Tuesday January 30th, 2018

The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE from Radio Row in Minnesota for Super Bowl LII! The guys discuss the innovative RPO (Run-Pass Option) system in the NFL with the wrinkles Doug Pederson has added, and DMac is disgusted with Nuggets coach Michael Malone’s decision to let Barton dribble the ball up the court with one timeout left in the game last night against the Celtics. Al says Elway handled things incorrectly with VJ, and bringing back VJ could be viewed as a weak moment.
