Woody Paige: Shohei Ohtani can show the way with 100-plus in the Home Run Derby
Get prime for Sho Time! They could be dancing in the streets of Takayama, Denver’s sister city in Japan. Shohei Ohtani is coming to Colorado and could accomplish the Kessaku (masterpiece) by winning the Home Run Derby, then the All-Star Game as a pitcher and a hitter — and the MVP trophy. Perhaps he should play…

Woody Paige: This isn’t the Denver Broncos’ first rodeo with dueling quarterbacks
The Duel at Dove Valley has paused until July 31, but The Great Debate about Drew Lock/Teddy Bridgewater continues incessantly. And the meaningful matters involving Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson don’t disappear. If four quarterbacks are in the discussion, that quandary wrapped in a predicament shrouded in a dilemma means that the Broncos have no…

Woody Paige: Broncos’ Bridgewater was playing well last season before injury
Teddy Bridgewater has bridged from replacing one Drew in September 2019 to trying to displace another Drew in September 2021. All the while Teddy Football goes to work as a quarterback “with a smile on my face.’’ But Bridgewater had a fearful frown on Nov. 15. In between Drews, he was the starter for the…

Woody Paige: Denver Nuggets played with fervor after MVP Nikola Jokic got tossed
The Nuggets did not crawl off the court and out of the playoff on their bellies. They played their guts out. With the league MVP out. In defeat, the Nuggets held their heads (a mile) high and made themselves and Coloradans proud. They lost the game, but not their dignity. The Nuggets actually were spirited…

Miracles happen, and the Denver Nuggets need several | Woody Paige
Can the Nuggets rise from the ashes like the mythical Egyptian Phoenix with golden plumage and conquer Phoenix? I’ve witnessed miracles. Not the Old Testament parting-of-the-Red-Sea kind. Or Our Lady of Guadalupe, although I visited the basilica in Mexico City. Woody Paige: Who must leave after Avalanche’s latest early playoff exit? But, among the thousands…

Woody Paige: Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone lost Game 2
Michael Malone should be ashamed. Perhaps he ought to put on a Bozo suit and suspend himself for a game. At the very least, if he’s not intending to coach ‘em up, Malone has to get mad and ugly, get a technical and another, get ejected, get out of the arena and allow his second…

Woody Paige: Avs coach Bednar must make some changes and team, fans must deliver
The Avalanche comes back to Home Sweat Home. But if the Colorado Blade Runners don’t rediscover their perspiration and inspiration Tuesday night, they’ll confront expiration in Game 6 in Las Vegas. This could be the finishing Jam at The Jar. On the positive side, the Avalanche have won 13 consecutive home games, including the past…

Woody Paige: Colorado’s NBA and NHL coaches tough on team amid success
Based on how Michael Malone and Jared Bednar described the dreadful Nuggets and the appalling Avalanche after recent playoff defeats, they have promising careers as sports columnists for The Denver/Colorado Springs Gazette. Messrs. Klee and Paige may be forced to become a sorcerer’s apprentice and a plumber’s helper. The coaches were more critical of their…

Woody Paige: The Knights had no answer for Avs’ big shots, other than cheap shots
The Big Shots bashed the cheap shots. 7UP. One down. When does the next series start? With the Top Line of Nate MacKinnon, Gabe Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen scoring five goals and contributing on three assists for the Avalanche, the Lost Vegas Knights, who seemed to be playing in white satin, were plowed under in…

Woody Paige: Game most Nuggets fans could see turns out to be a horror show
KSE — Kroenke Stupidity & Embarrassment — blacked out the wrong Nuggets game. (And here’s a nugget: Millions of Coloradans will be prohibited by KSE from viewing Game 5 on TV, either.) The Trail Blazers’ blowout-walkover vs. the Nuggets Saturday afternoon should have been broadcast on the World Fishing Network, also owned by KSE, or belonged on…
