Woody Paige: D.T.’s spirit certainly present at Mile High in Broncos’ impeccable victory
Demaryius Antwon Thomas was not The Missing Man. D.T.’s heart and soul, everlasting smile and extraordinary talent and attitude, and his love for family, faith, football and fans were present Sunday at Mile High stadium as the Broncos paid tribute to and played their absolute best for one of their own and an all-time glorious…

Woody Paige: Broncos ownership saga inches to resolution
The Broncos’ byzantine process to transfer ownership and shift power could begin in exactly one month. Including the recent interest shown by a Colorado entity, the franchise should have a minimum of seven bidders/buyers, according to reliable sources associated with the NFL, others closely aligned to the Broncos, another who has spoken privately with the…

Woody Paige: 49ers offensive coordinator should be Broncos next head coach
Paradoxically, an ostensible candidate for Broncos head coach in 2022 would be Josh McDaniels. Except, the Patriots’ offensive coordinator already had the job and failed here. The Broncos obviously are not going there. An NFL offensive coordinator with a similar name and a history in Denver and with the Broncos should be considered. Mike McDaniel…

Woody Paige: Broncos, Chiefs should apologize for disgraceful performance
Chiefs-Broncos was rather reminiscent of a 1922 NFL 7-6 game between the Columbus Panhandles and the Toledo Maroons. The films of Sunday night’s disgrace will be burned instead of being kept in the NFL archives. The flex became a flummox. That was The Sordid Pity in Kansas City. Both the Broncos and the Chiefs should…

Woody Paige: Broncos must end ‘Curse of Kansas City Chiefs’
The Bowlen Family Trust does not own the Broncos. The Chiefs do. If the Broncos want to be something rather than nothing, they must end The Curse of the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday night. There is a conduit. The Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium is the Broncos’ Error-Headed Stadium. Not only have the Chiefs won 11 consecutive…

Woody Paige: Broncos’ dominating performance against Chargers shows good draft could end up great
You young’uns who are Broncos fanatics may look back on the 100th anniversary of the franchise in 2060 and tell your grandkids: “Listen to this old man. Our team has had a few really good drafts over the years, but I’m here to say none compares to that Broncos bunch way back when.’’ I won’t…

Woody Paige: Former Bronco and member of the “No-Fly-Zone,” Chris Harris Jr. returns to town as member of Chargers
Don’t let it be forgot that once there was a spot, for one brief shining time that was known as the No-Fly Zone. Wot! “That was the best ever,’’ Chris Harris Jr. says. The Broncos’ defense of the Super Bowl 50 season forever shall be remembered as one of the NFL’s five most spectacular with…

Woody Paige: Be thankful, and hopeful, for the Colorado Rapids
Be thankful, and hopeful, Thursday for the Colorado Rapids. The true-life equivalent of fictional AFC Richmond, Ted Lasso’s team, is playing in the first Major League Soccer Thanksgiving Game with a genuine chance of advancing to the Western Conference Finals and ultimately winning the MLS championship Cup. Commerce City FC, or the Rapids, is the…

Woody Paige: George Paton is the best of NFL’s new GMs, but he needs to prove himself next season
Of the seven new NFL general managers in 2021, the Broncos’ George Paton and the Panthers’ Scott Fitterer are experiencing the best seasons. But “best’’ is comparative. The other five are languishing in the Game of Throes. Their teams have a combined record of 10-37-1. Together, the “best’’ are 10-10. Brad Holmes’ Lions haven’t won…

Woody Paige: For the Broncos, is it mission possible?
After the hiatus, all the Broncos must do to finish first in the AFC West, o ye of little faith, is win their final seven games. They’ve triumphed in at least seven in a row in five seasons. And if the Broncos achieve the remarkable feat, they will reach the franchise’s 500th regular-season victory. From…
