I’m really loving that we landed Drew Sanders. I watched him play last year and the kid looks like he’ll be a force at ILB for us. What do you think?— Mark, ArvadaLet’s get it going this week with Mark’s question about the draft class overall.

The Broncos traded up to No. 63 for receiver Marvin Mims Jr., up to No. 83 for cornerback Riley Moss, selected JL Skinner at No. 183 with one of the picks from the Mims trade and then nabbed offensive lineman Alex Forsyth at No...

Fox has been making billions of dollars feeding “conservative” news to a gullible American public. Telling viewers bogus horror stories about the “left” and “big government” is a cash advertising cow they want to milk.The suit payment will only be a small cost to the Fox business model. Let us note that true “patriots” can take news, good or bad, that ethical journalists report. Real patriots should reject the opinionated “conservative fantasy news” model.Jeff Baysinger, Lakewood,After settling the Dominion defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million, Fox News issued this statement: “This settlement reflects Fox’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards.” I guess they just can’t help themselves.
