This Super Bowl week episode opens with perspective on NFL history and the current state of the league before zeroing in on the Broncos’ offseason questions. The panel examines whether Davis Webb’s move to offensive coordinator represents a real shift in play-calling responsibility or simply reinforces Sean Payton’s command, and how that decision affects Bo Nix, locker-room relationships, and long-term organizational balance. The conversation then turns to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, with Woody Paige offering firsthand insight into the voting room, the problems created by anonymous ballots, and why transparency matters when evaluating legacies such as Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft, and Mike Shanahan. In the final portion of the show, attention turns to Denver’s winter sports teams, as the Nuggets’ loss to Oklahoma City sparks an honest assessment of Nikola Jokic, the emergence of Peyton Watson, health concerns, and the urgency surrounding the NBA trade deadline, along with discussion of the Avalanche and where both teams fit among true contenders.
