We hiked four days to Machu Picchu to announce to the Andes that the @nuggets did in fact win the NBA championship 🏆. We didn't skip steps (probably will feel every one of them for a while). The Sacred Valley is now aware that All The Nuggets Are Good @DNVR_Nuggets
I like the Kevin Porter idea quite a bit. Especially with the emergence of TB. Start TB and AG, there's depth with Straw, Bryce, Spencer. Kevin is a legitimate backup / sometimes wingman for Jamal - will help quite a bit against OKC/Minnesota

Between Ball and Ant...fathers day in Minnesota must be ... Awkward
Ernie Johnson: “So are you a diaper changer, man?”
LaMelo Ball: “Nah, my girl do all that…I definitely did it before it’s just not my job you know what I’m saying?”
🤣🤣🤣🤣. (h/t @SnapshotKyle)

Not to mention - the biggest question we have of shadeur is his ability to avoid sacks - Denver has the cleanest pocket in the league.
Shedeur would feast in this offense with an actual threat to throw more than 4 whatever yards. #Broncos

Take that 40 yard attempt out of the game and he averaged 2.6 yards an attempt
There are 701 qualified QB seasons through 6 games in the past 20 years
2026 Bo Nix ranks 701st out of 701 in average pass length (4.9 air yards per attempt)
His avg pass was thrown behind the line of scrimmage in the 2nd half on Thursday

We're in the fourth quarter and bo still hasn't thrown for 100 yards in the air...half of it on one throw in the first

Man - I love the software hardware analogy and use it all the time to describe people who take on too much. I also believe Bo has always had a relatively low ceiling. What I didn't expect is Colin would be the one that brought these two ideas together
Colin Cowherd compares Bo Nix to Mitch Trubisky, says "regressing" #Broncos QB has already hit his ceiling:
"Trubisky was overdrafted, and most people I talked to did not like him. Bo Nix, most people felt [was] overdrafted, but Sean Payton wanted to win and didn't have the draft capital to move up and get a Drake Maye or Caleb Williams. And so a lot of people saw him as a second-round guy."
"I think you see this a lot in tech where the software grows faster than the hardware. There’s upgrades [to] software. Sometimes hardware can’t keep up with it. And what do you do? You get rid of the hardware. So in tech, the software sometimes outgrows the hardware. And I feel like the defense in the NFL is the software, and Bo Nix is the hardware. And what do you do? You upgrade the hardware."
"I think the numbers are very clear — that the more the NFL sees of him, despite getting better weapons, despite unbelievable continuity, it’s regressing slightly instead of improving slightly. And I think his confidence is lost to some degree. But I think the ceiling’s been reached, and it’s the old software-hardware dilemma."

Lots of guys who excel on defense do it with constant grit. Diallo looks like he does it with footwork. Screen navigation is pretty fun to watch too.

The main thing I miss from the nuggets during the 2000's was the swagger of Birdman, JR, and KMart. Imagine that energy around Jokic, Jamal, and AG. If this summer team is any indication, there's hope we will see it sooner than later.

What if the NBA addressed tanking by ending the season of the bottom 8 at on March 1 and reshuffled the schedule accordingly. Maybe shave off some games to spread it out and address injury epidemic with the faster paced games.

The NBA needs a version of this. AI must be able to definitively show whether there was a foul on a replay up on the big screen. I hope umps and refs have good mental health coverage

With the way the CBA works, this could actually work for the NBA. Only way to tank is trade for expiring salaries.
Adam Silver and his advisors would “seriously consider” abolishing the rookie draft and turning rookies in free agents if it is the only way to stop tanking, per @joevardon
