Jerry Juedy provided us a lot of entertainment last night outside of all the games as he and Stink engaged in a full-on twitter feud. It’s no secret MPJ has been playing way better lately. He had a great game last night but played coy in his presser. Unfortunately, CSU falls to Texas and their March Madness dreams fizzle. Mike and Mark break it all down…
CSU got the Virginia blues in their tough loss against Texas last night, none the less, they had a great season! The Nuggets beat the Nicks last night and go 13-2 since the all-star break showing a glaring difference in effort compared to the rest of the league. Thanks to Coach Malone? The debate is always whether we take Jokic for granted or not, but what about MacKinnon?

It's an "Is It Just Me" Friday and Stink is extra "punchy" if you will. Why do we address NFL owners as Mr.'s? Did Denvers own US Open winner Wyndham Clark drink a beer out of his trophy at last nights Nuggets game? And how does Stink rank the Nuggets starting 5's family jewels size?
Congrats to CU beating Boise State last night in their play in game!

It was a hat-trick for Colorado sports teams last night as the Avs, Nuggets and CSU Rams secure the W. Congrats to CSU but how terrible was Virginia? The Avs go 4-0 on their road trip and the Nuggets go 3-1. The Nuggets seem to let their leads go often. Is this just part of the game or something to look out for? It is highly likely that 4 quarterbacks will be taken in the top 5 or 6 picks of the draft. So is it Bo Nix or nothin’ for the Broncos?
CSU was able to take of Virginia in their play in game. Can CU get the job done against Boise St. tonight? Even though ownership stinks, it’s great to see Kyle Freeland be announced as the starter on opening day! Mark’s Bo Nix Southern accent dreams come true in another player before the guys get to the hard hitting issue: garage sales.
What are the saddest songs of all time? You can guess Stink has fun with this one. Earlier we said the Avs are the scariest team in the West, but would other teams say the same? Mike and Mark go down the list. MPJ is playing the best basketball of his career right now. How much do we trust the ball in his hands?
CSU Basketball faces Virginia in their play-in game tonight. Does this feel like March Madness for Stink and Mike?

Later, the guys beg the question: who’s more easily triggered, soccer fans or hockey fans? Finally, Stink gives us a little movie review.
The Nuggets lose a buzz beater to the Mavs yesterday. Michael Malone was pretty ticked off after the game, what does his reaction tell us? It seems the Avs are checking off one of their to-do boxes before the playoffs according to Mike. Finally, CU and CSU make the tournament by the skin of their teeth…kind of.
The conversation around the Avs sounds so much different now than a few weeks ago as they make it 3-0 on their road trip so far. The Nuggets on the other hand had a terrible rebounding day against the Mavs and Michael Malone wasn’t happy about it. ESPN’s Ryan Ruocco who called yesterday’s Nuggets game joins the show to talk about the Nuggets dominance since the All-Star break proving their “world beater” capabilities. Mike asks about the medias bias against Nuggets coverage to which Ruocco says doesn’t exist amongst the game day crews who appreciate the opportunity to watch the Nuggets play.

Mike and Stink look at the top 5 available QB’s in the league and who they’d take on the Broncos. Deion Sanders never runs out of energy as he appears on some national shows for his book tour. What’s the master plan for Deion and will Shedeur be our quarterback here in Denver?
Is it Just Me Friday! Is Jerry Jeudy really trying to sell to Cleveland that the Denver fan base didn't want him to succeed? Are we making too much of Nathan MacKinnon's comments on the team post All-Star break? How will Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs look to slow down Nikola Jokic?
Sean Payton has to love a QB in this year's Draft due to the Broncos lack of pursuit of a veteran QB, right? Have the Broncos benefited from addition by subtraction with players leaving the Raiders and Chargers?
