Mike Shanahan belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. No question. Why? From back-to-back Super Bowl championships to an average of 10 victories per season, not to mention all the current young, successful coaches who have come from the Shanny tree.
G.J., Lakewood
Kiz: While Shanahan the general manager eventually got Shanahan the coach fired in Denver, taking a chance on a running back named Terrell Davis in the sixth round ranks alongside the Nuggets’ selection of Nikola Jokic as the greatest (and luckiest) draft pick in the history of this dusty old cowtown. If T.D. is in the Hall, the Mastermind belongs in there, as well..
I’m a longtime Kansas City Chiefs fan and there’s zero reason why Shanahan isn’t in Canton.

Kiz: When a hated rival gives Shanny love, you can be assured that being fitted with a gold jacket is only a matter of time.
Kiz, I thought all the Broncos’ offensive issues were Drew Lock’s fault? That was all you had to say during the offseason. It was all going to be fixed once Teddy Bridgewater was named the starting quarterback, based on your columns heralding his veteran leadership. Now you think the issue is offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur. Who is the next scapegoat? I’m sure you will continue to find someone convenient to bury.
D.D., has Pat’s back
Kiz: I appreciate you reading my stuff. When I called for his ouster after the loss in Pittsburgh, Shurmur claimed to local media wretches that he never reads our stuff. “I’d love to read all your stuff, but I just can’t do it,” Shurmur said. “I won’t do it, and I really have never done it.” I have no reason to doubt the man. Shurmur doesn’t have to read my stuff. In my experience, somebody the coach knows well, whether it’s a public-relations director or a spouse, often reads my stuff to him.
The same Avalanche fans saying “no big deal” about Gabe Landeskog’s hit on Blackhawks center Kirby Dach in the season-opener would be screaming bloody murder and demanding a 20-game suspension if the same hit was on one of their favorite players.
Ron, fair and balanced
Kiz: I love Landy. In nearly 40 years of covering sports in Colorado, he’s among my favorite people. But boarding Dach was precisely the type of dumb penalty that can get a team beat in the playoffs.
I guess this is a love letter. Your writing is the highlight of my morning newspaper. I laughed out loud at the “Hamburger Helper” analogy used to describe the Broncos’ offensive game plan, and appreciated your excellent perspective on Jon Gruden. You are good people, Kiz.
Polly, gentle soul
Kiz: In my entire life, I’ve learned only two useful skills: No. 1: Typing. No. 2: BBQ grilling. .
And today’s parting shot is definitely not a love letter, although perhaps I should interpret it as best wishes for my future endeavors.
Kiz, you do stupid most of the time you put word to page. Denver sports media will be better off for your retirement. Hurry it up already.
