The guys talk about Al’s vacation and DMac’s knee injury. Al wants to know how quick of a comeback it will be for DMac, and the guys rejoice over the news that no surgery will be needed for Shane Ray after all. Al tries to decide if the team wants Ray to play or not. In the Big 3, the boys talk about Tiger Woods’ performance at The Open, and DMac says Tiger was fun to watch. Tim Tebow’s future in baseball is now uncertain with the news of his hand injury, and Big Al goes over the trade of Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors for DeMar DeRozan. The guys talk about Emmanuel Sanders & Von Miller’s traffic tickets in their beautiful cars, and the fines & charges that can come along with tardiness in the NFL. Also, Big Al explains why the expectations when playing for Bill Belichick are just different.
Big Al talks about the players’ trust with the medical staff, and when rehab & treatment can be better than surgery. Al says if Ray passes a physical, he must be traded, because the Broncos have drafted his replacement in Bradley Chubb. Al & DMac talk about Johnny Manziel’s new beginnings in Canada, and why Shane Ray needs to be traded if he passes a physical. Big Al says if he was Shane Ray, he’d be hot at the organization right now. Big Al says his favorite day of training camp is when the Broncos first put the pads on. Big Al blows DMac’s mind by telling him of the Toyota conceptual robot that can shoot free-throws, and asks DMac if he would be a fan of artificial intelligence being incorporated in sports. DMac thinks we are still generations away from this becoming a reality, and blends the idea with that of E-Sports. Also, Big Al says what makes sports great is the human triumphs & struggles. Al & DMac talk about the need for umpires in a modern-day baseball game, and if Al would even notice if they replaced the home plate umpire with a robot. Al likes the emotion involved with balls & strikes, and DMac likes technology but is against robots.
The guys talk about the weird weather, and why Al is excited to go to the Olympics in Tokyo. Al goes back on his comments about the Rockies needing to trade Nolan Arenado, and DMac tips his hat to Zack Greinke. Also, Al is happy about the Denver Nuggets at least trying to land superstars like LeBron James & Kawhi Leonard, and gives DMac credit for wanting to draft Josh Rosen or Lamar Jackson. The guys talk about their reports from training camp last year, and what makes players a ‘bust’ or a ‘hit.’ DMac hits up the text line, and Al can’t believe how much more a franchise QB is worth than Von Miller. Al & DMac look back at their reactions to the Bradley Chubb pick, and decide when Vance Joseph’s last days could be. DMac says we are moving forward with Chubb despite Al’s regrets.
