Orlando Franklin sat in with D-Mac today!

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!

In the first hour, D-Mac and Orlando acknowledge the arrival of Bomb Cyclone 2.0! The guys react to the abrupt, bizarre press conference from Magic Johnson during which he stepped down as the Lakers’ President of Basketball Operations. Considering he didn’t inform Jeanie Buss, or any other Lakers executive, was the move disrespectful? Orlando talks about what it is like to walk away from the game you love, like Magic just did. D-Mac breaks down Mel Kiper Jr’s latest 3 round mock draft, which has the Broncos taking a hometown favorite and a QB with a lot of question marks.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!

In the second hour, D-Mac and Orlando react to Mel Kiper Jr’s latest 3 round mock draft, which has the Broncos selecting NC State quarterback Ryan Finley in the third round. Nicki Jhabvala, Fan Broncos Insider and writer for The Athletic, joined the program to break down what she saw from the Broncos’ Local Pro Day today. Was this more about the coaches than it was the players? The guys react to Champ Bailey’s comments regarding Chris Harris Jr. and his pending contract extension. Are both sides simply acting in their own best interest?

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!

In the third hour, D-Mac and Orlando discuss Shane Ray’s visit with the Oakland Raiders yesterday. Could we see another former Bronco in black and silver next season and, if so, will he be a real threat? The guys react to the abrupt, bizarre press conference from Magic Johnson during which he stepped down as the Lakers’ President of Basketball Operations. Considering he didn’t inform Jeanie Buss, or any other Lakers executive, was the move disrespectful?
