About the Episode

As the Broncos surge into the Super Bowl conversation on the strength of an 11-game win streak, After the Horn welcomes longtime Denver sports voice Vic Lombardi for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond football. Lombardi joins Tom Green, Ron Zappolo, and Woody Paige to discuss why this Broncos team feels different, whether Denver is in the midst of a rare golden era with the Nuggets and Avalanche also operating at elite levels, and how expectations change when teams truly matter again. The conversation expands into the chaos reshaping college football, including the College Football Playoff debate, Notre Dame’s place in the sport, NIL, the transfer portal, and Vic’s recent one-on-one time with Deion Sanders at Colorado. Lombardi also reflects on the evolution of Denver sports media, the importance of authenticity, and his ongoing battle with aggressive prostate cancer, sharing perspective on mortality, purpose, and legacy in one of the most honest and meaningful episodes of the season.
