Kickin’ It with Kiz: Tiger Woods should put driver in bag and hire a chauffeur

Tiger Woods obviously has more money than sense at this point. He can afford to hire an Uber or a personal chauffeur, yet he continues to make poor choices behind the wheel and puts others at risk. It’s become a pattern.

Allison, doesn’t sugarcoat it

Kiz: In a span of a little more than 16 years, Woods has gone from the undisputed GOAT of golf to unsafe at any speed. He was ranked No. 1 in the world back on the Thanksgiving weekend of 2009, when Woods smashed his Cadillac SUV into a fire hydrant after an argument with his wife. Before rolling his Land Rover Friday, Woods had also been charged with DUI in Florida and nearly lost a leg after a high-speed wreck in California. He’s physically unable to play golf at a championship level and has become a menace on roads from coast to coast. Maybe it’s time we stop hoping Tiger will roam the fairways of Augusta National next month and start praying Woods is still alive on his next birthday. This crash was a cry for help.  

In a seven-game playoff series, I like the Nuggets’ chances against anybody in the NBA.

— Swaggy, eternal optimist

Kiz: As long as the Nuggets have Nikola Jokic on their side, they won’t go down in the playoffs without a fight. But harsh truth be told, this Denver team is not as talented as either Oklahoma City or San Antonio. And without a creative approach to remaking the roster during the offseason, Joker won’t win another championship ring.

DU hockey coach David Carle doesn’t need CU football coach Deion Sanders as the “wrong way” to build a champion in order for Carle’s approach to stand out as the “right way.” The Pioneers program already makes that case clearly. Kiz, there was no reason to bring Sanders down in your column to elevate Carle. He can stand on his own just fine.

— S.M., positive thinker

Kiz: In the era of name, image and likeness, everybody wants a quick fix. Being famous and getting face time on TV doesn’t count for much if you don’t know how to build a system for sustained success. New CU athletic director Fernando Lovo might be advised to take a drive down to Denver and study how the Pioneers raise banners in the brave, new crazy world of college sports.

My definition of a good season for the Rockies is being silly drunk by the sixth inning of a handful of games at Coors Field. And record-wise for them? Insignificant. The owners don’t care, so why should we?

— Adrian, Denver

Kiz: Word never mentioned in the same sentence as Rockies? Champs. Two words that define this organization: Party deck! This team is enough to drive a strong man to drink. All I ask: Please take the light rail home from Coors Field.

And today’s parting shot dreams of a parade in the Colorado Rockies’ future.

I say we host a parade in downtown Denver if the Rockies don’t lose 100.
