The Drive with Big Al and DMac LIVE on the day before the preseason opener for the Broncos and Bears takes place at Soldier Field in Chicago. We talk with Earl Boykins about USA Basketball as they play Australia this afternoon. We also talk with Cecil Lammey, our Broncos Insider, to get some insight on some of the players you should keep your eye out for in the later part of the game tomorrow.
The Drive with Big Al and DMac gets going talking about back to school time as both Al and DMac’s kids return to school this week. Today was a travel day for the Denver Broncos as they have landed safely in Chicago for preseason game number one tomorrow against the Bears. The Quarterback leaderboard has Mark Sanchez on top because of the day off and he’s starting tomorrow. Alfred reveals a reason as to why Mark Sanchez got the nod over Trevor Siemian against the Bears.
The Big Three at 3:30 brings in Earl Boykins and the fellas talk about the Olympics as the USA is dominating so far out there in Rio and last night’s “Hard Knocks” featured Jeff Fisher releasing a player for having a female in their room.
The hour wraps with Earl and the fellas talking about the Olympics and how Team USA Basketball has fared, both Men’s and Women’s teams. The guys also preview today’s US vs Australia match-up, featuring Delly Cakes.
Football at Four underway with the fellas talking to Earl about “The Basketball Tournament,” which was a tournament that a team from Colorado came in second to. Breaking news comes in that there is a guy scaling Trump Towers in New York. Breaking Broncos news comes in as the team has released Phil Taylor from the IR.
Cecil Lammey, our very own Broncos Insider jumps on the show to preview tomorrow night’s preseason opener in Chicago. We hear some names that you should look for in the second half of the game against the Bears. Listen to our conversation with Cecil HERE!
The third and final hour underway with the fellas updating the world with a “Cynical Olympic Update.” There are giant Capybaras roaming freely on the golf courses and algae taking over the diving pool. Shifting over to the Broncos, Al and DMac break down the Defensive Line of the team and who you should expect to see make this team when it’s all said and done.
The Closing Bell rings on this US Men’s Basketball game against Australia as it’s an extremely competitive game right now and the Women’s USA Basketball team as trending up because of their preparation for their competition. Trending down are the green pools at the Olympics and John Saunders, from ESPN, passed away today as trending down.
The show wraps up with the fellas trying to figure out how this water turned green down in the diving pool at the Olympics. Alfred thinks the worst part about it is these athletes are competing in it this water later this week.
