Renck: Brian Griese is bullish on Bo Nix — and using sports to help better the world

“Bo improved last season, and that isn’t always the case when the league gets film on you. He will continue to get better, but they are going to need a few more offensive weapons.&#8221…

“We are not in a state of denial,” general manager Josh Byrnes said.

Without Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets do not look like a champion. He doesn’t make the team. But his absence could break the Nuggets.

Health of Aaron Gordon threatens to spoil Nuggets’ championship dreams | Renck & File

Aaron Gordon is a plus-defender on a roster with few of them. He can bring the ball up against pressure. He can match up against centers.

“Legitimacy,” said Williams, a former Denver East, CU and ABA star. “That’s what I hope this (docuseries) brings. Legitimacy.”

Renck: Why Ray Bourque raising Stanley Cup should inspire current Avalanche team

In the 2000-2001 season, a 40-year-old defenseman’s hunger provided the rudder. Those Avs were good enough to win without him. But they won because of him. Can the Avs do it again this season…

Renck: If Broncos’ Sean Payton is going to continue to live by the sword, he needs a bigger one

Just kick. And you kick the Patriots’ butt. Not Payton’s style. He will always be more Tin Cup’s Kevin Costner than the PGA’s Scottie Scheffler.

Should Nuggets take extra precautions with Nikola Jokic after what happened to Aaron Gordon?

While no one will forget Payton going for it on fourth down, no one will remember Jokic’s fourth MVP award if his health undermines a championship season.

Renck & File: Broncos’ Sean Payton had guts to hire Davis Webb, and wisely trusts him with Jarrett Stidham

Davis Webb is a buffer. He is brilliant. And this game plan demands his best work, steeling Jarrett Stidham for the biggest challenge of his career, or any career for that matter.

Renck: Disastrous Bills presser offers reminder that Broncos struck gold with Walton-Penners

As someone who began covering the Broncos in the early 1990s, my respect for Pat Bowlen is immense. But Denver was not returning to the NFL’s upper crust as a family business.
