The guys retell a story Clinton Portis shared on the show yesterday, discuss the leadership for the Broncos and return to the starting quarterback for week 1 conversation. Zach and Phil react to CBS Sports’ list of the top 100 players in the NFL, where did the top Broncos land on the list? Could we see Sheduer Sanders lining up against the Broncos twice a year in the future?

Hour 2 of The Drive revisits their conversation with Clinton Portis and one specific quote from Portis. Should the Broncos make Nix earn his spot as the starter? Our “Three Count” today includes odds for Jokic to get his 4th MVP, is it worth betting on? When do the Broncos arrive for training camp? And a record-breaking audience for a WNBA game. We finish up the hour with a talk about the 300-pound decision the Broncos must make soon.

Hour 3 of The Drive starts off with Rockies talk and asks the question if Kris Bryant is becoming a villain within Denver. Why the guys wouldn’t mind seeing Rockies fans show some passion towards Bryant. Zach pivots the conversation to a podcast he recently listened to about how our food is processed. After the Celtics finished winning the NBA Finals last night, we look at the playoffs as a whole and the missed opportunity by the Nuggets. How is Denver feeling after no longer being defending champions?

Hour 4 of The Drive begins with the guys breaking down Clinton Portis’ thoughts on Bo Nix and the culture of the Broncos. How much does the locker room have a say in who will be the Broncos starting QB in week 1? After some quotes from Bill O’Brien came out on O’Brien balancing being a head coach and GM, how should Sean Payton go about fulfilling both roles? Zach and Phil go over CBS Sports’ list of the top 100 players in the NFL, what top names from the division were listed? How many Broncos were on the list? We wrap up the show previewing tonight’s game between the Oilers and Panthers.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with previewing tonight’s NBA Finals game with Stokley and Josh. Another story is coming out of Boulder, will there ever be a week without a distraction for CU football?

Hour 2 of The Drive discusses the Broncos’ title they gained after missing the playoffs for an eighth consecutive season. What steps got us to this point? How do the Broncos get back on track? Former Broncos, Clinton Portis joins the show to breakdown his time and Denver and much more. We react to a great interview with Portis and a story he shared with the guys. Today’s “Three Count” includes Charles Barkley announcing his retirement and could we see a former Buff join the USA Olympic team? Courtland Sutton came out and said he wants to be a ring of famer in Denver, which of his teammates said they have the same aspiration?

Is there a narrative around Javonte Williams that needs to be put to bed? Will we see “rookie year” Javonte this season? How does the running back room shake out after training camp?

Hour 4 of The Drive revisits their conversation with former Broncos, Clinton Portis. Portis shares a very funny story about almost not being able to play in his most memorable game of his career with the Broncos. Do the Broncos have the veteran leadership necessary? The guys continue their conversation about Clinton Portis, how he was traded and what could have been if he remained a Bronco. We wrap up the show with predictions for tonight’s game of the NBA Finals and what we are looking for in the game.
