Jeff Morton from Denver Stiffs comes in studio for a plethora of sports talk and of course some movie/TV talk. We're diving into the Broncos Summer Camp ... or Training Camp, the charges being dropped against Elvis Dumervil, and why did 40,000-plus attend the first Broncos scrimmage at Sports Authority Field? The short answer is Peyton Manning, the long answer is Peyton Manning. If the city is talking about the Rockies, does it matter if that talk is good or bad? The team is on the mind of many in the city and state, but will things ever change down at Coors Field? Morton delved into the Rockies in his latest piece on Stiffs, The Nuggets, the Rockies, and the benefits of good ownership. The "back-9" of the show is dedicated to some Olympic talk (specifically women's volleyball), pop-culture talk, UFC 150 where Benson Henderson (Colorado Springs) and Ed Herman (Fort Collins) will be making separate appearances, some 1990's hoops talks comes out as the old Bulls and Rockets teams are discussed and the legendary 1996 Bulls vs. Nuggets game, and of course some movie/TV talk. And if you like the grassroots style stuff like podcasts, then you have to check out the guys at FND Films.

We also discuss the coverage of the games and our thoughts on beach volleyball outfits, men's synchronized swimming, and Ryan Lochte.

Just about everywhere you turn, people are talking about the tragic shootings in Aurora, CO. And folks are discussing the sanctions and punishments handed down to Penn State, as well. We believe it's important to remember those who were harmed and wronged and to remember them in a positive light for their good deeds here and their heroics. Sports takes a backseat when tragedies occur, but they can also help heal. It's been great to see the Colorado community come together. Enjoy the show, and do like some readers do on this episode, email us and give us your take!
