“TUESDAYS WITH EDDIE MAC” RETURNS ON 87.7 FM “THE TICKET”

Former Denver Bronco Back for Second Year of Popular Show Sponsored by Red Robin Gourmet Burgers

DENVER—Former Denver Broncos great Ed McCaffrey returns to the Denver airwaves on Tuesday, Aug. 17 for the second year of his popular show “Tuesdays with Eddie Mac” sponsored by Red Robin Gourmet Burgers.

McCaffrey’s show will air each Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. on 87.7 FM “The Ticket” on the Vic and Gary show, co-hosted by Vic Lombardi and Gary Miller of CBS4 Sports. The trio will break down all the action in the NFL and with the hometown Denver Broncos, and provide fans Ed’s unique take from the players’ perspective.

McCaffrey was widely respected for his toughness and team-first attitude throughout his 13-year NFL career, as well as his ability to dissect for fans what they are seeing on the field and articulate the story behind it.

A fan favorite during his nine seasons in Denver (1995-2003), McCaffrey has maintained an active presence in the Colorado community as company pitchman, corporate and event speaker and host of The Ed McCaffrey Football Camps. He remains extremely popular with the region’s sports fans and has continued to support the community through The McCaffrey Family Foundation.

“Vic and Gary” airs Monday through Friday from 7-9 a.m. on 87.7 “The Ticket” and features two of the most recognizable authorities on sports in Colorado. CBS4’s Lombardi and Miller have earned the respect of players, coaches, fans and fellow members of the media for their straightforward, intelligent and entertaining approach to their reporting and commentary.

Ed McCaffrey is represented by ProLink Sports, LLC, a full-service athlete representation firm specializing in image management, public relations, community outreach, media training and media placement for professional athletes.

ProLink Sports Announces "The Ed McCaffrey Show"

ProLink Sports announced today it has arranged a sponsorship agreement between Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and retired Denver Broncos great Ed McCaffrey for "The Ed McCaffrey Show" on ESPN Radio 1600 in Denver.

The show will debut Tuesday, Aug. 18 at 8:30 a.m. and continue every Tuesday throughout the 2009 NFL season to break down and analyze the stories fans are talking about surrounding the Denver Broncos and the NFL. One of the most popular and respected members of Denver's 1997 and '98 Super Bowl champion teams, McCaffrey will bring his unique insight and expertise to the Colorado radio airwaves for the first time on a regular basis since retiring from the NFL in 2004.
McCaffrey and his family have maintained a strong presence in the local community through their work with The McCaffrey Family Foundation, the eight-year run of the Ed McCaffrey Football Camp and Ed's role as TV pitch man for prominent local companies.

The "Ed McCaffrey Show" will be part of "The Sports Insiders," hosted by Vic Lombardi and Gary Miller of CBS4 Denver, which airs weekdays from 7-9 a.m. "The Sports Insiders," which launched July 13 on ESPN Radio 1600 has quickly made a significant impact on the Denver-area radio scene with an outstanding roll call of live guests and unique "insider" analysis. In addition to its delivery on AM 1600, a live video stream of the show can be found at www.viclombardi.com.

"The Ed McCaffrey Show sponsored by Red Robin Gourmet Burgers" will only enhance the strong start for the show in what has recently become a more competitive market for live, local sports talk.

Thanks to the fine folks at Greenwood Village, Colo.-based Red Robin for joining us as partners in this exciting new venture.
