Woody Paige: The bonds that make Orediggers No. 1 in the nation
Colorado School of Mines: CAN YOU DIG IT? The Nerds are No. 1 in the nation.

Woody Paige: Will Embiid visit Nuggets trophy while in Colorado?
Fort Collins is as near to the NBA championship Larry O’Brien Trophy as Joel Embiid ever gets with the 76ers. The league’s preeminent prize was on display 65 miles from the center’s team when Philadelphia arrived at the Colorado State campus and Moby Arena.

Woody Paige: Broncos save their season in the Windy City
The Broncos would save their season because Duh Bears’ dumb asinine acts gave them the victory Sunday. No wonder the Bad-Blues Bears have lost 14 in a row. Chicago Hopeless.

Woody Paige: Rockies under a mound of criticism after loss No. 100
Contrastive to what Shakespeare claimed Marc Antony said at Julius Caesar’s funeral, I come neither to bury the Rockies nor praise them. The Rox tried hard. The players, the coaches and the manager just aren’t able. They will conclude the franchise’s celebrated 30th year with 100-plus defeats for the first time and go quietly into…
