Mark Kiszla: Dick Monfort hired Paul DePodesta as baseball nanny for his sons
As much as the wretched Rockies would like us to believe Paul DePodesta is a ninja tasked with taking down the L.A. Dodgers’ evil empire, the truth is far less ambitious and not nearly so glamorous.

Mark Kiszla: How the heck did odd couple of Sean Payton and George Paton become brothers in orange?
We expected Sean Payton and George Paton to be frenemies. We were wrong.
