Broncos know when you’re being a bad teammate & what is The Patriot Way: The Drive

The Drive with Big Al and D-Mac – 12/14/2016 – The Drive live in studio. Wednesday’s show the guys talk about jersey swapping & Demaryius Thomas’ presence of mind. Maybe the man-cave can wait to have a Harry Douglas jersey hung up. Former Nugget Earl Boykins,

Listen to hour one here!

Earl Boykins joins the show in studio. D-Mac says the Broncos are not looking for high-character players right now, just help, but Michael Floyd is asleep at the wheel off a Cabernet Sauvignon. Without a bye week before the Thursday night games, the NFL will remain a “poop-fest.”  Listen to the full interview here!

Kobe steps up to tutor Buddy Hield, and it’s undeniable how much other sports help athletes with their footwork in basketball & football. Earl explains the unspoken code of ethics protecting athletes and their health. There is a difference in being nasty and being a dirty player.

Zac Brooks shakes things up, and C.J. Anderson cleared but not yet practicing. Since Belichick took over, Patriots average only three losses per season. Broncos are unpredictable, but Patriots are innovative. Also, Jim Leavitt lands in Oregon.

Cecil Lammey joins the show to continue the search for fat guys that still hold an NFL contract. Demaryius and Harry swap threads, and it’s not a good look for DT even though he’s smiling in the picture. Cecil tells Al & D-Mac Demaryius is no longer dialed-in like Emmanuel Sanders, and there is a clear void without No. 18 around. No waiver claim needed on Michael Floyd with eight receivers already on the roster and an expiring contract. Listen to the full interview here!

Also, the Denver media’s infiltration in the Broncos locker room & the effects on Demaryius and other athletes. Players are no longer surprised by anything in the media, no understanding of a rotary phone or a land-line. Missing the glue in the locker room, and maybe it starts with Peyton Manning.

Listen to hour three here!

Chad Brown joins the show to say Aqib Talib crossed the line with a selfish play on Harry Douglas that drew a 15-yard penalty. Chad tells the guys he’s only a fan of the Colorado Buffaloes, and remains objective on everything else. Mike Mularkey preaches physical football, but X-rays may be too far. Trading jerseys shouldn’t even be allowed now that it’s gotten so ridiculous. Also, the Patriot Way may be as simple as a mental edge according to Chad, and Belichick is only the greatest of all-time because of Tom Brady according to Al. Listen to the full interview here!

Also, Chargers prepare for a move to L.A. and Raiders prepare for a move to Las Vegas. Al gives some insight into how the Raiders Vegas deal may be sponsored & financed. Aaron Rodgers not immune to getting trashed by former teammates. Darius Slay says the value of the Pro Bowl lies in Hawaii.
