First off let me just say, yall KILLED that first segment. We need more roasting of the Raiders ?

I grew up in an environment where eating steak with steak sauce means it wasn’t cooked right so I usually refrain from using it, but something I learned in Germany is they use Kraeuterbutter which is some type of herb butter that straight up slaps. It’s hard to come by in the US even in German restaurants but if you’re a better chef than me I definitely recommend looking up recipes and whipping some up next time you have steak.

Squirrel is delish but is basically just a tiny chicken wing.

I think you guys are sleeping on the best air food: bat soup

This is a question for Zac: is the code DNVR not magical anymore? Haven’t heard you say that in a while. Is everything ok at home?

Thanks y’all and as always, stay down with the sickness… the sickness for the thiccness

“I feel like Pheasants are the flamingos of the West”

Sports Center recently posted a story on their Facebook page about a fan asking Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster to go to prom with him after he and his girl friend recently broke up. Ju-Ju accepted and bought the 2 a pair of matching $10,000 (!!!) Suits.

That got me thinking, if you were in the same situation which former or current Broncos player would you like to accompany you to prom?

I think I would go Shannon Sharpe. Constant life of the party and if anything were to get out of hand, I would feel safe knowing he had a direct line to call in the national guard!

Well everyone as we are deep in the off-season I have an off topic recommendation for all, and a themed question. Read, or listen to, the works of Nassim Taleb (Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Antifragile and Skin in the Game).

If you want to better understand “probabilistic thinking” and “fat tails” (and not the kind that get you in trouble with the significant other) this man is for
you. Certainly has changed how I think about most things in life, let alone football.

So in the spirit of the author; I’ll ask a themed question from a concept the he introduced me too (though not his own, it’s Greek mythology) – the Procrustean bed. The TLDR for this fable is an inn keeper who cuts off the feet of his guests to make them fit the bed – or if they’re too short of the bed, he stretches them so they fit just right. You can use it to describe plenty of situations where we attempt to force outcomes from variables or data that don’t quite fit.

So – for which current broncos defensive player is a Vic Fangios scheme a Procrustean bed?

Ironically – me trying to force a “Procrustean” question into football relevancy is pretty Procrustean. I’ve reached Meta procrusteanism.

P.S Cannot get over the quality of the “Crop preserver” in the Manscaped pack. *beep* me the only problem with it is it doesn’t come in a tub big enough for me to just straight up tea bag my *beep* into it each morning.

Dear Mighty Three, greetings from the UK! Haven’t posted for a while.

Was catching up on the pods while working in the garden this weekend and really enjoyed Wednesday’s pod on sporting rivalries. I liked Mase’s idea for making the 17th game a local rivals game, where local rivals are not already divisional. Local rivalries are very common in British football, cricket and rugby, and loved by the fans, but some of the NFL’s divisions are geographically far flung. The Colts are in a state that borders the Great Lakes yet a South division! The Cowboys are one of the furthest south teams yet in an East division?

So why not go a step further and realign the League to set up local rivalries and bragging rights WITHIN divisions, using the 17th game for historic non-local rivalries, like Cowboys Redskins?

So something like this:

AFC North (Great Lakes East): Bills, Bengals, Browns, Lions
AFC East (East Coast): Jaguars, Patriots, Giants, Jets
AFC South: Panthers, Dolphins, Titans, Bucs
AFC West: Cardinals, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders
NFC North (Great Lakes West): Bears, Packers, Colts, Vikings
NFC East: Ravens, Eagles, Steelers, Redskins
NFC South: Falcons, Cowboys, Texans, Saints
NFC West (West Coast): 49ers, Chargers, Rams, Seahawks

Appreciate this is a long comment, so pick from it what you will! Thanks, as always, for the entertaining and informed discussions. Great to be a part of the worldwide DNVR community! Christopher

Right, ok, this is going to be a weird post for me, and one for Ryan, if he’s there on Monday..

RK, I know we’ve only butted heads once before, on Twitter, about Marshawn Lynch’s return, yeah, that was me ? But I’m going to have to do it again..

You say there’s no sauce to go with Steak?? What????? Have you never had peppercorn sauce? Red wine sauce? Blue cheese sauce? Mustard sauce? Mushroom sauce? Teriyaki Sauce? Black bean Sauce? There is literally (not literally) a limitless end to sauces that go with Steak..

Now then, and this is the tricky bit..

I’ve been vegan for over 10 years now, so a little weird for me to suggest these, but I am not one of those vegans who judges others for their choices, unless you fire shots first, then I’ll take it to 11, and bury you for it (again, not literally), but hopefully I can help you enjoy your steak a little more. Give them a try, and I’ll even fire some recipes over to you if you want.

On the meat front, for everyone else, and this is as stereotypical vegan as I get, I’d urge you all to try and eat wild animals, that haven’t been farmed. Much more flavour for you lovely meat eaters to enjoy. So Pheasant was a great shout, and yes, they most definitely can fly, wish they’d do it more, rather than run out in front of your car just before you reach them ?

Peace out and love to all

The Big T

If I had my druthers the NFL owners would not take any more of our money via jersey sales, but Von switching to 40 would be legendary. And yes, I’d buy one.

Love
The Count.

A first section topic I would love to hear the three of you discuss would be the international games Vs international franchise Vs a developmental league eg. starting NFL Europe again as a developmental league.

Question for today, with Patton Oswalt as the lead, who would be playing RK and Zac in 75: The Andrew Mason Story?

what do y’all make of cam going to the pats? i’m the rare broncos fan who loves cam and i’m rooting for him to go 15-1 next year and win comeback player of the year although going from cmac, dj moore and greg olsen to…..sony michel, nkeal harry, matt lacosse and those rookie tes arent gonna do him any favors.

i think one of y’all (maybe zac?) had the pats game down as a win. are you prepared to swing it the other way or is that something you’ll revisit once we’ve seen cam in action at the start of the season?

i find it interesting that he’s a perceived ‘locker room problem’ but several of his old panthers teammates ran to congraulate him the second the news broke last night. people really tell on themselves ?☕

Hey guys hope you had a great weekend!

I want to say happy late bday to John Elway, the guy who made me, and many other people, Broncos fans! I am not a Twitter debater but I was trying to talk some sense into a Chiefs fan who was saying that Elway was not a top 10 QB when he played. This guy had the audacity to claim Elway was not only not a top 10 QB ever, but that he wasn’t even top 10 in his era! ABSURD!

Anyway, my question today is this: What is your perfect sandwich?

Have a great day y’all!

-This one’s for Pat!

MY BOYS! I feel honored to have inspired some of your Fired Up Friday indignation when I tweeted you about the CBS Sports’ story of top NFL offseasons. That was a great podcast, RK and Zac.

I have a potpourri of thoughts today from one of last week’s podcasts. . . . I actually bought a 2011 AFC West Champions hoodie solely because of how quirky that season was. I also passed the bar exam that October, so I felt like I need something else to mark that personal victory. That may be the only team that I ever buy a divisional champions garb of any kind. . . . Randall Cunningham was not only an incredible gifted quarterback, but as Mase mentioned, he could punt. His 91-yard punt in the swirling winds of the Meadowlands was a thing of beauty, as was his 95-yard touchdown pass at Buffalo. . . . Do any of you remember the 1997 Broncos’ Week 5 game at Atlanta when Jason Elam was lost for the remainder of that game after he suffered a strained hip flexor following an extra point that put Denver up 7-0? The Broncos decided to go for two on their next three touchdowns, and converted two of them, rather than have their punter Tom Rouen attempt extra points. The Broncos successfully converted their only fourth down attempt that game as well. . . . And last week, I finally discovered how to warm up Alfredo sauce without the oil separating and making it unpalatable! You have to add a splash of milk to the leftover sauce, simmer it on low over the stovetop when warming it up, and voilà!

Have a great week! DNVRMY SALUTE!

MY BOYS!

Ive been wanting to say this for awhile and i still feel like im not going to get to the point i am trying to make very well.

Both Zac and RK have on multiple occasions have stated Von has not realy lived up to his contract for various reasons. One of them being he has no won DPOY.

Over the course of the last year you both have stated that the national media does not like Denver and they seem to disrespect the organization with their lack of inclusion into the HOF, various “BS” lists and lack of knowledge of the roster and system.

This would bring me to why i think you need to back off Von a bit on the lack of DPOY, as i do not believe it is his fault. Von not having won DPOY is the same reason Russ Wilson hasnt ever received an MVP. Ignorance from the nation talking heads as Mase would put it.

You can give me the injury crap with JJ Watt and say “Well if he stayed healthy” all you want, but the fact of the matter is he hasnt stayed healthy and thus i would rather have Von Miller. Mack is over rated to me, he is no better than Von on any level.

Now i am not saying either of you are Von haters and i know you have stressed that, i do think you need to back off the take of him not quite being worth his contract. I will agree with some of the criticisms ya’ll have, as i share some of therm as well.

Von feeds this year, id put good money on it!

Love ya’ll!
