Step aside, Gase, this smart lady calling shots
Readers talk and columnist Mark Kiszla responds I’m just an oldwomanwhowatches football and anything but an expert, but the Broncos’ lack of a running back who bulldozes hisway through the line with three defenders hanging onto him has been lacking for too long.
Kiz for Cooke’s second serving.
The passing of Peyton Manning spreads out a defense in a nickel or dime package. Juwan Thompson rumbles through an undermanned, undersized defensive front. Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase sends thank-you note to smart lady who knows football better than he does.
Passing the whine.
Your column suggesting an Avalanche player fight Minnesota’sMatt Cooke was nothing but a whine fest. I hope Cooke puts another Av out for the season.
You stay classy, Minnesota. How many times did Minnesota players get “cheap hit” last NHL season? It’s part of hockey. Stuff happens. I hope Cooke comes after you, Kiz.
Kiz: As soon as I learn to skate, Cooke knows where to find me. I’ve always dreamed of competing in the Winter Olympics. Cooke would make an excellent ice dancing partner, don’t you think?
Sunny side up.
I know the sun rarely shines in your world, Kiz. But it’s clear there have been vast improvement in the CU football program. Give coach MikeMacIntyre his four recruiting classes before you bury him. For your spiritual health, just for a few moments be positive.
Save Dinger.
OK, let’s get positive. The Buffs did not lose Saturday. They had a bye. Thank goodness for small favors.
Bear with Rockies.
In reference to your proposal that the Rockies fire Dinger: Do you have any suggestion on a new mascot? I say bear.
I say a rock, and nominate one of theMonfort brothers to play the part.
And today’s parting shot is from a mother aghast that anybody would wish for Dinger’s untimely demise.
Fire Dinger? Really? Countless second innings at Coors Field have been spent with my children, waiting in line for a photo with Dinger. While the Rockies bullpen implodes, Dinger represents faithful fans who return to Coors Field year after year and stay until the last pitch.
