Klee blog: Who’s on Colorado sports’ presidential ticket?
David Zalubowski
You know Peyton Manning someday is running for president. Again the quarterback’s aw-shucks diplomacy was on display when he downplayed Tom Brady’s email snafu.
Brady-Manning in 2028? If Mr. Nutz is getting 9 percent of the vote, anything’s possible.
But this Instagram post by St. Louis defensive end William Hayes got me thinking: If St. Louis can have a presidential ticket, and the Rams are usually crummy, what would be Colorado’s? Here are three options that spring to mind. Feel free to add yours.
1. Elway-Helton: Their politics are appropriately aligned. (Were they discussing a platform at Dove Valley on Wednesday?) And the Toddfather can bring his horse, swinging the animal-rights vote.
2. Kroenke-Monfort: They won’t win, but campaign finance shouldn’t be an issue.
3. Franklin-Roy: Missy will be 33 in 2028. We’ll need an age waiver. But she’s already, and forever, America’s sweetheart. And the Avs’ coach already has the slogan down Pat: Why not us?
