Advertise on podcast: Six in the Morning with Brett Kane

0:00 - The NFL Trade Deadline came and went, and the Broncos added...a LB. Daiyan Henley. That's it. They bolstered the defense, and didn't add any pieces to the offense. How do we feel about the trade this morning? 15:12 - Clearly, the price for Jonathan Taylor was too high for EVERYONE. Not just the Broncos. Is Denver's offense fine? Can they make a deep run with the pieces they have? Why didn't they try to grab another offensive weapon? 32:16 - Last night, we saw maybe the biggest NHL hit we've seen in YEARS. Jacob Chychrun deleted Nick Cousins! And looking at the replay, it was a clean hit. Textbook. Always keep your head on a swivel out there, kids.

0:00 - Somehow, someway, the Nuggets found a functioning airplane, left Mexico, arrived in Houston, and fell to the Rockets last night. They made things interesting in the 3rd quarter but couldn't seal the deal. Turns out, it's tough to win a basketball game when only 2 of your players can score. 15:05 - How are things looking on the CFB gridiron? It's time for another edition of COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 31:54 - The NFL Trade Deadline is 2pm today. If the Broncos don't do anything, Brett will be disappointed. This team still has needs and they're squarely in the middle of a championship window. Let's go. Make some moves. No time to waste.

0:00 - THE DENVER FOOTBALL BRONCOS ARE 7-2 BABY! They're heading into the Bye Week on a high note. How do we feel about their 26-21 victory over the Panthers? Is Brett going to be hyper-critical of a win this morning? 14:40 - The NFL Trade Deadline is tomorrow at 2pm MT. Are the Broncos going to make a move? SHOULD they make a move? Who should they target? Adam Schefter reported that the Broncos contacted Arizona to see if Trey McBride is available. Shooters shoot! 31:18 - The Broncos have now won 16 consecutive one-score regular season games. That's unbelievable. NFL History. But Sean Payton said he's kinda pissed about it, because some of those shouldn't have been one score.

0:00 - The Avs played the Predators again, and lost to them...again. Jared Bednar wasn't hanging his head after the game though. He said his team looked much better on the defensive side of things. How are we feeling this morning, Avs fans?  14:36 - This has all the makings of a trap game. Heading to the Eastern Time Zone. 11am ET kickoff slot. On the road. Bye Week approaching. Riding the high of a thrilling win over the Chiefs. The Broncos absolutely CANNOT afford to lose focus in Carolina on Sunday. Head down, do your job, get a win, enjoy the bye. 31:14 - The Ravens are toast. Did you watch the game last night?? Now they have to decide if Lamar Jackson is a viable option going forward at all! If a complete and total rebuild is imminent, they'd have to ship out Derrick Henry. And if they do...Broncos, GO GET HIM.

Brett breaks down a vintage Nikola Jokic performance and why the Nuggets are at their best when Joker dominates inside instead of living from three. Plus, Bryce Hopkins and Trevin Brazil continue to flash, and Denver’s depth starts to look more encouraging. Then it’s all Broncos. With the trade deadline approaching, Brett argues Denver needs to aggressively pursue a difference-making running back, whether that’s Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry, Breece Hall or another proven option. He also pushes back on criticism of the Jalen Waddle trade and explains why George Paton’s strong draft history actually makes it easier to sacrifice picks for a win-now move. Chapters: 00:00 Apex Jokic is back and the Nuggets find their winning formula 06:26 Bryce Hopkins, Trevin Brazil and the Nuggets’ young depth step up 10:24 Mexico City, altitude and a slightly creepy Google search 13:53 Ravens-Jaguars could shake up the running-back trade market 15:21 Why the Broncos have to add a running back 16:41 Was the Jalen Waddle trade actually a mistake? 20:51 Bad quarterback play changes the wide receiver conversation 22:09 Denver’s Super Bowl window means it’s time to be aggressive 25:51 What can fix the Broncos offense? 28:20 Why a star running back could change everything 31:44 What would a Jonathan Taylor trade actually cost? 32:38 Breaking down George Paton’s recent draft picks 36:23 Known star vs. draft picks: Why Brett wants Jonathan Taylor now 39:25 Denver’s roster depth makes a blockbuster trade possible 40:53 George Paton deserves credit, but it’s time to make the move

0:00 - Welp, that was no fun at all. The Avs went to Columbus on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and got crushed 7-2. Call it a scheduled loss if you want. But after the game, Jared Bednar was less than thrilled with his squad's uninspired performance. We're 16 games into the season. His team cannot afford to be this inconsistent.  14:17 - It's time for another weekly edition of NFL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 32:13 - What's the point in trading for Jonathan Taylor. Sean Payton never runs the ball anyway, right? Wouldn't that just be a waste of assets? Brett disagrees with that entire narrative. Sean Payton runs the ball when he has RBs he trusts.

0:00 - The Avalanche started slow then scored 5 unanswered goals to bury the Blackhawks. The Nuggets came out swinging, started strong, then faltered down the stretch and lost to the Blazers.Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. 14:52 - We do it every Tuesday at 6:20am! It's time for another weekly edition of CFB STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 32:32 - Jonathan Taylor or Jonah Coleman? Jonah Coleman or Jonathan Taylor? Why pick just one? Isn't there a place for both on this roster?

0:00 - BRONCOS BEAT THE CHIEFS 28-24! They're sitting in the Driver's Seat of the AFC West with a 6-2 record. Turns out, when the Broncos defense remembers how to tackle, good things happen. How are we feeling on this Rally House VICTORY Monday, Broncos Country? 13:12 - The Denver Football Broncos have now won 15 consecutive one-score games. That's damn near impossible. Do you understand how crazy that is?? And yet somehow, some way, it keeps working. 30:14 - Yesterday, Kaner thought the Broncos offense actually showed baby steps of improvement. They're making progress. It wasn't 3.75 quarters of garbage followed by one moment of brilliance, like usual.

0:00 - JK Dobbins got a little snippy with the media scrum yesterday. He had a bit of a 'tude, dare I say? Brett understands where JK is coming from, but it feels like a slight overreaction to a relatively benign question. 14:25 - Throw everything from Week 1 OUT THE DAMN WINDOW. The Broncos Defense and the Chiefs Offense look completely different than they did on that Monday Night disaster. The Broncos D won't miss a gajillion tackles, and the Chiefs don't have any viable receivers. KC's entire offense depends on one man: Kenneth Walker. 30:41 -  Nuggets are in the desert tonight hoping to keep their momentum rolling! All they need to do is play the same style of basketball that secured them a win in New Orleans. Exact same template.

0:00 - We had our first DOUBLE DIPAROO of the season, and it was also a DOUBLE WINAROO! Both the Avalanche & Nuggets took care of business. Everyone, breathe a sigh of relief! 14:17 - Don't let their record fool you...the Chiefs aren't the juggernaut you think they are. They're mortal. They're gettable. The Seahawks just exposed them last weekend, and the Broncos defense can do the same on Sunday.  30:24 - The small market, low payroll Milwaukee Brewers are World Series Champs for the first time! This one's for Bob Uecker! How did the Brewers pull it off? Can the Rockies copy their formula and reach the mountaintop some day?

0:00 - Don't let the Week 1 Monday Night Football disaster fool you. The Broncos ABSOLUTELY CAN beat the Chiefs. Brett says we're gonna learn a lot about both of these teams when they meet at Mile High on Sunday. 14:21 - What's happening in the Wide Wide World of the National Football League? The shield is nothing if not exciting. It's time for another weekly edition of NFL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 31:52 - Both the Avalanche and the Nuggets play tonight, and both squads are having their different issues. What do we need to see from both teams?

0:00 - The Nuggets didn't just lose last night. They got BLOWN OUT by the winless Warriors at Ball Arena. Yikes. What's going on with the Nuggets? Something feels off with them. They just don't look right. 14:39 - College football is nothing if not unpredictable. ESPECIALLY this year! Let's try to make sense of it all with another weekly edition of COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 31:28 - Jonah Coleman looked good on Sunday vs the Cardinals! Has he locked up the starting job? Is he trending towards RB1? What's next for JK Dobbins?

Sorry for the delay, folks. Yesterday was strange, to say the least. Nelly had significant car troubles and couldn't make it in, so Brett ran the board AND hosted solo. MacGyver Kane, everyone. So a day late and a dollar short, here's (Rally House Football) Monday's appetizer hour for the dedicated Kaner fans. 0:00 - DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT YOUR BRONCOS ARE 5-2! They took care of the Cardinals on Sunday and actually scored points on offense. Wizardry! How are we feeling today, Broncos Country? 14:22 - Brett's been saying for ages that you just needed the Broncos offense to be COMPETENT! THAT'S IT! They didn't need to be the 2013 Peyton Manning offense. Far from it! An average offensive performance combined with this stellar defense will win you games. Yesterday was proof of that concept! 31:32 - The Nuggets needed a crazy insane comeback to force OT and beat the Pelicans. It was a win, but it certaintly didn't feel like one at times! What's the biggest takeaway from that game? Onto the Avs...they smacked around the Lightning, then lost to the lowly Predators. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. How we feeling about the Avs right now?

0:00 - The Nuggets started the season on the road in OKC and lost 96-84. They're 0-1 on the young season. And even though they lost to FRIGGIN OKC IN OKC AGAIN AND WE HATE THOSE CLOWNS, Brett's not hanging his head. He saw signs of improvement in areas where he needed to see it. 15:22 - Brett's expectations for Broncos @ Cardinals: the Broncos win, but it's an UGLY win. Why would you expect anything different from this Broncos squad? They're nothing if not consistent. 31:30 - A texter said Bo Nix is playing scared right now because he doesn't want to get hurt. He has a potential contract extension coming up soon. He's gotta stay healthy. Brett disagrees with the texter's premise

0:00 - The Nuggets are officially back on the court TONIGHT. Now that the entire offseason and preseason is in the books, how are we feeling, Nuggets Nation? 12:59 - Bo Nix addressed the media yesterday, and he was asked about lingering issues with his ankle. AnkleGate just won't go away, will it? He admitted, more or less, that it's still bothering him and he's still working through it all (both mentally and physically). 30:48 - Jonathon Cooper returned to the Broncos locker room, and spoke to the media for the first time since his arrests for domestic violence.
