Broncos not worth watching

- Readers talk and columnist Mark Kiszla responds

Write this down. Unlike the Denver sports media, Broncos season-ticket holders have to pay $100-plus per ticket. If you are asking people to throw them away, Kiz, you should also do your part. Quit your job and stop reporting on the Broncos. Kirk, can’t stop watching

Kiz: With the temperatur­e expected to reach 60 degrees on Sunday, there are better things to do in Denver than beat a dead horse. Go for a bike ride. Finish your holiday shopping. Eat worms. But good luck trying to find anybody to offer you full price for Broncos tickets, which were being sold for as little as $42 on the secondary market, last time the crack staff here at Kickin’ It Headquarte­rs checked.

Beer here. The Broncos really need to do the right thing as an organizati­on. Slash beer prices in half at the stadium. F.F., Denver

Kiz: Now there’s an innovative idea. (Maybe some smart Broncos executive should steal it.) My only concern: If you ply the crowd with alcohol, will fans grow mellower, or merely shout meaner things at quarterbac­k Trevor Siemian when he throws an intercepti­on?

Mr. Negative. Did you get your applicatio­n and résumé sent to the Broncos’ front office yet, Kiz? Mr. Know-it-allwriter surely can run the Broncos and have them go 19-0 as Super Bowl champions every single season. But, in reality, when you miserably fail, you will realize you are a just a typical negative, hateful sportswrit­er. P.B., helpful headhunter

Kiz: The way I figure it, if you would be so kind as to write me a recommenda­tion, it’s a done deal for me to make the first pick for the Broncos in the 2018 NFL draft. I can’t guarantee a 19-0 record every year. But, in my first act as a franchise muckety-muck, I will solemnly decree: Brock Olivo buys every one in the stadium a round every time the special teams mess up.

Thanks, Broncos. Count me among those fans that think this Broncos team and coaching is wretched, probably up there with the 1997-98 Nuggets as one of the most unwatchabl­e teams we’ve seen in Denver sports. Fortunatel­y for me, the Broncos canceled my season tickets this year as part of their purge, claiming I did not attend any games last year (which was not true). This holiday season I give thanks to the Broncos for canceling my tickets, so I do not have to sit through these last two home games, or be among the thousands of ticket holders trying to dump my seats at a significan­t loss. Dennis, Denver

Kiz: In a league with so many bad teams, it’s easier to win nine games in a row than lose nine games in a row. So my fearless prediction is: Broncos 20, Jets 17. The streak is dead!

Beat the heat. And today’s parting shot attempts to offer a scientific explanatio­n on how badly coach Vance Joseph needs a victory against the Jets on Sunday:

When they smash gold particles together, for a split second, the temperatur­e reaches 7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit. The temperatur­e of Joseph’s seat is just above that. Pete, Oslo
