Kickin’ it with Kiz: Bo Nix vs Shedeur Sanders as QB of your NFL team? It’s not close.
Would I rather have Bo Nix or Shedeur Sanders as the quarterback of my NFL team for the next 10 years? Sanders’ ceiling is higher. Nix has a higher floor. Both quarterbacks are accurate and good leaders. Sanders should be close to or better than C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans. But I’d rather bet…

Mark Kiszla: Unlike last year, these 6-5 Broncos are for real, instead of a fraud waiting to be revealed
After their loudest, most lopsided victory at home since some dude named Peyton Manning played quarterback, you better Bo-lieve the Broncos are H-O-T-T-O-G-O for the NFL playoffs. With Atlanta in town, Denver beat the F out of the Alcons 38-6 Sunday. A warm-fuzzy rout that felt like Colorado sunshine on their shoulders pushed the Broncos’…

Mark Kiszla: Hand CU star Travis Hunter the Heisman! Anyone with eyes can see the race for the trophy is over.
BOULDER – The Heisman brunch with Travis Hunter was an all-you-can-eat buffet of scrumptious plays that reminded us why no sane voter could give the trophy to anybody else. “We don’t need to give no message to Heisman voters that are undecided.

Kickin’ it with Kiz: Beating Patrick Mahomes in his own backyard is Bo Nix’s first big chance to prove he’s a franchise quarterback
Kiz, when analyzing the Broncos’ chances of beating the Chiefs, it’s simply put: It’s Bo Nix versus Patrick Mahomes. Toss in Sean Payton versus Andy Reid, and I’m a Broncos fan, but the Chiefs will win 23-14. – Jim, proud bleacher bum Kiz: Nix won’t ever be fitted for the gold jacket that’s already hanging in…

Mark Kiszla: Can CU Buffs handle success, much less the food fight Deion Sanders anticipates at Texas Tech?
BOULDER – If the CU Buffs want the whole enchilada, they can’t afford to stumble and fumble the tortilla. With their hearts set on a late-season run at the Big 12 Conference championship game, the Buffs play Saturday deep in the heart of Texas, and Deion Sanders will have his head on a swivel, aware…

Mark Kiszla: Broncos burned so badly in 41-10 loss to Baltimore it could send their season up in flames
A single 41-10 defeat can send an NFL season down, down, down in a ring of fire.

Mark Kiszla: What Travis Hunter needs more than TDs or INTs to win the Heisman is for Buffs to just win, baby
CU Buffs wunderkind Travis Hunter is the best player in college football, but the only solid path for him to win the Heisman Trophy in New York runs through Jerry World in Big D. Without having to brag, Hunter declared himself the rarest of football unicorns when dropped by the sets of both ESPN’s “College…

Mark Kiszla: For Broncos to be recognized as legit championship defense, they need to knock King Henry on his … crown
When the Broncos hop a flight to Baltimore, they’ll be traveling in a time machine back to the 1970s. And waiting for them there will be big, bad King Henry. Buckle up. This one’s gonna hurt. The Denver defense has not only made some noise, but made the Broncos one of the happier surprises of…
