The Drive LIVE with Big Al and DMac in studio get the show rolling with reaction to the subcommittee of the Pro Football Hall of Fame snubbing Broncos’ Owner Pat Bowlen for the contributor vote, instead voting Paul Tagliabue and Jerry Jones instead. We hear from Cecil Lammey, Troy Renck and Tyler Polumbus to break down and preview this weekend’s game against the 49ers.
The Drive LIVE with Big Al and DMac as the fellas respond to the news of Pat Bowlen getting snubbed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s subcommittee that selected Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones and former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to the Hall instead. The argument is made that the timing is wrong as time is a precious thing for the Bowlen family right now, given Mr. Bowlen’s condition.
The Big Three at 3:30 brings up Chris Harris and Emmanuel Sanders’ relationship and the dive that Shaunie Miller took to beat Allyson Felix last night.
Our Broncos Insider Cecil Lammey joins the show to talk about today’s hat day out at Broncos Training Camp. We get a preview of what to expect with the San Francisco 49ers coming to town for joint practice before their preseason matchup on Saturday night out at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Hear our chat with Cecil HERE!
Football at Four underway with Alfred talking about his conversation he had with Coach Mike Shanahan yesterday. He goes in depth regarding the art of playcalling and what’s going on in a coaches mind when they call certain plays.
It’s important to have somebody in the workplace that isn’t scared of the boss and isn’t scared to challenge them. Mike Shanahan had Alex Gibbs to keep him level, Kubiak doesn’t have that. Alfred brings up Mitch Tanney, the analytics guy, as somebody that is there to question Coach. The guys switch to Broncos v 49ers now as the conversation heads to the bullet the Broncos dodged by not acquiring Colin Kaepernick…. a Quaterback with a “dead arm” at the moment.
We are joined by Troy Renck, the Broncos Insider for Denver7, to discuss what’s going on out at Broncos Training Camp as the San Francisco 49ers come to town tomorrow to practice with the Broncos out at the UC Health Training Center for the week heading into Saturday’s Preseason Game #2. Listen to our conversation with Troy HERE!
The third and final hour of The Drive on the road with Tyler Polumbus in studio talking Broncos as the debate of Aqib Talib comes back up as we’re still waiting to hear the outcome of his “shooting himself” situation and if he can actually be suspended by the NFL for shooting himself?
The Closing Bell rings on Christian Ponder signing with the 49ers and the idea of the NFL’s new kickoff rules as trending up… Trending down is not covering big Olympic events live and the Rockies as trending down after losing seven of their last eight games.
The show wraps up with the fellas talking weightlifting in the Olympics. As the last Man to win a medal in weightlifting for the United States was in 1984.
