Woody Paige: Broncos’ pursuit of Matthew Stafford, Deshaun Watson right out of the Hunger Games
The Broncos are the odds-on favorites to obtain Matthew Stafford. So claims one online betting service. In 2018 the Broncos had the best odds of signing Kirk Cousins, according to another online gambling operation (which currently has the Broncos second in the Stafford Sweepstakes).

Woody Paige: Why are the Denver Broncos lacking diversity in hires?
The Broncos’ roster is composed of more than 75 percent black players. More than 80 percent of the Denver Broncos’ executives, administrators, directors, coaches and scouts are white men.

Blame the media? Let me introduce you to a few in Colorado first | Vince Bzdek
During the sacking of the Capitol last week, someone engraved the words “Murder the Media” on one of the doors of democracy’s cathedral.
