LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!

In the second hour, D-Mac and Tom discuss the Miami Dolphins’ decision to sign cornerback Xavien Howard to a massive 5-year, $76.5 million extension.

The guys discuss what they expect from the Nuggets in Sunday’s winner-take-all bout with the Trail Blazers on Sunday. Who needs to have the best performance in order for the Nuggets to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2009? Chad Doing and Travis Demers, hosts of the Rip City Drive on 620 AM in Portland, join the program to break down Sunday’s Game 7 matchup. Travis and Chad give their perception of this Denver Nuggets team and predict who will advance over the weekend. Chad Doing, a former Denver resident, also reflects on D-Mac’s sit down with Emmanuel Sanders and questions the guys on the current state of the Denver Broncos.

In the third hour, D-Mac and Tom react to Dalton Risner’s reluctance to wear 66, Tom’s old number. D-Mac says Tom looks almost identical to one particular Game of Thrones character.
