Woody Paige: It’s a bird, it’s a plane … it’s ADELMAN
To the list of superheroes Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Aquaman and even Ant-Man add one more name. Disguised as a mild-mannered, soft-spoken, good-natured, team-centric interim placeholder the meek geek really can leap tall centers for a single rebound, is faster than a speeding shooting guard and is more powerful than Kings, Grizzlies, Rockets, Clippers and the…

Broncos barter their way to success | Woody Paige
The Broncos deserve a grade “A’’ for creativity, shrewdness, guile and horse-trading, including the drafting of a converted quarterback, a converted rugby player, a converted basketball player, but not converted pickleball or piccolo players. And they got their No. 1 player, who concentrated on cornerback. George Paton and Sean Payton pulled off innovative deals involving…

Woody Paige: Nuggets grab advantage, roll to Game 1 victory
In a spine-tingling, breath-taking, heart-pounding phenomenon playoff performance, the Nuggets ultimately were pure gold Saturday. Nugs got the win at The Ball over the Clippers in overtime in Game 1, 112-110. It was a spectacular series start.

Woody Paige: Wow … Nuggets among playoff hopefuls in the wild West
Welcome to the wild, wild, weird, wacky, wicked, wondrous, wide-open West in the NBA where 10 teams are vying for seven playoff or play-in positions Sunday. Wow! The Nuggets are pursuing nirvana Sunday in Houston. They could conclude the regular season at 4, 5, 6 or 7. If they win over the second-seeded Rockets the…

Woody Paige: What are Rox to do? Go full in on prospects and full out with the dead weight
Rox Bottom must go Full Monty. The Rockies’ season is all but over just after beginning. The players showed up at Coors Field Saturday afternoon with baseball’s second worst record and not realizing that during the club’s history only three MLB teams who started the season with 1-6 marks recovered to reach the postseason. Wait…

Woody Paige: Avs, Nuggets could bring Denver twin titles
Eureka! This Dusty Ol’ Cowtown of Denver, Colorado, has the best betting odds of becoming the first city ever to win both the NBA and NHL championships in the same year since the NBA and I were born. It is a foregone conclusion that the Nuggetlanche duo will play in the two league’s postseasons for…

Woody Paige: Please welcome the ‘Orange Uncrushables’
The Broncos’ defense has earned a new name – Orange Uncrushables. And because of the determined Denver defense, the Broncos have a pellucid path to the playoffs. With or without a victory in Baltimore on Sunday the Broncos will finish the season 10-6 and reach the postseason for the first time since winning Super Bowl…

Woody Paige: Denver Broncos’ struggling tight end unit is the worst in the NFL
The two most recent and bizarre concealed secrets at Broncos headquarters concerned the shooting of wide receiver Josh Reynolds at 3 a.m. Oct. 18 in an incident near a strip and marijuana joint, and the rotten-to-the-corps tight-ends unit that is worst in the NFL. An outlier would wonder why the 42 alleged Broncos insiders didn’t…

Woody Paige: Now defensive Buffs are no bluff
The Buffs were not bluffing Saturday afternoon in Tucson. The University of Colorado football defense allowed the fewest points (7) in a road game since late October of 2016. Then, the Buffaloes won at Stanford 10-5, and that season was also their last bowl appearance in a non pandemic-shortened season. Remember the Alamo. That also…

Woody Paige: Offensively offensive Broncos need to muster a lot more points
Offense intended. The Broncos’ offense in the first half of games is offensive. In the first six weeks of the NFL season the Sean Payton offense scored just two touchdowns while being shut out of the end zone during 11 of 12 quarters before the interlude. This is the most abhorrent production since the first…
