Is Keenum Broncos’ longterm answer?

-

Time for a career change? The worst college football defense in the galaxy could look like the 1985 Chicago Bears against Broncos quarterbac­k Case Keenum. So you ask: Why does he struggle? Simple. He is no bueno, like a soggy order of tacos. Keenum needs to open an insurance agency fast, and stop causing Denver fans so much heartburn.

Kiz: In Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs appear to have found their quarterbac­k for the next 10 years. We trust there are better games ahead for Keenum. But after four weeks, I think it’s safe to say GM John Elway will have to keep looking for his team’s quarterbac­k of the future.

Prediction­s. You should stop torturing yourself, Kiszla. Your incorrect and uninformed prediction of a Broncos victory over Kansas City, followed with a sanctimoni­ous attempt after the game to justify your incompeten­ce by calling the Chiefs “soft,” didn’t change the final score. At least the outcome was achieved by gladiators on the field, not you pencilpush­ers in the press box. Since you live in the “soft” world of irrelevanc­e, it’s understand­able you felt the need to cover your mistake. But most of us learn to read and write by age 6 and proceed to more meaningful and productive lives. Surely your therapist has explained this to you. Or perhaps you should hang out with meteorolog­ists, as they also live in a percentage­based world with no accountabi­lity.

Bill, irked at the weatherman

Kiz: Here’s my weather forecast for January in Kansas City: Cold and gray, with zero percent chance of the Chiefs advancing to the Super Bowl.

Rocknotthi­stime mottos.

With the Rockies on the rocks against Milwaukee, here are thoughts for a new team motto: 1) You want some offense? So would we; 2) Looking forward to ski season, and 3) The Cubs took over 100 years to win the World Series. We can beat that.

Kiz: Maybe you can wait around another 100 years for a Rockies championsh­ip, my friend. I’ve got someplace else to go but will keep a seat warm for you.

The luck of the Rockies. Your column on the Rockies’ 21 playoff victory over the Chicago Cubs captured the exact emotions of why baseball bonds families with memories that last a lifetime. My sons and daughter lived and died on every pitch. It got to the point where we changed our television­viewing positions in the house to rally the Rox. We even made the dogs switch their spots on the couch and rubbed the cat for luck during the 13th inning.

Ron, maybe a little superstiti­ous

Kiz: I’ve been blessed to work in our dusty old cowtown for 35 years and not covered a more crazy beautiful victory by a Denver sports team. Was Super Bowl XXXII a bigger moment? Sure. But those 13 innings of gutwrenchi­ng drama made for a more spectacula­r game.

Coach on the wrong channel.

And today’s parting shot is speculatio­n on what Broncos coach Vance Joseph does best.

Joseph spends half the game looking at the belt to find the right button to make his headphones work and the other half not understand­ing what he hears on the wrong setting.
