Nate Lundy, Shawn Drotar Launch 5280 Sports Network

[Denver Native (Carol)]

DENVER sports media veterans NATE LUNDY and SHAWN DROTAR have launched 5280 SPORTS NETWORK, a podcast and video service focusing on pro and college sports with a DENVER perspective.

LUNDY, the former PD and morning host at Sports KKFN (104.3 THE FAN)/DENVER, and DROTAR, the former FAN host, both left THE FAN in 2015; they are co-hosting a podcast for the new venture, and the site is also featuring clips from LUNDY's "NATE AND THE NOISE" daily show on YAHOO! SPORTS RADIO (to become SB NATION RADIO on MONDAY). Fellow DENVER sports radio vet VIC LOMBARDI is hosting "VIC TV," a video series, and LUNDY and DROTAR are hosting videos from BRONCOS training camp.

See and hear the new venture at 5280sportsnetwork.com. The site went live TODAY (7/27) at noon (MT).

I couldn't stand Nate Lundy when he did the morning show. He always did this fake sounding outrage schtick and tried to be a contrarian constantly. This is worth it just for Vic Lombardi, though.

Everybody hated Lundy, that was his role, you could tell because of the reaction he had with text line.

Well if the point was to get me to listen it backfired. I tuned out until he was fired. The Fan is a boy of a mess right now. I knows wish Sandy Clough would have stayed away to be honest.

Sandy Clough would have stayed away to be honest.

me too, but probably for different reasons. . . between 104.3 and altitude, tyler polumbus is about the only decent personality either of them has. . .

[Simple Jaded]

I like have Clough around, I've been listening to that ******* for decades.

Nate and Nalen and the best, imo.

The only time I like Clough is in his post-game show. His regular show is a grind for me.

Just found out Clough is back....oh effing joy. :rolleyes: Can't stand that condescending douchebag.

He made me appreciate Cecil Lammey. I didn't think that was possible!

Seriously though, I kind of like Cecil. Too bad he lost his show to Clough. Did they ever explain why Sandy was out so long? I'm just assuming he had a hissy fit after they got rid of Scott Hastings. He openly criticized the move on the radio. Was he sick?

From what I read it was money. Contract negotiations.

Well I'm with you on this either way. I can't stand Sandy's cocky and condescending attitude. He just talks over people and hangs up on them if he doesn't agree. Being in Denver since the 70's doesn't make you the be all end all on Broncos talk.

No wonder you're so jaded. :D

[Simple Jaded]

I can't stand Sandy's cocky and condescending attitude.

This is exactly why I can't suffer Lammey for very long, he treats his co-hosts like this too.

[Buff]

I want to like Lundy because he's sort of got a condescending, antagonistic shtick going, and I can appreciate that - but you get the feeling listening to him that he's just being earnest about it and can't help the fact that he's a raging d-bag. He's insufferable.

I've given up on local sports talk radio all together. Just not interested anymore.

Kreckman is/was the best.

Nalen was cool because he didn't give a shit - but after a while that got annoying because he was basically dead weight that Nate had to carry.

Clough is great for all the reasons people seem to dislike him. He's jaded and cynical and doesn't have time for all the idiot callers. Nor would I. I appreciate that about him. But it is annoying to be on the opposite side of an issue as him. Like 10+ years ago when I used to call in - he yelled at me over Brandon Marshall one day. I'm pretty sure in retrospect I was right - he was trying to defend Marshall acting petulant in camp because he'd been mistreated or something. But he probably had a point about McDaniels being a turd too.

That is why I like Clough for the after game shows, but not his regular shows. He does a great job with all the "sky is falling" callers when we win or lose. I remember last season some guy called in saying that us winning games so closely was a bad sign and I think he called him a brain stem and hung up on him. And like you said, I can appreciate it because he seems like he truly despises people which I can relate to sometimes. :lol:

I really miss Kreckman and Nalen when they were at their best, and Vic Lombardi remains one of my favorites. The morning show with Schelreth and Evans is ok sometimes, but I can't stand the rest of the lineup throughout the day for the most part. Big Al and DMac continue to annoy me the most. I used to like them enough, but I feel like they got too comfy. Plus I hate when I do tune in to get an update and its just Big Al talking about the latest impromptu vacation he went on for an hour while DMac cackles. I do like their camp interviews and I will listen more in the season, but I wish there were more options. The national shows are a joke for the most part when it comes to Broncos coverage even when they are doing good.

I remember when Osweiler was drafted. Nate Lundy was beside himself, saying that he did it for one year at ASU, and that he left when Erickson left because he knew he couldn't have another successful year without Dennis.

[MasterShake]

Brandon Stokley was on with Cecil Lammey yesterday at training camp. They had a really nice energy together, they would make a good morning team. They just sound like 2 dudes talking football, and Brandon keeps Cecil in check when he tries to get too technical with "scout speak".

I thought he worked alone.

That was a knock on Osweiler by just about everyone.

Lammey is like the biggest douchebag you'll ever meet - but in a sort of endearing non-threatening kind of way. Kind of like Guy Fieri.

He has total delusions of grandeur, no self awareness - thinks he's a big deal... But I still sort of like to listen to him talk fantasy sports and Broncos analysis.

My god he is like Guy Fieri. :lol:

I think I like him because though he can be douchey, you can tell he just geeks out about football. He actually sounds excited when he talks about it and he makes fun of Tom Brady a lot which is a plus. His fantasy football advice and Broncos coverage is always fun. He is also pretty self-deprecating when you meet him in person. I ran into him when he was still with 102.3 ESPN doing a remote on 16th Street Mall. Me and a coworker chatted with him a bit on his breaks and it seemed like he broke character for lack of a better term.

Plus I really like his "Don't Be That Guy" segments. I have to agree with most, such as "Don't be that guy that goes to an NFL game wearing a jersey of a team not playing in that game".

I really liked him for a week or two. I can live with the delusions of grandeur but man he's extremely repetitive. He says the same thing over and over and over. It feels like effective time filling but I get pretty annoyed with it now.

I can't stand the Schlereth show though. There just isn't anything about it that's good.

[Simple Jaded]

I thought he worked alone.

He's had co-hosts lately, basically told Ryan Edwards that he's an idiot for listening to OL when they say CJ Anderson misses a lot of holes. Had the balls to suggest that Edwards needs to ignore what actual players say because Lammey "charts plays" and is a "consultant" and watches "film, not YouTube scouting".

Dude is so thoroughly ******* full of himself, he's a draftnik and FF Geek that portrays himself as a legit member of the scouting community.

[Simple Jaded]

Dude brought his WR gloves to work to impress Stokley, so Douchey. Tell us how you scored 4 TD's in 8-Man State Championship, Cecil Bundy.

i did you a disservice-- you hate sandy for the exact same reasons i do. . . :D
