They compare Bo Nix’s progress to past Denver QBs like Jake Plummer and Jay Cutler, and question whether Sean Payton will ever truly commit to a run-first identity. The crew also looks ahead to a measuring-stick matchup with the Eagles and weighs in on who the best team in the NFL really is.\n\nSpecial guest Mina Kimes joins to talk about life after Around the Horn, raising the next generation of sports fans, her thoughts on the state of the NFL, and whether the Broncos’ formula can translate into a playoff run.\n\nThe conversation also turns nostalgic as Woody shares stories from his early days in Denver sports media and the newspaper wars that shaped his career. In “What Grinds My Gears,” Ron goes off on NFL kickers and rule changes, while the panel vents about the Rockies’ lack of urgency, college football chaos, and the rowdy Ryder Cup crowds.\n\n🎧 https://pod.link/1840490951\n\n"}
