Kickin’ it with Kiz: Nobody happy about Broncos tailback C.J. Anderson’s injury — except Pats Nation

Wouldn’t it be cool to see Nebraska v. Colorado in a bowl game

Do you think Broncos running back C.J. Anderson is done?

– Marcel, Pats Nation

Kiz: So if a Patriots fans inquires about Anderson’s knee injury, is the motivation to send well wishes to Denver? I think not. Listen, New England was the overwhelming favorite to win the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs before Anderson got hurt. Hey Patsies, try not to mess it up (the way you did last season).

Your column suggesting the Broncos consider a trade for Dallas quarterback Tony Romo was about the most idiotic thing I have read. You stated you didn’t know the last time Romo finished a season. How about 1 ½ years ago, when he won the NFL passing title? Are you jealous of the Cowboys, which probably have more fans in Denver than the Broncos? In all-time passer rating, Romo is No. 3. John Elway is No. 66. Your apology is accepted.

– Mike, rootin’-tootin’ cowboy

Kiz: Easy, Tex. If you’re gonna get all saddle sore, at least get mad at me for the right reason. I like Romo and think he would look great in a Broncos uniform. Yes, Romo has been hurt lately, but as recently as 2014, when Romo played 15 games, he finished with the top QB rating in the NFL. Hmm, letap see if this sounds familiar to apountry: A veteran QB with a recent history of injury (but excellent stats when healthy) comes to Denver and leads the team to Super Bowl contention.

Soccer is garbage. The XFL was more exciting than soccer.

Kiz: Soccer is not for everybody. But I have a little theory: Folks that go out of their way to hate soccer don’t really hate the game nearly as much as they hate the way old ’Murica is changing. If you fear soccer’s growth in the USA, better jump on your Harley and ride until you cross the border into a country that doesn’t like soccer. Good luck finding one.

Getting ahead of myself, but how cool would it be to see Colorado versus Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl?

– Ned, proud Buff

Kiz: Others might dream of a Rose Bowl berth for the Buffs. We here at Kickin’ It Headquarters would rather drive down San Diego way and spend a few days at the beach with our old friends the Bugeaters.

And today’s parting shot is from a kind-hearted soul irked at those of us who fell on the floor laughing when Brock Osweiler committed a football-follies fumble against the Broncos.

Whatap with all the hostility against Osweiler? This is football, not the presidential race. Or do you think you now have permission to talk like “The Donald” and get away with it? You belittled Osweiler like a school-yard bully and told him to “get out of town.” Let me ask you something: If the New York Times offered you $37 million, how long would it take you to pack your bags?

– Jan, Denver
