The Drive is on the road for today's "Football Friday". In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into the most anticipated week 1 game for the Broncos in a decade. How will Bo Nix look in week 1 after he struggled last year in his NFL debut? Will the Broncos run game be vastly improved from a season ago? Who has the biggest day on Sunday between the new additions to the offense in Engram, Dobbins and Harvey? What is more likely between a Sutton touchdown or a Bonitto sack?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Richie take a deeper look into Nik Bonitto as he and the Broncos agreed to a massive contract extension today. How do the guys feel about the high price the Broncos invested into Bonitto? Will this contract end up being a "steal" if Bonitto can turn into a top 3 pass rusher in the NFL? We look back at the night Bonitto was drafted and the videos of George Paton being surprised Bonitto was available when the Broncos drafted and the emotional call they shared that night. We hear from Bonitto for the first time since singing his contract and his thoughts on signing now and getting security instead of playing this season and potentially signing a larger contract. We react to the Broncos being favorites in 12 of their 17 games this season. Should Broncos Country be expecting 12 wins this season? We wrap up the show with summarizing all the topics from today in Denver sports. 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Richie cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the news of the day in Nik Bonitto and the Broncos agreeing on a massive contract extension.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Richie take a dive into Nik Bonitto as he and the Broncos agreed to a huge contract extension today. We go back to the night Bonitto was drafted and revisit the emotional calls between George Paton and Bonitto. Does this extension solidify Paton as a great GM and will be here for years to come? Besides Bonitto, who benefits most from this extension? Today's "Three Count" features previewing the first game of the NFL season in the Eagles and Cowboys game, Bill Belichick banning New England Patriot scouts from North Carolina practices, and after we got duped weeks ago by a fake tweet, Amari Cooper is officially retiring from the NFL. We go week by week and guess what the betting spread will be for the Broncos. How often will they be the favorite and how often will they be the underdog?

Happy Labor Day Colorado! In for Mike Evans, Brandon Stokley, and Mark Schlereth, are Danny Williams and Marcello Romano!  The guys kick off the second hour going back to the Nik Bonitto contract. What is a good blueprint for Bonitto's next few years? Would Micha Parsons on the Broncos have made them an immediate superbowl champion? What’s Trending today? An Army football player saves a life, after one weekend do we already have the college football catch of the year? The Rockies walked off the Cubs yesterday, and may have survived making history as the worst team in MLB history. Is there a superstar wide receiver on this Broncos team or do they need to look outside at some point for a big name? Could any of their rookies ascend to that caliber of receiver?   

Chad Andrus and John Davis are in for today's Labor Day edition of The Drive. In hour 4 of The Drive, Chad and John continue their conversation on Micah Parsons and the Packers. Where do the Packers stand within the NFC after the trade? How should Nik Bonitto be compensated in his contract extension with the Broncos? Do the Broncos have enough depth at pass rusher to not pay Bonitto? We preview the upcoming weekend in the NFL and pick our most intriguing matchups.

Next, Brett sat down and watched real college football on a Thursday night! Some of it was entertaining, and some of it was pretty flippin boring.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys debate if the Broncos will have/need a 1,000-yard rusher this season. We have news coming out of Indianapolis with the Colts announcing their starting quarterback, Daniel Jones. Have weeks 1 and 2 for the Broncos become “must-win” games? Zach compares Anthony Richardson and if he will be a similar draft bust to Paxton Lynch. The guys attempt to translate what Nik Bonitto’s cryptic message “plan c, iykyk” means. Will we see Bonitto and the Broncos come to an agreement on a contract extension before the season starts?

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley open the second hour hearing some trouble in paradise between Sean Payton’s list getting up to 17 and Bo’s problem with practice. Sean Payton told-all to Kay Adams about getting off to a fast start, the must-haves for a Super Bowl run, and Bo’s expectations. They discuss the depth across the roster. What’s Trending? Bonitto and Jameis break down a big play, Tom Brady with a stomach churning comparison, and the clown show in Dallas.  

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Phil and Richie recapping what they saw out at Broncos training camp today. The guys share about how hands on Sean Payton was today in coaching up the wide receivers. We compare and contrast the two Broncos quarterbacks from today’s practice. With Bo Nix having the starting quarterback job secured, has this unlocked Jarrett Stidham to play worry free and take risks? Is Tyler Badie on his way of earning the Broncos third running back position? We react to Nik Bonitto making the NFL’s top 100 list, coming in at number 38. Has this honor earned Bonitto even more money on his future contract extension with the Broncos?

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth kick off the fourth hour with Mike getting dumber by the second as they look for signs that the Broncos are ready to contend. They discuss if Bo is already the guy as they take their shots at the so-called draft experts. None of the big contract extensions for Sutton, Allen, or Bonitto happened and it has Mike worried; is it a cause for concern heading into the season? Mike, Stoke, and Stink wrap up the week telling us about the bigwigs (outside of FOX) that Stink’s been breaking bread with.  

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley open today’s show welcoming Mike back, airing grievances about his travel habits; do you need a day to recover from your vacation? Stoke tells a story about his first day in training camp back in 2012 as training camp 2025 begins today. The Chiefs may have helped the Broncos out with Nik Bonitto’s extension, the question is: Do the Broncos pull the trigger now or when Bonitto proves it? They are joined by our 9News Broncos Insider, Mike Klis to gauge the level of optimism in Broncos Country, get some contract updates, and his three biggest storylines in training camp.
