Broncos linebacker is a covidiot. But he’s not a bad person. After testing positive for COVID-19, Miller can use his experience to teach and share. Letap all learn to beat this thing and move back toward normal. But itap a long season, and we’ve got to play smart.
— Greg, values teaching moments
Kiz: First and foremost, let me wish Miller a speedy and full recovery. But as he made the media rounds to declare we all should be taking this shelter-in-place stuff seriously, the fun-loving Vonster casually mentioned his home has recently been visited by his trainer, his maid, his fish-tank cleaners and his place-kicker. While I’m not certain that rises to the level of covidiot, it does make me wonder if visitors enter Miller’s crib through a revolving door. Miller last week posted a photograph of a new tattoo. Instead of “Sack Master” maybe the tat should have said: “Knucklehead.”
Yeah, my place-kicker keeps coming over to my house, too.
— Reg, punk-rocking engineer
Kiz: Hey, we all want to be our huggy bear. And we all miss our workout buddies. But let’s wait until the worst of this corona storm passes, K?
Alas, I fear we shall all be forced to furlough our domestic staffs. Who shall do my daily mani-pedi? I am ruined.
— Tex, dreading sandal season
Kiz: Sociologists claim this pandemic will change American culture forever. It makes sense to me, because all the money I used to waste on haircuts has now been put to better use: beer. By the way, how do you think I’d look in dreadlocks?
The rules of our new normal are not that hard for most people. What was Miller’s score on the Wonderlic test? The people having the toughest time sheltering in place are the dumb, the young, the rich and the red-hat wearers.
— Sam, Aurora
Kiz: Red-hat wearers? You mean Chiefs fans? (Only kid the ones I love.) From Denver to Kansas City, we’ve all discovered if coronavirus doesn’t kill us, we might perish from boredom.
I love Von, but he let all these people into his home. What did he expect? Thatap not social-distancing. I wish him a safe recovery, regardless.
— Krissi, likes chocolate for breakfast
Kiz: The staff here at Kickin’ It Headquarters is grateful a coronavirus test was available for Miller, because he has an underlying condition of asthma and COVID-19 ain’t no joke. But we will be even more grateful when tests with rapid results are available for more than 90% of Coloradans.
And today’s parting shot is a much-appreciated (virtual) fist bump delivered from a safe social distance.
My family and I have been Colorado residents, as well as loyal fans of the local sports teams, since 1992. Kiz, I can’t remember the exact date I started reading your columns, but it has been a long time. I wanted to say thank you for delivering heartfelt, thoughtful and entertaining content each and every day in The Denver Post. I look forward to it, especially during these uncertain times.
— Michael, representing the 303
