The Drive | Hour 1 | 06.13.25

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil discussing yesterday’s 100 holes of golf for Zach. Zach shares a funny story about his interaction with former Bronco Justin Simmons. Are we sure Courtland Sutton and the Broncos are on the right track to signing a contract extension? Zach shares why he believes there might be a snag in contract talks and maybe that’s why Sutton hasn’t spoken to the media recently. We react to Russell Westbrook declining his player option with the Nuggets for next season. Should the Nuggets circle back and give him a higher value contract? Is Jalen Pickett capable of stepping into the backup point guard role? Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar both made 1st team in the NHL, but this honor feel hollow with the lack of playoff success? Who is the best “defender” in Denver between Cale Makar and Pat Surtain?
