Von wants to play another season for Dan Quinn, but he will always be a fan of #DenverBroncos because of the love he gets from #BroncosCountry. www.denverpost.com/2025/11/28/v...

Are Bo Nix and Sean Payton back in sync with offense after #kansascitychiefs’ win? Answer to that question will determine whether #DenverBroncos are a Super Bowl team. My #denverpost column: www.denverpost.com/2025/11/22/b...

What do you think #BroncosCountry?

To make a run at the AFC’s top seed, the Broncos need Bo Nix and Sean Payton on the same page.

Michael Porter Jr. trade a bust for #DenverNuggets? Not yet. Deal is about Cam Johnson and Aaron Gordon. My #denverpost Renck&File column: www.denverpost.com/2025/11/21/m...

The comparison between Michael Porter Jr. and Cam Johnson remains unflattering. But it was never a one-for-one.

Unselfish actions of #Avs, #DenverNuggets are bread crumbs that lead to downtown parade. My weekly #denverpost Renck&File column focusing on what Marty Necas did Thursday night: www.denverpost.com/2025/11/14/m...

Nobody wins a title in November. But the actions of Necas and Jokic are the bread crumbs we can follow to a downtown parade.

For those who want to believe it will work, Paul DePodesta has brainpower. The question becomes: Will he have real power?

#DenverBroncos QB Bo Nix is regressing, and Sean Payton is failing him. Nix cannot continue to play like he did Thursday if Denver wants to win the AFC West. My Renck&File column in #denverpost: www.denverpost.com/2025/11/07/b...

Time for Sean Payton to fit the offense around Bo Nix. Not the other way around.

#BroncosCountry

What does this mush mean? Two things. The Broncos cannot beat the Chiefs with Nix playing like this. And two, it is hard to be this bad offensively and have a record this good.
