In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to break down Deion Sanders' press conference from yesterday. We hear about whether his lawsuits will be a distraction to the team, Shilo Sanders' lawsuit, and the Buffs' offensive line. Is Deion Sanders' seat getting warm in Boulder, especially if they cannot win this season? We pivot to the Broncos and react to Bill Barnwell's article in which he predicts the Broncos to regress. We look back at Barnwell's impressive history when predicting teams to regress or improve. What is the most important game on the schedule for the Broncos to avoid a decline? Today's "Three Count" includes the Nuggets being tied with the Rockets for 4th/5th in an ESPN poll on who will win the Western Conference, the wheels coming off for the Rockies as they lose their 7th straight game, and Dolly Parton passing away. Would it be a "red flag" if Cale Makar doesn't sign an 8-year contract with the Avalanche this offseason? Could Makar signing for the maximum amount of money possible cause a disturbance in the Avs locker room?
