Kickin’ It with Kiz: Broncos will make playoffs, thanks to you, Walmart shoppers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:58 GMT

The Broncos improved in free agency. Guard Ben Powers was a great pick up, as well offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey. Overall I can’t complain about any of the additions. They all fit what coach Sean Payton is trying to create.Bob, bullish on BroncosKiz: Attention, Walmart shoppers. Sincere thanks for your contributions in transforming the Broncos from a last-place team to a legit playoff contender. Smarter football men than me have done the math; Greg Penner and new ownership led the NFL by spending well over $200 million in free agency. The Broncos will go 11-6 in 2023. And make the playoffs. If I’m wrong? I’m sure some of fine folks will remind me what a knucklehead I am until the day I die (maybe longer).The Broncos stepped in dog poo by signing quarterback Jarrett Stidham as a free agent. Baker Mayfield has more experience and got paid less by Tampa Bay. I guess the Broncos don’t want to challenge or upset Mr. Eliminated.A.L., Hastings, Neb.Kiz: The Broncos inv...

Review: John Mellencamp triumphs in spectacular fashion in San Francisco

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:58 GMT

John Mellencamp wanted to make one thing perfectly clear to the audience at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco:“The older I get, the less I give a (expletive),” proclaimed the 71-year-old Hoosier. “I don’t give a (expletive)”Mellencamp doth protest too much, methinks.You don’t put on a fiery show like he did on Friday and not give a (expletive). Indeed, his passion was burning red hot throughout the just-over-two-hour concert, as he charged through his songbook as convincingly as he has at any point during a recording career that dates back to the 1976 “Johnny Cougar” debut, “Chestnut Street Incident.”He’s still championing social issues through song, both in his older numbers and in the new ones he’s been writing. His comments to the crowd on Friday — the first half of a two-night stand at the venue — make it clear just how much the art of songcraft still matters to him. And he works really ha...
