Six in the Morning with Brett Kane

0:00 - If the Broncos want to have continued success this year, they need to adapt/reinvent themselves on both sides of the ball. 12:57 - Let's play a game. ESPN published a list of the Top 100 NFL Players. 5 Broncos made the list. Can you guess who they are, and where they rank?CU Football kicks off a new season this Thursday. Brett is still trying to wrap his head around what he calls "The Deion Conundrum."30:11 - CSU Football begins their season on Saturday. It's their first game under new head coach Jim Mora Jr. Brett thinks the program is in a great spot, and Mora was the perfect hire.

0:00 - The initial 53-man roster is finally set! Any surprises? Or did it all go like we expected it would?15:00 - As of right now, the Broncos kept all 3 QBs on their roster. Brett thinks this is pointless. You really only need 1 backup, because if Bo gets hurt again (god forbid), you're screwed no matter who's backing him up.32:19 - Cale Makar signed a MONSTER contract extension on Friday. It's the largest contract in NHL history. And yet, Brett still thinks it's a team friendly deal for specific reason.

0:00 - The NFL released a statement about the hottest topic in football right now: players who want to return to college. And basically, their statement kicks the can down the road to the NCAA. They said "you figure it out." So what will the NCAA do?14:18 - Carmelo Anthony has a podcast, because every athlete with a pulse has one these days. He recently delved into an off-court activity he used for team bonding. When they needed to break out of a losing streak, they frequented a particular establishment. But his read on the situation is a flat out lie. 33:14 - The NFL is officially retiring the Pro Bowl games. RIP the Pro Bowl. Gone, but never forgotten. What caused the decline of the Pro Bowl? It used to mean something. It used to be an honor!

0:00 - One NFL preseason game left, about 3 weeks until the regular season, and the Broncos are looking pretty healthy! Aside from all of their centers spontaneously combusting, there haven't been any major injuries. Good. They need to hit the ground running on September 14.14:11 - It seems like college football has been in the headlines for MONTHS now, but it never has anything to do with actual football. It's all off-the-field drama stuff. And yet, even if LSU lets that Browns TE go back to college, we'll still be there for Week 0 action with a brewski and a smile. No matter what.Also, how was your Sunday? Did you have a good weekend? It couldn't have been much worse than 49ers Owner Jed York's Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio. 35:04 - (there's little bit of music in the beginning of this segment because of a recording error, so please be cool, Spotify. I'm not Post Malone nor Morgan Wallen, and I'm not pretending to be either of them. Although I wish I had their paychecks.)The current NBA CBA is a double-edged sword. It's created ultimate parity in the league! Gone are the days of Warriors-Cavs NBA Finals every single year. But also, it punishes teams for drafting and developing players into superstars. You can't reward a roster full of homegrown talent with lucrative contracts.

0:00 - He threw a Pick 6 last night, but Fernando Mendoza is looking pretty legit in preseason. If he reaches his potential, you'll have Bo Nix, Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, and Fernando Mendoza. That's insane. Preseason Game #2 tonight for the Broncos! What do you want to see from the team?15:19 - How do you play Rock Paper Scissors? Do you go on 3 (Rock-Paper-SCISSORS) or do you go on 4/shoot? (Rock-Paper-Scissors-SHOOT).After that, Brett is still ruminating on the Peyton Watson trade, and there's one thought he can't shake. Something we'll never have an answer for. Did Watson intentionally sit out in the playoffs to preserve his trade value? Was he healthy and chose to stay out?32:16 - First of all, I played the infamous breakdown from Freak on a Leash by Korn, and it understandably broke Brett's Brain. Second, Broncos camp is done and the season is less than a month away. The team is starting to take shape. Simple question: will the Broncos be good this year? Their win total is Over/Under 9.5.

0:00 - Broncos camp got a little chippy yesterday, boys! Bo Nix and Nik Bonitto got into a scrap that ignited the team. Do we like seeing that? Do we like seeing everyone tussle and scrap at practice, even if it involves the QB?14:49 - As Moser likes to say, NFL running backs age in dog years. Relative to the NFL, they have a short lifespan. That's why you need to capitalize on guys like RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman ASAFP. You don't know how long they'll last, and it probably won't be long.30:30 - What's the craziest thing you did to join a fraternity? Did it involve participation in an underground cocaine ring?After that, ESPN's Monday Night Countdown (MNF pregame show) is adding Pat McAfee as an analyst. Man...McAfee fatigue is real. How much of this guy is too much?? The friggin rap album wasn't enough??

0:00 - I know it's only preseason but BRONCOS COUNTRY LET'S RIDE! The Broncos looked real good against the Falcons in preseason Game #1. How are we feeling about this squad and the re-vamped offense under Davis Webb?14:48 - What were some of the other biggest takeaways from preseason game #1?31:54 - Von Miller finally has a new home, and it's not back in Denver. He can stop petitioning Sean Payton with a boombox outside his window. The Vonster is taking his talents to the Dallas Cowboys.

0:00 - Bo Nix won't suit up for the Broncos tomorrow in Atlanta. We assume Stiddy will get the start, since he's currently listed as 2nd on the depth chart. Does Ehlinger have a shot to pass him on the depth chart? Can he earn that backup job this preseason?15:59 - Russell Westbrook officially announced his retirement. For some reason, he was hated by many NBA fans throughout his NBA career. What made him so unlikeable? Brett would've taken him on last year's Nuggets team in a heartbeat. 29:18 - Look at how many 1st round QBs are struggling to find a starting gig right now. Does the NFL have a QB development issue?

0:00 - Happy Kay Adams Day! She made her annual pilgrimage to Broncos camp yesterday, sat down with Sean Payton, and got him to give real human answers to questions! It's the one time every year we actually get good, natural, free-flowing conversation out of Sean. What did he divulge to his best media friend this year?14:24 - A few months ago, Brett said this offseason would kill Nuggets fans. And we didn't understand the half of it. Remember our Greek buddies Panathinaikos who waged war on our station last year and tried to steal Jonas Valanciunas? Well, they're back with an even more outrageous offer. And they need to get bent. Again.31:25 - Yesterday, when Sean Payton spoke to the media after practice, he seemed a bit salty. And it's probably because his players keep getting banged up with these damn soft tissue injuries, including JK Dobbins yesterday. He left practice early. But hey, as long as he's healthy by week 1, he can still keep his pinky promise.

0:00 - Courtland Sutton was asked about his consecutive veteran rest days, and he said he's trying to be a "good soldier" and do whatever the team wants/needs him to do. He sounds like a guy who wants to be out there practicing, but is being told to rest.14:00 - Sean Payton will fly to Canton today to induct Drew Brees into the Hall of Fame. Somehow, Mike Shanahan is NOT in the HOF, which is a crime against football humanity. Payton was asked about his relationship with Mike, and his impact on the game. 34:40 - 6 days of training camps in the books! What has Raj observed from being out there?

0:00 - What did Raj see at camp yesterday? Nik Bonitto went down with some sort of leg injury, but he walked off the field under his own power. Sean Payton said he isn't worried about it, though. Overall, the defense looked solid yesterday. 14:26 - After 4 days of camp, Jaylen Waddle already looks like the real deal. It'll be a blast seeing him catch darts from Bo this season.Also, as a self-hating Mets fan, Raj actually watched a good chunk of baseball last night. Aside from the Rockies blowing it to the Rays, what else caught Raj's eye in the MLB world?31:05 - Zach Allen is already a man possessed in camp. He didn't need offseason surgery. He's got a shiny new contract burning a hole in his pocket. He's ready to GO.

0:00 - We're LIVE at Broncos Camp all week! After a productive weekend, how is the team looking? Is it all coming together? Also, Raj has to address the elephant in the MLB room.14:53 - Davis Webb is calling the plays. Jaylen Waddle is a Bronco. Can the offense pick up the pace, start quicker, and score more?32:14 - Don't expect Bo Nix to slow down on the heels of his ankle injury. He's not changing his game. He'll still be scrambling for extra yards.Also, the Evil Empire Thanos Los Angeles Dodgers traded for Tarik Skubal. Y'know, the defending Cy Young award-winning picher. The BACK-TO-BACK CY YOUNG AWARD WINNER. That's all, folks. A lockout is coming. There will not be any baseball played in 2027.

0:00 - Sean Payton addressed the media at the shiny new Broncos facility yesterday. He was asked about Jonathon Cooper and his presence at camp in the midst of his off the field issues.15:53 - Pablo Torre dropped ANOTHER Kawhi Leonard Clippers bomb. The hits just keep coming. And yet, Kawhi and the Clippers haven't been punished one iota by the NBA. Why is that? Why is Adam Silver so hesitant to bring down the hammer?33:14 - Bo Nix is heading into Year 3 with the Broncos, and he has a predisposed ankle cloud hanging over him. How will he stack up with the rest of the AFC West QBs? Mahomes coming off his injury, Fernando Mendoza, and Justin Herbert is the competition.
