Proud of the Broncos
Congrats to the Broncos (period).
Sure, they lost. It’s a game. Someone wins and someone loses. But, with a backup quarterback, they only lost by three points. Depending on who wins the Super Bowl, they lost to the Super Bowl runner-up or the eventual Super Bowl winner. In my book, that makes them, at worst, the fourth-best team in the NFL. And 2025 Division winners!
And the Broncos’ backup quarterback, Jarrett Stidham? Not bad at all for someone who got thrown into the fray at the last minute — 54.8% completions for 133 yards compared to the Patriots’ Drake Maye’s 47.6% for 86 yards. And how many quarterbacks don’t throw an interception in a game once in a while? And even more, Stidham is not the only player on the team, so don’t anyone give me “He lost it for us.”
The team won the division but lost the conference championship, a darn sight better than they’ve done in the last 10 years. We saw Bo Nix do extremely well for a second-year quarterback, we saw Sean Payton do extremely well as a great coach; we saw Stidham do extremely well as a first-time starter in a playoff game; we saw the Broncos do extremely well all season long, so what’s to cry about? All the Broncos are champions in my book. I wonder what this team can do next year?

Hurting Nuggets — NBA needs to reduce games per season
With so much attention on the Broncos, we often hear little about the Nuggets’ ongoing injury situation involving key players, including superstar Nikola Jokic.
The league simply plays too many games, contributing to injuries throughout the league. There should be no back-to-back games, and, excluding the playoffs, there should be a maximum of 65 games played. Fans buy tickets in advance expecting to see superstars playing and much of the time they’re injured and don’t play. It’s time for the NBA to demonstrate it cares about fans and the health and well-being of players.

‘The effect the government has on the price of housing’
Neither limiting corporate ownership nor placing limits on new single-family detached housing will provide a lasting affordability solution. This would be more government distortion of the housing market, restricting the already tight supply of a very desirable type of housing, and add more upward price pressure.
Affordability has two parts: Purchase price and interest rate. During the mid-1980s, interest rates were almost 15%. The real estate market survived and thrived. Today’s interest rates are about half that. Interest rates are not the problem. The root of the problem is the total cost of housing.
The effect the government has on the price of housing, a basic necessity, deserves more attention. Our nation’s housing finance system, unfortunately, allows for housing to also be treated as a speculative investment, thus pushing up the price of this basic necessity. With readily available financing, it is not unexpected for housing prices to outpace income growth.
