CSG Podcast

Denver attorney Scott Goldman of Goldman Law, LLC joins the show to help break down the felony charges against Elvis Dumervil. Should Broncos fans be worried about missing their defensive star? What will prosecutors have to prove? Just what did that Victoria's Secret employee see? Goldman has all the answers and he's got jokes too.Ross and Nate also talk NBA Summer League as Timmons was in Las Vegas over the weekend as a member of the media getting some inside looks at the Nuggets. Chris Andersen is also discussed ... Marc Stein of ESPN had reported that Birdman would not be amnestied and that caused Nate to be quite confused and after the show, friend of the podcast, Benjamin Hochman reported that indeed Birdman WOULD be amnestied.Plus, what happens when Ross dressed up like Peyton Manning a few Halloween's ago? He almost got pummeled - that would never happen now, right?!?

What better way to learn about the enemy than to bring in a couple of writers from the Thunder and Timberwolves? J.A. Sherman from Welcome to Loud City and Tim Allen from Canis Hoopus join the show to talk about the Thunder and T-Wolves, respectively. We delve deep in the Northwest division as Sherman fills us in on Perry Jones, the likely departure of hated Derek Fisher, and how Oklahoma City fans and Seattle fans are interacting. A budding rivalry between the Thunder and Nuggets would be a great thing for the two cities and the league, Sherman explains why. The Wolves seem to be collecting a lot of white players, what does Allen think of that? Is there any chance of Love ... Kevin Love ... in Denver? Can Minnesota expect to see a playoff run in the near future and how is Ricky Rubio recovering from ACL surgery? All that and Allen even humors Ross with some Cubs and Rockies talk. Plenty of Nuggets discussing as well. Timmons is gearing up for Summer League and will be in Las Vegas to cover the team this weekend. With Andre Miller and Evan Fournier signing deals, do the Nuggets have room to add JaVale McGee and Quincy Miller? Find out by clicking play! 

 Jeff Morton from Denver Stiffs joins the show to talk Nuggets free agency, the draft that was, and the crazy NBA contracts being handed out by general managers.The losing continues as Coors Field - will anything change?And, as usual, movie talk dominates the end of the podcast as Ross, Nate, and Jeff throw out some titles that you must watch. The Troll Hunter? Why not! The Change Up? You better see it!

People might not see how the sweet science of boxing and basketball go together. Other than the referees and judges perhaps being crooked, they don't really mix. That's why we had two separate calls on this episode as Duran Hill of Sting Like a Bee Entertainment and Kalen Deremo of Roundball Mining Company join the show.Hill shares his background with us - with his father and uncle both boxers, he was destined to get into the fight game. And being named after legendary boxer Roberto Duran, who his family knew, that just added fuel to his fire. He wanted to be the next Sugar Ray Leonard, but an accident derailed his promising career. But as one door closed, another opened as he got into the business side of boxing. The Denver Native is currently promoting a 7-match fight card on Friday, June 13th at the Exdo Event Center in Downtown Denver. For tickets, visit his webpage here. The card features some local talent that could soon burst onto the national scene.On the national stage tomorrow night are your Denver Nuggets. Deremo, one of three contributors at RMC, dives deep into the NBA Draft with us.

Before the Nuggets defeated the Lakers in game 5 to stay alive, Nate and Ross recorded this episode at Jake's Fine Food and Spirits. They had the privilege to spend some time talking Broncos and Nuggets with Denver Sports Nation hosts "D" in Denver and Adam Kinney. Ross also managed to track down one of the other Denver Stiffs, Jeff Morton for a quick halftime chat - which you will hear instead of the usual Week in Review. Nate played quiz master to some big time Nuggets fans in this week's CSG trivia showdown. All this and more in CSG #40!

Plus, Eisen discusses his own podcast and explains why it's fun to have celebrities on his show.The Nuggets are fighting for their playoff lives against the experienced and talented Los Angeles Lakers.

Can the Nuggets pull of another miracle comeback (remember the 1994 playoffs?!)? And speaking of miracles ... Todd Helton and Jason Giambi are still plugging along for the Rockies, but have the Rockies done a disservice by doing something different with their hotdogs and bratwursts?

Welcome to the 37th episode of the Colorado Sports Guys podcast. Ross and Nate have a lot to talk about ... including CSU's new hoops coach - again, what teams the Nuggets might face in the post-season (if they make it), the Broncos' schedule is out and they have a ton of prime-time games because of Peyton Manning, Todd Helton's turn back the clock games, and Nate's gripe with a local Irish pub.

Do you smell that fresh cut grass? I bet you do because Opening Day at Coors Field happened this week and that fresh grass aroma has been floating all over Lower Downtown Denver aka LoDo. We should consider ourselves lucky not to smell the vomit that surely covered a good area of the LoDo sidewalks. Well, the guys talk at length about Opening Day and your Rockies. Are the hardcore fans upset with the slow start? Do the casual fans like going to the ballpark above anything else? What can we expect out of this team and should we even care ... The CSU football team is facing a little controversy up in Fort Fun or Fort Collins. Guilty before being proven innocent continues to be the cloud that hangs over every star laden headline. What role should head coach Jim McElwain play in the whole thing? Ross and Nate have to agree to disagree. The Nuggets now have eight games left on the schedule and Danilo Gallinari is back, but Nate tries to explain why Denver fans should expect more out of their basketball team. And Ross is more than happy to question the Nuggets and their ownership's ways. All that and a little bit more ... just click play!
