My wife is pregnant, due in May. I’m bringing a child into the world where the Rockies are the best team in Denver. I love it.

Kiz: There are too many miserable football fans that refuse to see the truth. Denver is a good baseball town with a Broncos problem. If we’ve learned anything in 2017 from a last-place NFL team, itap that Broncomania can become an unhealthy obsession. Itap OK to step away from the bashing of long enough to applaud the Rockies’ signing of closer Wade Davis. So how about this as a resolution for 2018? There’s more to life than bad football. Go out and bask in the sunshine of Coors Field.
Without question, the Rockies are far closer to the World Series than the Broncos are to the . Whatap more, the trend lines are running in opposite directions.

Kiz: At the risk of being called greedy, the knuckleheads here at Kickin’ It Headquarters would like general manager Jeff Bridich to also add a bat before we start talking World Series.
With Patrick Mahomes the quarterback of the future in Kansas City, would it make sense if is available for the Broncos to take him instead of ? Denver would get a veteran quarterback with a lower price tag and similar stats to Cousins.

Kiz: Smith will be stuck wearing a Chiefs cap on a chilly Sunday afternoon, watching a meaningless game between Denver and Kansas City. Maybe John Elway should grab Smith off the sideline, take him to drink a Yeti Imperial Stout and discuss real estate options in our dusty old cow town.
This isn’t a wish list for the Broncos, but a to-do list. And No. 1 on my list is to place Elway on one-year probation to show he can recruit legitimate NFL quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and offensive linemen. If Elway fails, retain him only as a figurehead because of Denver’s infatuation with his history, and replace him with someone who knows how to evaluate, draft and retain the best players. Please print my comments in The Post under my name, so there will be no threat to your job security, Kiz.

Kiz: Since 1983, the relationship between Elway and me has remained the same. I ask irreverent questions; he rolls his eyes. Itap just a guess, but your threat to put Elway on double-secret probation probably won’t scare him much.
And today’s parting shot takes umbrage with anyone who compares Baker Mayfield to another recent Heisman Trophy winner named .
As a fifth-generation fan of the Oklahoma Sooners, I completely understand your concerns about Mayfield. He can be cocky, eccentric and a little embarrassing to root for as a 45-year-old father with two kids in middle school. But if the Broncos decide not to draft him, can you live with Mayfield lighting them up a half dozen times over the next 10 years?
