Sports columnist at denvergazette.com. Kickin’ It at sports venues in this dusty old cowtown since 1983. We're all knuckleheads (me most of all).

Great QBs lift up everybody, making OL look better and making WRs big $. Learned that from Peyton Manning and John Elway. Were you not watching.

I praise CU in victory. Criticize CU in defeat. That was case before Prime. And will be the case after Prime. Prime is good entertainment. Enjoy the give and take. Hater? No way. You’re looking for fight that doesn’t exist. But if that churns your butter … Churn on, buttercup.

All of sports? That might be a bit of an overstatement IMHO. But the best in history of Denver pro sports? No doubt about it. But again … that’s just me.

Your game was bigger, Mr Lindsay. This CU team is tracking well. But ways to go before this team achieved what your team did.

Yep, losing 8-4 to Vegas in opener stings for Avs. Yep, it’s only one game. But team’s issues bigger than one game. Champ window still open. But without Val and Gabe, hard to see how Avs get sniff of Stanley Cup final.

It’s really hard to win the Stanley Cup, a playoff grind like no other. And awesome achievement by Avs to win it in 2022. But if this group doesn’t win another chip, it will be huge opportunity lost.
