huh. . . he was arguably my favorite, outside of chad brown. . . go figure. . . probably because he was calm, and was never a hyperbolic shock jock like dmac and merilatt, who intentionally say outrageously dumb shit just because they know it will get a reaction. . . like GEM, i loved nalen. . . and i typically enjoy stokely. . . orlando franklin, OTOH, is just painful to listen to. . .

When they have Merilatt on, I want to slam my head into a 2 ton slice of concrete. The guy is a friggen moron...not even a shock jock, his takes are just so stupid they can't even be considered as being made for shock value.

I liked Polumbus, seemed he was a good opposite to Dmac....but I've heard Wolfe on a few podcasts and he's friggen awesome!!! He's a fantastic follow on twitter as well.

You must really hate yourself. Sorry, that must suck. Thoughts and prayers.

Don’t use the Bible and the father and prayers in vain! Grrrr

On September 18, former Denver Bronco-turned-broadcaster Tyler Polumbus announced that his contract hadn't been renewed with sports-radio station 104.3 The Fan, ending his first-rate stint as co-host of weekday afternoon staple The Drive with Best of Denver winner Darren "D-Mac" McKee. Asked for details the next day, a source close to the outlet would only say that management had been presented with "a unique opportunity" to obtain the services of a notable new partner for D-Mac.

During the final hour of The Drive yesterday, October 3, that new co-host was introduced: Derek Wolfe, one of the most outsized personalities on the Broncos squad that won Super Bowl 50. Wolfe is also a fan favorite, and while he spent his last few years on the field as a member of the Baltimore Ravens, he returned to Denver in July to retire as a Bronco.

Listening to Wolfe on his first go round yesterday, it's pretty obvious that can't stand Elway. He should be a good listen for a while, especially while he's still close to some players in the locker room.

Oh no. Our resident Tel yejudah alum just got a big mad! J/k bruv, you are accepted here. Fr. But don't be so frivolous with your word, even online like this.

I'm not really interested in breaking in a new green drive time co-host headed into week 5. What was 104.3 the fan doing during the preseason?

He became available, then they saw his popularity on the podcasts hw was doing.

A lot of people were speculating that he was dismissed because he jacked Stokley's phone on air and guessed the password (1414). It was really funny listening to it. But, that seems unlikely to me.

Not a fan of Ben Allbright for all the reasons you all mentioned.

I listen via podcast since I'm not local, but it's a nice way to avoid commercials. I always listen to Mike and Mark every morning--they are really good. I think Mark has the best takes of anyone on the Fan. But, my favorite guy to listen to is under the radar--Nate Jackson! Chad and Big-O not as good, but I think Nate carries that show. And then Stoke and Zach are good, but they've been irritating me a bit with Zach angry-yelling into the microphone after this bad start to the season. I probably listen to a good 5 hours of the fan each day--not healthy, but enjoyable on my walks to and from work, in my office, and drinking my morning coffee.

Adding Mase was a huge get for them as well.

I'll take ya'll up on Derek Wolff, and give him a shot. After listening to his first show, I was just so unimpressed. He didn't seem to know much about the team or the players on the team. But I'll give him another shot.

I have had a bit of a let down on Wolfe....he kind of comes off as a dumb meathead. That's just my opinion. Tyler was much better articulated and thoughts put together intelligently.

This is my exact take. I could maybe forgive his lack of radio knowledge if he had really good takes or was funny or something -- but I think he's just been terrible... He clearly doesn't really understand radio cues and when DMac is trying to tee him up to give a take. He leaves him hanging so often by giving like a one sentence answer, or just giving some non-answer like "that would be a good question for coach."

Which I think he'll get better at - but then his takes are bad on top of that... Doesn't really add any insight or nuance. Kind of like Big Al but maybe worse because he doesn't have any redeeming qualities like being a super homer with a fun laugh.
