They go over the schedule game by game and come up with what they believe the Broncos’ 2016 record will end up being. D-Mac opens the Big Three at 3:30 by talking about Paxton Lynch, asking if the Broncos will have the opportunity to take him in the Draft. Chad Brown talks about the timing of a bye week and points out that the evidence suggests that there is no correlation between having a later bye week and being successful in a season. D-Mac talks about the latest Johnny Manziel misadventure, questioning how close Manziel is to rock bottom. D-Mac talks about the most recent ’30 for 30 on how the Orlando Magic when from nothing to an NBA finals in six years.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!

4PM – The guys start Football at Four talking about the Broncos’ schedule for 2016. They discuss how much success they see the Broncos achieving, with both of them picking Denver to have a solid season. They talk about the departure of Brock Oswieler, and how the mistreatment of the young QB drove him away from Denver. D-Mac believes that the Broncos could have still won the Super Bowl had Oswieler been the starter throughout the playoffs. They discuss the QB options for the Broncos going forward, including Tyrod Taylor. Chad Brown believes that the Bills don’t want to keep Taylor, and that it makes sense for the Broncos to target him. They ask if the Broncos’ defense will be good enough to bring the Broncos back to the same level of success in 2016. The guys are joined by reporter for the Colorado Rockies, Patrick Saunders. They talk about the Rockies most recent victory, specifically the performance by Chad Bettis. They talk about Jackie Robinson day and what it means for the MLB. Chad Brown asks if the Rockies are just going to show more of the same this year, with a solid start and heavy decline over the second half of the season. Listen to our conversation HERE!

 

 

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!

5PM – For the final hour of the show D-Mac and Chad Brown talk about Johnny Manziel, and discuss other players in the NFL who had problems with drugs and alcohol which ruined their careers. D-Mac talks about a breaking news story reporting that Brandon Marshal of the Broncos was involved in an road rage incident with his Uber driver. D-Mac starts off The Closing Bell by picking the Broncos’ 2016 schedule as trending up, pointing out that the Broncos will be able to beat most of the teams on the schedule. Chad Brown has Johnny Manziel as trending up, saying that the sooner he hits rock bottom, the sooner he can pick himself back up. D-Mac disagrees, as he has Johnny Manziel trending way down. Chad Brown has the chances of the Broncos being able to take Paxton Lynch in the draft trending down, with mocks now having him going as high as the top 10. The guys close the show discussing how the Broncos are going to find the right quarterback over the next few years.
