Woody Paige: Broncos are deplorable in loss to Eagles
Flush Gordon fumbled, and Teddy Bridgequarterback futilely watched his future fly past as the Broncos were undone by Slay The Dragon Sunday. Momentum morphed into retrogression. One week the Broncos score 30 points, then permit 30 the next. One play at the end of the third quarter seemed to summarize the Broncos’ season and the…

Woody Paige: Broncos have Colorado’s most famous Kenny outside South Park
Kenneth Kim Young has the most victories in the NFL this season for a player not with the Cardinals. As a starting linebacker he has won eight games, six with the Rams and two with the Broncos, and Young’s personal record can climb to 9-1 Sunday. He has become Colorado’s most famous Kenny outside South…

Woody Paige: Nikola Jokic can’t be doing Stupid Human Tricks or taking the bait
Who you got in Wrestlemania 38 – the Uso tag team twins, the Jonas Brothers, the Morris twins or the Jokic Bros.? Nikola Jokic must be aware he is the reigning MVP in the NBA, not the UFC. The Joker deserves a suspension for his raw, excessive retaliation Monday night. Basketball’s Best Big will have…

Woody Paige: Broncos are back in the saddle after dominating the Cowboys
On the day the Earth stood still, the Broncos would ride ‘em Cowboys. Denver, not Dallas, is Big D, as in Domination. Vengeance for Super Bowl XII is yours, Broncos. Jerry Jones doesn’t own the Cowboys. The Broncos do – with their seventh consecutive victory over Little D in games dating to 1995. And if…

Woody Paige: Here’s what the Broncos should be doing with Drew Lock sooner than later
Corral is OK. Will Matt Corral become another NFL quarterback from Ole Miss in the tradition of Archie and Eli Manning? Or possibly a Broncos quarterback from the University of Mississippi like Chad “A Rebel Without A Clue’’ Kelly or Norris Weese? Perhaps a Broncos’ could-have-been QB out of the state where Dak Prescott played…

Woody Paige: Von Miller trade ‘right for both teams,’ with Rams going somewhere, Broncos nowhere
Von Miller is dancing with the stars again in Los Angeles. The Broncos’ erstwhile outside linebacker will have a better chance of winning now with defensive tackle Aaron Donald than he did with choreographer Witney Carson on the TV show in 2016. They finished seventh. Von might even be a Super Bowl champion once more.…

Woody Paige: Broncos defense saves the day, offense almost blows it
Fail Mary, Fail Mary, Sail Mary. The defense, full of grace, grit, and grind, saved the Broncos and the day. Near the end Sunday afternoon the Broncos’ offense acted like costumed clown characters and almost gave away the game as if it were Halloween candy corn. Thank goodness for the Washington badness. The difference between…

Woody Paige: Washington Football more meh than the Denver Broncos
The Broncos are meh. And “Sound The Alarm’’ may be the famous last words uttered in Denver by the Broncos’ most famous player. Good thing the Broncos are playing Sunday at home against the Washington Slimeball Franchise. The Broncos will win and possess a .500 record after eight games, as any logical soothsayer, or even…

Woody Paige: One trade that happened, and one that didn’t between Washington and Denver shaped the teams as we know them
Thirty years ago Sunday opponents Washington and Denver discussed pulling off a blockbuster, Broncos-busting trade that would have drastically changed the franchises’ histories. They didn’t do that deal, but 13 years later the NFL teams actually completed an astonishing swap. John Elway, then the Broncos’ superstar starting quarterback, was the centerpiece of a 1991 negotiation…

Woody Paige: The Broncos are bad, but this offseason could be worse
The Broncos’ conundrum of controlling owner, trustees, CEO, president of football operations, head coach, coordinators, quarterbacks and a dozen unrestricted veteran free agents will be besieged by convoluted timing complications in 2022. With general manager George Paton betwixt and between. The Broncos’ saddles are blazing. Unless the Broncos, who have lost 52 of their past…
