Woody Paige: Broncos, Payton made the right call hiring Davis Webb
Sean Payton would rather give up the Golden Jubilee 775-carat diamond than that Cheesecake Factory massive menu-sized offensive game plan sheet he totes on the sideline. Diamonds are forever, though.

Woody Paige: Without McMillian’s pick, Broncos wouldn’t be a game away from Super Bowl LX
He has an apostrophe in his name, a hyphen in his nickname, larceny in his veins, aggressive defense in his game and an exclamation mark for his newly discovered fame. Ja’Quan “J-Mac” McMillian And The Immaculate Interception! A T-shirt is available. McMillian could be a game-changer and game-saver again Sunday when the unfavored and underappreciated…
