You think Denver sports fans win as a result of a Walmart family feud? Greg Penner and Stan Kroenke both married Walton women. “Family Feud” is a TV game show hosted by Steve Harvey.

— J., not easily impressed

Kiz: Gotta admit it’s kinda funny to turn the marrying-for-the-money stereotype inside out, portraying Denver’s leading male sports moguls as gold-diggers. That portrayal, however, is totally inaccurate, if you’ve ever actually watched how Penner and Kroenke roll up their sleeves and get to work. Greg and Stan have a shot to make the next five years the new golden age of Denver sports. And know what? Ask sports fans in Portland or Cincinnati if they would like to trade the franchise owners in their towns with ours. It would be a done deal faster than you could say, “Attention, Walmart shoppers …”

We need a WNBA team in Denver. Please.

— LaTanya, hoops fanatic

Kiz: While I’ve been as guilty as anybody regarding the bellyaching about the cheapskate vibe of both the Nuggets’ and Avalanche’s practice facilities, here’s a much more legit criticism of Kroenke’s refusal to spend money on the fringes on his empire. While he has invested in football, hockey, basketball, soccer and lacrosse played by guys, Stan the Man has shown zero real interest in giving young girls in Denver a team of their own to cheer. Despite Caitlin Clark raising the profile of women’s hoops, the Kroenke family has long held the belief that investing in the WNBA is akin to flushing money down the toilet.

After watching Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar’s uninspired play this season, he seems detached both on the field and at bat. Could all the recent events in his home country of Venezuela, from the coup to the earthquake, cause his listless play?

— Jim, aka Tar Heel Slim

Kiz: It’s an interesting theory, one I cannot confirm or deny. But I do know this: Our athletic heroes are human, too. Stuff can happen in their personal lives. And, like the rest of us, it can affect work performance.

Another Kiszla column that insults the Broncos head coach? It’s getting old.

— anonymous (and angry)

Kiz: Yes, Sean Payton and I have certainly had our differences. We both can be tough nuts to crack. But after Denver’s preseason victory over the Falcons, my Gazette colleague Chris Tomasson and I were two among only a handful of Denver journalists who traveled to Atlanta. That left plenty of space in the coach’s postgame presser for the conversation to breathe. In a spontaneous back-and-forth, I basically asked what he was doing on the Denver sideline now that he has given his play-calling duties to Davis Webb. While trying to explain, he kidded us scribes about our failure to immediately know the title of a 1970 movie starring Jack Lemmon. While I’m sorry you missed the light-hearted nature of the press conference banter, I won’t apologize for you getting angry about it.
