Schlereth And Evans

Apparently, Mike’s “Jinxy Cat” powers were used for good this time? As Avs fans, are we happy that the Oilers lost in the Stanley Cup Final? We got to hear great insight from Nuggets vet Deandre Jordan whose nickname in the clubhouse is now “The Black Serbian”. What exactly does Jordan add to this Nuggets roster?

Coach Prime appeared on our friend Joel Klatt’s podcast and seemingly confirmed he’s not going anywhere and that where his kids end up going in the NFL does not influence his choices. So, what’s the timeline in Boulder then after hearing that? JJ Reddick is the new head coach for the Los Angeles Laker, which Mike says has “tremendous bust potential”. Finally, yesterday on our show Damien Woody pointed something out about Tom Brady that sparks hope for Bo Nix’s’ future.

Mike was dreading McDavid winning the Conn Smythe Trophy, but things actually ended up working out in his favor and might highlight just how overrated Mike thinks McDavid is. Val Nichushkin had better playoff numbers than McDavid- does that change our perspective on what we want the Avs to do with him? Finally, do we believe that Deion is in it for the long hall in Boulder?

Deion spoke on Joel Klatts podcast about the biggest issues CU had last year. Did Stink notice that these issue got fixed when he attended practice? Then, breaking news out of the Avs camp regarding a players contract- the Nuggets also resigning a returning player: did they make the right move? 

Tonight is Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, are Mikes Jinxy Cat powers at work here again? Then, former NFL offensive guard and current ESPN analyst Damien Woody joins the show to give his perspective on Bo Nix after playing for the Pats and witnessing Tom Brady come in as a 4th string QB. How can the Broncos follow in the Pats steps in developing Bo Nix?

It looks like the Nuggets are going to re-sign Cancar under their terms, but do they still need to go out there and make it their top priority to find a better back up big man for Jokic? It’s Oiler and Panthers Game 7 tonight, will MacKinnon’s Hart Trophy be forgotten if McDavid gets the job done tonight? Finally, Mike and Mark debate, should the Broncos make PS2 the highest paid corner in the NFL?

Mike is still worried that MacKinnon’s Hart Trophy will be overshadowed if McDavid wins the Stanley Cup tonight. Other people…like James Merilatt do not care as he joins the show to defend his article at Denversports.com where he says the Broncos need to settle down on the whole “screw the haters” talk as of late and that Broncos fans aren’t in the wrong for having doubts. Mike and Mark actually agree with James on something.

We're listening back to our "F.O.S" Damien Woody from earlier this morning who provided great insight on his experience being with the Patriots when Tom Brady came in as a rookie. What can the Broncos take from the Pats to provide the best environment for Bo Nix to thrive? Then, as we inch towards the Summer Olympics, Michael Phelps responds to some Australian trash talk.  

Mark Schlereth and Mike Evans open this Is It Just Me Friday talking about how to end elder abuse before digging into some X’s and O’s. They talk basketball, reveling in the Lakers’ misery and discussing emulating your idols in the wake of Jayson Tatum’s Russ-level corniness. The guys get some inspiration and motivation to end the work week from an unlikely source and they go down memory lane. Mike and Mark close out the first hour of the show answering some texts asking them about some of the Super bowl trips, home remedies, and Mike’s googly eyes for Tom Brady.

Hour 2

Mark Schlereth and Mike Evans continue the conversation from the second hour discussing if the Broncos have a chance to replicate what the Texans did last year with CJ Stroud. They answer some questions about the Nuggets roster, what they should do and how confident they are in Christian Braun. They have a debate about what should count as an assist in hockey. They heard Jaleel McLaughlin talking about the big chip on the Broncos’ shoulder and they must question if that kind of attitude is warranted for this team.

Mark Schlereth and Mike Evans open the fourth hour of the show asking if the Broncos fans out there would rather make the playoffs as a wild card under Stidham and learn nothing about Bo Nix or have a losing season with Bo Nix and see if he’s the guy? They are joined by our Denver Post Broncos Insider, Troy Renck, to get his take on Christian Braun’s viability to replace KCP if that comes to pass. He lets us know whether Michael Malone and Calvin Booth are on the same page now. He tells us if he believes the chip on Jaleel McLaughlin’s shoulder is warranted. Troy reacts to some breaking news from the Avs to conclude his guest spot. What’s Trending? The retirement of a beloved Avalanche player, a story about JJ Redick, Bill Simmons’ rationale for drafting Bronny James, and a wild story coming out of Milwaukee. The guys close out the work week with The Fan’s PD, Amanda Brown, who tells us all about the Rolling Stones concert.

Hour 1 is all fun as the guys debate whether its okay or not to throw trash in someone else’s trash can, which shows you should be binging, the Rockies beating the Dodgers, Bill Belichicks 24 year old girlfriend and if a listener should ask his coworker out on a date.

We got to hear a lot of great stuff from Nathan Mackinnon who honestly exclaimed he felt the season was a waste. If the Nuggets and Avalanche don’t win another championship, would we considered that a waste after having two of the best players we’ll ever see? Tom Brady talked about the importance of getting you playmakers involved early: Mike and Mark think about that through the lens of the Broncos.

Mike and Mark do a little role play as Mike plays Bill Belichicks 24-year-old girlfriend. Then, the guys dive into Broncos players roles this season. Does Javonte Williams have a comeback season? Finally, MacKinnon contemplates playing with Sidney Crosby and reflects on winning the cup.

Mike has a hypothetical proposition for Broncos fans involving something we’d have to give up for the Broncos to win a Super Bowl within the next 10 years. Stink is not on board. Then, Tom Brady absolutely floors Mike and Mark with some groundbreaking analysis.

Mat Smith and Kyle Reese are in this morning as we celebrate Juneteenth here at the station! Baseball legend Willie Mays has passed away and Mat and Kyle are honoring his career before reliving the Rockies getting absolutely screwed last night. Finally, the Broncos have released training camp dates!

Mat and Kyle debate Shedeur Sanders’s skillset before hitting all the major news in the sports ether. Speaking of breaking news, there’s a lot going on in the NBA as we move towards the draft. What does this all mean for the Nuggets?

Nick Kosmider of The Athletic joins Mat Smith and Kyle Reese as they rank Broncos running backs. Who will be the one to stand out this year? Nick essentially breaks down this entire Broncos squad: where have they gotten better and where do they need to make crucial changes still?

Mat Smith and Kyle Reese are in on Juneteenth as we look back at the career of one of the most influential black athletes of all time, Willie Mays. Then, we’re talking Avs offseason moves: what can they do to get back to the finals? Finally, Kyle explains why considering Shedeur Sanders as next years #1 draft pick is unwarranted.
