Kyle and Marcello | Hour 1 | 014.19.25
1/19/2025
After a week off Kyle and Marcello are back to break down a week of sports!
The Denver Broncos season is over, the guys break down the year and ask, was this season a success or was how it ended more worrying than encouraging? Do the Broncos have the guy at quarterback figure out, or will we still need to ask the question, is Bo Nix the guy? The NFL playoffs roared on last night and the Detroit Lions were upset by the Commanders. Could the Lions coaching staff be shaken up beyond recognition after the loss? We have seen a lot of dynasties in the world of sports, which ones truly felt unbeatable in their heyday? Throughout the week at the station our hosts were asking can the Broncos win the division with the Chiefs looking like they may be on the decline. Can they get it done before the end of the Nix rookie contract? We take our Sunday Stroll, the Avs had a big win over the Stars, but lost to McDavid and the Oilers. Is McDavid the best player in the world and what qualifies players for that title? Do the Nuggets have what it takes to compete with the surging Thunder? After seeing the Thunders dominant win over the Cavaliers, Kyle seems to think Denver is big trouble!

After a week off Kyle and Marcello are back to break down a week of sports!
Is there more truth to these rumors than what is being lead on? Do we think Deion could be a good coach at the NFL level or is the jump in competition to big? We wake up and reset! The Avalanche have figured a lot out since their big move at goaltender, but the Mikko Rantanen Contract situation may be a bigger issue than we realize. The Avs are at risk of losing out a big part of their nucleus and the captain could be the key to keeping Mikko in burgundy and blue. The Denver Nuggets have helped Westbrook reach a career renaissance everyone thought would never happen. What grade would we give the Westbrook experiment and has it now given Malone more lineup flexibility moving forward? Now that the Broncos season is over, where should the Broncos go from here? What pieces do they need to add and what position will impact next season the most? The NFL divisional round concludes today who do the guys think will win? Predictions wrap up this week’s edition of Kyle and Marcello!
