Woody Paige: Broncos head coach interviewee Dan Quinn should address past, future hiring policies
The Broncos have a Quinn Quandary. Dan Quinn, the leader in the Broncos’ search for a new Broncos leader, will be interviewed Tuesday.

Woody Paige: Pat Bowlen’s daughter among possible Broncos future owners
Brittany Bowlen turns 32 Tuesday. During her lifetime the Broncos have played in five Super Bowls and won three.

Woody Paige: ‘What a waste’ by the Broncos. How GM George Paton can start cleaning up the mess.
Magician David Copperfield mysteriously caused various objects to vanish in a showroom at the MGM Grand resort Sunday afternoon.

Woody Paige: U.S. gymnasts show courageous mettle amid abuse scandal settlement
Although more than 500 sexually abused gymnasts have approved a $380 million settlement from the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, USA Gymnastics and, principally, their insurers this week, the most sordid, sick, sad sports scandal in American history certainly is not over.

Woody Paige: Full of wild stories, the Colorado Buffaloes could contend for Pac-12 title
The Colorado Buffaloes were scorned and scoffed at before the bizarre football season as the bottom-feeders of the Pac-12 Conference. Balderdash! In a Boulderdash of an opener, the Buffs flabbergasted the UCLA Bruins 48-42 Saturday night before a minuscule gathering of family and friends at Folsom Field, and a stunned national television audience. CU has…
