It’s lying season in the NFL and there are so many rumors flying all over Indianapolis it’s nearly impossible to avoid. Pete Carroll said today that the Seahawks are not planning on moving Wilson.

Nick does not feel the same way.

It’s Manic Monday and there is so much to cover. Aaron Rodgers’ decision to stay in Green Bay is coming soon and signs are starting to point towards him staying. Is the dream slipping away? Should Bronco Country hold on or is it time to let it go? CANNONBALL… Cecil says Broncos won’t take Matt Corall or Desmond Ritter at 9 but may move back into the first to get them if they are still available. Nick says this is a good contingency plan if Rodgers does not come to Denver. WHAT’S EATING CECIL… Cecil wants Rodgers now, not later. Next year could offer many more options at the position that would help for the long-term rather than right now. Nick likes the long-term over right now but that doesn’t move the needle for Cecil. Finally, it’s Combine week and the misinformation is already starting to fly. Agents use this time to leverage deals and shake things up for their clients so be careful about believing what you hear and read.

CANNONBALL… Russell Wilson scrubbed his social media of all things Seahawks. However, ever the word on the street is that the bad feelings go both ways. Could a breakup be coming soon? Later, Major League Baseball is looking like they will delay the open to the season if a CBA deal isn’t reached soon. Is this ruining the game? Are they going to lose fans for good?

What is going on with Russell Wilson and the Seahawks? Yesterday afternoon Wilson quietly scrubbed his social media accounts of all Seattle related posts. What could that mean for the Broncos? CANNONBALL… The word is that the offers for Jimmy Garoppolo are not there. Could this be the reason why reporters in San Francisco are putting out that he might be staying?

It’s Wild Out Wednesday and things are certainly getting wild around the world of sports. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst made several eye raising comments today in his press conference. He first dodged a comment about trading Aaron Rodgers. Then he implied Devante Adams could be available in free agency if the two sides can’t come to an agreement. CANNONBALL… Brandon Scherff has been franchise tagged twice now and looks like he will be available in free agency. Is this the type of move that can make a significant improvement to the Broncos; O-Line? Nick would rather draft a prospect while Cecil sees a few bright spots on the current roster that would be worth giving another year. Later, the NFL and XFL have created a unique partnership allowing the XFL to be used as a “petri-dish” for the NFL. Is this a pro for the game? It is not an official feeder system but Cecil says it is better than relying on the NCAA. Would having a “minor-league” for the NFL make the game better to watch or safer for the players? Finally, Is all forgiven in love and war? The hiring of Brian Flores doesn’t change much about his situation in Miami so what happens next? Cecil says he was shocked when Pittsburg hired him as he is currently suing the league. Nick explains how this happens and how it looks to the rest of the NFL.

It’s time for the most interactive segment on the Denver Airwaves “Pulse of the People with Nick and Cecil”. Tonight the guys ask you… What do you really feel about Drew Lock? Does Drew Lock deserve another chance here or somewhere else? Later, the guys react to the emotions of Broncos’ Country before giving their final opinions. Cecil says Drew lacks genuine confidence that he tries to fake and Broncos’ Country isn’t buying it. Nick says he needs to work on his feet as much as his arm if he wants to make it work. Finally, last weekend featured the NBA All-Star evens but they were met by a mixed response. Where were the theatrics and the star-power? Dwyane Wade himself called the dunk contest a ”6”. What did you think of the weekend’s events? Both Nick and Cecil agree that they need the biggest names to bring people back.

It’s Tuesday and guess what… Aaron Rodgers is in the news. Is Broncos Country finally over the drama? The Aaron Rodgers situation feels more like an episode of The Bachelor than the NFL and it does seem to be ending anytime soon. CANNONBALL… The Packers have not picked up the phone about Davante Adams. What is going on with the Packers and their superstar receiver? Nick says it doesn’t mean much because deals get done at the deadline. However, this could have as much of an impact on the salary cap as it does with Aaron Rodgers. Is the first domino of the off-season the Devante Adams deal? Later, what about Drew? With so much talk about Rodgers some forget Lock is still a Broncos as well. Could new coaching staff change the outlook for Drew? Finally, does Lock even deserve another chance? Nick says nobody deserves anything in the NFL. However, things are a little different for quarterbacks.

What is the role of teaching in an NFL locker room? Coach Hackett has pointed out the importance of reaching players in the locker room to get the most on the field. Does being a great teacher outweigh being great with the x’s and o’s? Further, what is taught and how makes as much impact as the scheme and other factors that lead to victories. Later, does a new play caller automatically? Now that a new staff is in the building, will Drew Lock or anyone else experience a big jump in their career? Finally, it’s draft day… in the USFL. Nick and Cecil close the show by breaking down the draft and looking at the rest of the week in the NFL.

It’s a fun Friday and there is so much to discuss. The Broncos officially hired Ejiro Evero as the newest Defensive Coordinator. How will his long-term friendship with the other coaches on the staff end up looking on the field? CannonBall… What do the other teams in the AFC West think of the Broncos? As we go through the QB’s available vs the current QB’s in the West it’s easy to see why the Broncos are not thought of in the highest regard. Would Jameis Winston be a guy that could change people’s minds? Nick says three names would certainty change the narrative. If the Broncos get one of the big three QB’s the West has the best in the league. If they miss, they won’t be getting respect anytime soon. Later, the NFL is apparently negotiating an extension for Roger Goodell. Why would they give him an extension when he is lready signed for several years? Nick says it’s because the owners love him. He makes them a lot of money and protects them but what about the players and fans? Finally, Cecil is adamant that if the Broncos get Kirk Cousins they also need a new GM. That said, what about the Wilson option? The word is that both sides are unhappy in Seattle. Could this be the one Quarterback the Broncos should focus on this off-season?

The final hour of tonight’s show starts with a break-down of the top 50 free agents and what is says about the Broncos. Only one Bronco showed up on the list so things are not looking good for the moment. However, Nick points out that sometimes players, coaches, and agents throw each other under the bus to make sure they get signed. Nick also takes some time to explain how he evaluates players and how rumors spread through the scouting community. Does the person that drafts a player help or hurt their career path? Cecil points out that he frequently hears Luck is a “Elway” guy and not in a good way. Later, what is going on in Kansas City? For the second day in a row news breaks about Patrick Mahomes before being scrubbed from the internet. Nick says the one thing you don’t want is your friends and family hurting the brand. Nick and Cecil talk about the rumors flying now that the offseason has begun. Finally, the guys tie a bow on the week and and get us ready for a long weekend.

The Aaron Rodgers news never seems to end. Is Broncos Country getting desperate? Cannon Ball… Are cracks starting to show in Kansas City? Information leaked out today that Eric Bieniemy and Patrick Mahomes aren’t getting along and EB may be out. We have seen the two argue on-field and in the headsets but that may not mean much. The source of the article claiming these things was unclear and taken down shortly after posting. However, where there is smoke there is usually fire. Could the Chiefs’ stronghold on the AFC West be coming to an end? Later, nobody on the Broncos can do what Jerry Jeudy can do so why are there so many questions being asked about him? He has never been in a situation with the Broncos that lead to real success. Will a new Offensive Coordinator change his narrative? What could a new Quarterback do for his career? Finally, Justin Simmons is doing big things on the field and in the community. Nick and Cecil finish off the hour by discussing the good he is doing for the kids in Denver.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The news of the day has been all about the Chiefs and Eric Bieniemy. Do Patrick Mahomes and Bieniemy not get along to the point it’s time to let EB go? The source of this information is very questionable and the article making these claims was quickly removed. Should we take any of the claims seriously or were they just a bunch of assumptions? Does it even make sense to keep a coach year to year because the optics of letting him go would be too much to overcome? Later, the Cowboys settled with several former cheerleaders for 2.4 million. We may never know what really happened but this issue is not going away. With teams like the Washington Football Team dealing with similar issue, what can the NFL do to clean things up? What would happen if a player did what owners and management are allegedly doing? Would they ever play again? It’s looking more and more like the league has a problem with its higher-up more so than with players. Finally, the guys reminisce about what parent-teacher conferences were like for them back in the day before discussing Cecil’s experience today.

Is it possible to rig a game in the NFL? After several questionable calls in the Super Bowl many fans are questioning the outcome of the biggest game in sports. With billions of dollars at stake, could outside sources be influencing outcomes? Cannonball… Could the Cowboys be losing Amari Cooper? Could the Broncos be a landing spot? Nick says it could happen if the price is right. Could Green Bay try to get Cooper in an effort to keep Rodgers? Cecil says that move could be enough to get him to stay. Later, more on tanking and throwing games. With sports betting legal in 30 states and more coming soon more money is wagered every year. What influence does gambling have on players, coaches, teams, owners, and fans alike? Would having a draft lottery change anything?

Aaron Rodgers is trending right now but not for football reasons. Rodgers and Shailene Woodley have reportedly called off their engagement. How does this impact the Broncos? Does it make it less likely he comes to town? Could this change of status also change his attitude towards retirement or where he plays next? Later, more quarter back rumor floating around don’t sound good for the Broncos. Deshaun Watson wants out and named teams but the Broncos weren’t mentioned. Could this mean that Cousins is on the move and if so, could end up in Denver?

It’s a turned-up Tuesday and the guys have a ton to cover. First, it’s time to talk about Aaron Rodgers. News came out last weekend about the Packers making a strong push to keep their MVP leader. Is this a strategic move on the part of the Packers? Could it backfire on them and end up being the straw that breaks the camel’s back? Nick says keep watching because there is always a twist. CANNONBALL… Derick Carr is probably staying in Las Vegas and getting paid. Does that mean the Broncos are going to have to pay up for the next Quarterback? Later, let’s meet the new Broncos coaches. Are they experienced? What do you think about all the new hires? Does a lack of experience concern you? Finally, Nick and Cecil take some time to evaluate the Tight End position. Some of the best players out there were late round picks. Could Fant be one of the top players in the league with this new staff?

The final hour of today’s show is all about the quarterbacks. Cecil wrote about this yesterday on DenverFan.com and now he and Nick take some time to unpack. Is there another Matthew Stafford out there? Could it be Baker, Wentz, Ryan, Murray, Darnold, Goff, or Tua? The guys go one by one to see if there could be a good fit for the Broncos if they don’t land a veteran? You may be surprised who Nick and Cecil say could be that guy and who isn’t. Later, the Nuggets won a tough game against a bad team last night. What happened and why? Also, did Boogie Cousins find a home in Denver? Are they really set up to make a run? Finally, Cecil sounds off on the Aaron Rodgers situation one last time (for the evening). Could Green Bay make a trade sooner than later? Cecil says it could be as early as the end of February? Nick also says the deal with Green Bay is not done which could mean he is going to be available.

It’s a reaction Monday and there is so much to unpack. What a game!! The Bengals and Rams gave us one for the ages so what can the Broncos learn from each team? One thing is sure, the importance of the Quarterback has never been higher. Does having stars in the crowd change the game on field? Nick says players definitely react when that happens. Cannon Ball… could the Chiefs be interested in OBJ? Before the injury he said he would take a hometown discount to stay in LA but has that changed? Later, did the Rams just show the rest of the league a blueprint for modern success in the NFL? The Rams went all-in and cashed in with the biggest prize of all. Is mortgaging the future for the present the best way to win? Finally, the Nuggets host the Magic and the guys give their preview. Are the Nuggets going to make a run?

Further, will retiring early become a trend and if so what can teams do to fill huge holes created by outgoing players? Cecil says the way to fill those holes is through the draft.

Aaron Rodgers won his second consecutive MVP award last week. Many ideas started to swirl based on his acceptance speech. What did you think? Is he retiring, coming back to Green Bay, or possibly moving on to another team? The Broncos need a quarterback that can cover up some of the flaws on the team even if it’s not Rodgers. Nick and Cecil take some time to break down the quarterback situation as it sits as the team is being rebooted. Later, Adam Schefter’s post game Tweet raised eyebrows.

CANNONBALL… Kevin O’Connell says he has a plan for Kirk Cousins which probably means he is staying in Minnesota. Later, Broncos interviews Jon Embree today.

John Elway and the Giants have responded to the Brian Flores allegations. Both parties were very clear in saying the charges are false and provided details of their interactions.

Is somebody lying or is there something else in play? Further, why would a coach want to keep interviewing after feeling like you have been used? Later, the Broncos should waste no time making one move. Nick says they need to reach out to John Embree to come work with the Tight End group.

Later, according to sources, Hackett is the first to get a second interview for the Broncos’ head coaching job? Does this mean anything and if so, how did he leapfrog Dan Quinn the previous favorite? Finally, Aaron Rodgers is a very polarizing player. What do you think, do you want him or not as the next Broncos’ QB? Cecil says his dream is to land both Hackett and Rodgers but the reaction from social media seems to be pushing back on the idea.

What is a “real” interview? After interviewing so many candidates one must ask if all actions are equal? Some of the names are lesser known so are those “real” interviews? Are some of them just to check boxes? Nick says all interviews are real in nature but we are really looking for the best fit. So, what is the perfect fit for the Broncos?

Nick made waves on Twitter last weekend but there is much more to the story than what people may think. Candidates do not get the same opportunities and all he was asking is for things to be fair and equal. Cecil also points out that there is a double standard when it comes to the past. Why is this? Further, another name is emerging as a possible head coach but this candidate does not call the plays for his current team. Nick and Cecil discuss the importance of having a play calling background for the next Denver Broncos head coach. Later, age is just a number, right? Tom Brady is older than every head coach left in the playoffs other than his own. What does this tell you?

Wildcard weekend ended up being a bit of a bust. Was the NFL the only real winner? What did you think? Were the games interesting or a snooze fest? Cecil was only impressed with one game but Nick loved it all. Cannonball… New information emerges on Nathaniel Hackett that might lead the Broncos in another direction. Sources say Hackett doesn’t call his own plays. What does that mean for his future as a coach? Is this a good enough reason to keep searching? Later, what was going on the officiating in the Raiders vs Bengals game? There has been a certain Las Vegas influence to the season that most can feel. Can you? What do you think about the officiating and if there is something else in play? Finally, are the Nuggets on a crash course with the Jazz?

How much can one take from the outcome of one game? The Cowboys looked to have two of the top coaching candidates before Wildcard Weekend but did things change after a terrible loss at home? Nick says Dan Quinn’s defense dominated teams in their division but questions whether that really matters. Quinn brings a football mind that goes beyond the playing field so the weekend did not hurt him as much. Moore probably didn’t come out of the weekend the same way. Is Quinn’s connection to Wilson greater than Hackett’s connection to Rodgers? Has Broncos Country been blinded by the temptation of getting Rodgers? Is the possibility strong enough to matter? Nick says no matter what don’t get Cousins or Minshew. Later, The Seahawks announced they will bring back Pete Carrol and Russell Wilson. Did this latest bit of news change things for the Broncos?

Could the Raiders keep their interim coach if they win? Nick says Bengals win and Cecil doesn’t disagree partly because Burrow seems ready for the spotlight. Next, Bills vs Patriots. Pats are on the road and it’s going to be quite chilly. On paper the Bills look better but what about the Belichick factor? Which QB is going to play well enough to win? Could it come down to a field goal? Nick takes the Bills in a close one and Cecil agrees. On Sunday, Tampa Bay vs Philadelphia in Tampa Bay. Buccaneers are getting a ton of talented players back and is ready to make another run. Nick says that the Eagles need to run the ball to get a tough win. However, they guys both take Tom Brady and the Bucs. Next, 49ers at the Cowboys. 49ers played their way in and shouldn’t be overlooked. Nick and Cecil are split on this one, what do you think? Although, the guys say the Steelers vs Chiefs is not nearly as close. Could Big Ben get a huge win for his final run? Finally, Cardinals vs Rams could end up being a high scoring affair. Matthew Stafford had a bumpy end to the regular season and the teams split in the regular season, so who wins the third and final matchup? The guys are split on this one as well so who do you take? Later, the situation in Green Bay is looking more complicated as the days go by. Keeping Aaron Rodgers could be extremely expensive and potentially impossible from a financial standpoint but nothing is impossible. What does this mean for the Broncos? Is this good news or otherwise? Finally, when can a Super Bowl prediction cost more than bragging rights? Julian Edelman make a bold prediction then doubled down with a massive bet. What do you think?

Do you still like me Yes or No? The Broncos look like they are heading towards a break up with many individuals within the organization. Now that they are officially out and we are about to learn how people really feel about the current players and staff. How do you feel about things as they stand? Listening to players and coaches speak give an idea of what is really going on but is it real? The appearance is that everything is okay but that certainly can’t be reality. There is only so much players can do if scheme is not strong, so who is really to blame? Is loyalty a blessing or a curse in the business of football? Later, the Nuggets have been ravaged by Covid forcing people to step up but that hasn’t been the only issue. Turnovers have been one of the major issues emerging.
