Woody Paige: Colorado Rockies sink to new low with second-worst MLB trade of all time
Where have you gone, Nolan Arenado? Our Cowtown turns its woeful eyes to you. In the Fleece of the Millennium the Rockheads gave the Great and Powerful Arenado and $50 million to the Cardinals for The Bums of Summer. Dick and The Lamebrain must be inducted immediately into the Baseball Hall of Sham. The worst…

Woody Paige: Vic Fangio will coach the Denver Broncos next season, but he needs help
Vic Fangio will survive the Broncos’ Curse of the Second-Season Coaches. He won’t be branded indelibly in franchise folklore as the sixth coach, and third consecutive, to fade away before the third year in Denver. Although the locals are the only team in the NFL without a permanent owner, the Broncos’ chief custodians Joe Ellis…

Woody Paige: Denver’s task now is undesirable, but it’s needed for a better 2021
Tank to be rank. The last thing the Broncos should do in this horrific 2020 is the one thing the Broncos don’t want to do to end the year. The Broncos MUST lose to the Raiders on Sunday in the season finale. A defeat will be critical to 2021. After the latest runner-up prize was…

Woody Paige: John Elway deserves a statue, but current job future appears shaky
A statue of John Elway, the Duke of Denver, should be considered as a replacement for Blucifer, the demonic horse, at the entrance to Denver International Airport. The Magnificent 7 signifies John’s retired jersey number and the seven Super Bowls he principally has been responsible for as a Hall of Fame quarterback and the Broncos’…

Woody Paige: Why the Broncos didn’t draft Josh Allen is anyone’s guess now
Josh Allen was the Broncos’ worst possible Nightmare Before Christmas. The Bills’ super-sensational quarterback got his revenge again against the Broncos, and the ex-Wyoming Cowboy remains unbeaten (6-0) in games in Colorado. It was if Josh were a kid home alone vs. Harry and Marv. Allen threw and ran for six touchdowns. Two of those…

Woody Paige: Former Denver GMs Pierre Lacroix, Carl Scheer worthy of fame and love
I loved Pierre Lacroix and Carl Scheer. Strange, strong word for a cold, callous columnist to type in bold face about a couple of general managers. GMs and sportswriters coalesce and coexist like Burr and Hamilton, Kennedy and Khrushchev, Dr. Peter Venkman and Slimer. General managers believe that sports scribes are incompetent ne’er-do-wells who don’t know…

Woody Paige: Denver Broncos could be sold but no perfect match looms
When Edgar Kaiser Jr. purchased the Broncos in February 1981, for $29 million, Phipps brothers Gerald and Allan demanded one principal provision in the contract. The football franchise couldn’t be resold to Colorado’s wealthiest man — Marvin Davis. The oil and gas exploration magnate had fleeced the Phipps family on a mansion and a massive piece…

Woody Paige: Who will emerge owning the Denver Broncos amid the Bickering Bowlens
Attention, Broncos zealots, mediarites and the Bowlen brood and board: Be careful what you wish for, biblical Proverbs and Aesop’s Fables cautioned, because you might get it. You could be gored by a new owner of the Broncos who is the next Daniel Snyder, James Dolan or Eugene Melnyk — three men you wouldn’t want in…

Woody Paige: Denver Broncos win one for ailing Floyd Little
Give thanks to and prayers for “Franchise.’’ The Broncos won one Sunday for Floyd Douglas Little, No. 44 in your program and No. 1 in our hearts. Little is the Big Man in Denver sports history. Born in the war on the Fourth of July of 1942, Little would become one of the greatest college…
