Woody Paige: Broncos must shed their lackluster effort
A Broncos’ beatdown to the Cincinnati Cheaps Monday night would be unforgettable and unforgivable. A loss to the Philadelphia champs won’t get the deed done. And with a defeat to either or both of the New York/New Jersey chumps, Denver can fuhgeddaboudit. A week ago, a Simpleton Simon in a sports show said…

Woody Paige: Words can’t express how bad the Rockies have become … or could they?
The RoxBottom Blake Street Bums will be done for, destroyed, devastated and the disgraceful dead Friday. Thank heavens, Galarraga and the 162nd last game. In five seasons, the foolish, frightful, ferocious, foul franchise will finish with more than 500 failures. “We are No. 30 and have a party deck’’ should be team slogan. The Mortified…

Woody Paige: It’s time for coach Payton to turn over offensive play-calling duties
Ergo, ego must be let go. Sean Payton should relinquish his ruling role as offensive play-caller to Davis Webb and concentrate on being Broncos brain trust head coach. One of Payton’s closest friends told me last week that the coach “wants to do it all instead of sharing the load bearing, and that is not…

Woody Paige: The 2025 NFL season kicks off with the Denver Broncos far closer to their heights than their depths
The Broncos will play their 1,001st regular-season game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Have a ball. Dissimilar to Broncos first general manager Dean Griffing 6½ decades ago, current GM George Paton will not be scrumming in the stadium’s south stands section for footballs kicked into the end zone seats. Several of the 75,125 fans in…

Woody Paige: Broncos should be smiling high this season
Smile High, Denver. This Dusty Old Broncos Town has its most outstanding football team in 10 years. With a Horse Force defense the Broncos will win at least 11 games and at least one playoff game for the first time since the 2015 season and Super Bowl 50. That’s a guarantee. The Broncos are so…

Woody Paige: Ignore first look at ‘Bonix’; his time is coming
The Broncos’ starting quarterback played a bit and a whit of just beyond a quarter Saturday night and looked a lot more like Paxton Lynch than Peyton Manning, or rather as Russell Wilson and Zach Wilson. He threw short, long, off, outside and away and even was called for on a ludicrous intentional grounding that…

Woody Paige: Broncos coach Sean Payton pursuing ‘goals and dreams’ with latest version of Broncos
Patrick Sean Payton just went all Ralph Waldo Emerson on the Broncos. Who knew he is emulating a 19th century-type essayist? “We can write down our goals and dreams, and we can recite them, and then you have to live them,” Payton philosophized to the press. Sean has become more folksy, affable and cheerful this…

Woody Paige: Holmes, Watson and Jones head up myriad of offseason moves for Nuggets
No split, Sherlock Holmes and Watson are on the case now. Get a clue. And along comes Jones. DaRon Holmes has rediscovered the beauty of basketball, and Peyton Watson is a player preparing like a panther on the prowl. The preponderance of Nuggets’ off-season actions and reactions have centered around center Jonas Valanciunas coming and…
