All hail Cale! Hell yes!

Woody Paige: Murdock, Katsis should be Broncos for sure
In the countdown to cutdown, Red is Relevant, and 2K is a keeper. One was picked last in the NFL draft. The other languished during the draft unpicked.

Woody Paige: Bo Nix plays key role in Broncos’ success in 2026
This season Bo Nix could elevate up there in rarefied air. As goes Bo’s season, so go the Broncos. Broncos obsessives should chant “Go Bo Nix … Six.” The 58th starting quarterback in franchise history would become only the fourth of the genre to lead the Broncos to the Super Bowl and create the Denver MEN’s…

Woody Paige: Rockies ring the Bell for another shortstop, leaving MLB Draft’s first day short on pitching
The Nuggets probably won’t get LeBron; the Rockies definitely didn’t get Lebron. LeBron James is a longshot. Tyler Bell is a shortstop. And the Rox weren’t able to draft the first pick – Roch (pronounced Rock). The Dodgers drafted a Bo. Despite being the worst team last season in baseball, the Rox were demoted to…

In this fall I’m going to take my talents to the Rocky Mountains and join the Denver Nuggets.” — LeBron James, The Decision IV Fiction, fantasy, foolishness, fabrication or fact?
