The Drive kicks off with D-Mac joined by Chad Brown filling in for Big Al and the topic to start the show is Chad taking the first steps to pursuing a coaching career. This leads to conversation on the differences in responsibilities faced by coaches compared to players.

For the Big Three at 3:30 the fellas highlight game six between the Golden State Warriors and OKC Thunder, the Broncos being listed as the 4th most talented team in the NFL, whether or not the Broncos should target Knowson Moreno, and if they think players are able to respect overweight coaches.

The guys close the hour with D-Mac boasting about his predictions for the Rockies’ game last night coming mostly true. This leads to some closing discussion about the Rockies’ pitching staff and argue if there is reason to be optimistic.
