Bo Nix is exactly who you want him to be.He is athletic, mature, smart and unimpressed with himself. The Broncos quarterback made his home debut on Sunday night, facing suffocating pressure for a preseason game, and played like it was Saturday afternoon in Oregon.Nix is no longer in the mix. He is the fix.This game didn’t count, except it meant everything for answering the question Broncos Country had: Is Nix ready to start the season opener on Sept. 8 at Seattle and lead this team into the future? The answer is a convincing (bleep) yes.This game played out exactly how…

Sean Payton scoffed at the notion of naming a starting quarterback Sunday night.Actions tell the story, though, and Bo Nix is steaming toward official QB1 status.Words do matter, too, and the Broncos’ head coach continued to have high praise for not only the rookie first-round draft pick but also Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson after Denver’s 27-2 win over Green Bay.“(Nix) did a good job at the line of scrimmage with some checks,” Payton said. “You feel his comfort level as he continues to get used to the calls coming in and you kind of feel the poise when he’s…

Front Range residents may be dodging scattered showers and thunderstorms on Sunday, though a chance of precipitation isn’t enough to cool off temperatures expected to reach the mid-90s.

After years of sparring over property tax rates, leading Colorado Democrats and conservative activists finally see an offramp from the conflict.To get there, it will only have taken two special sessions, annual short-term bills at the Capitol, multiple threats of ballot measures and a failed attempt to override the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.The latest bid for peace materialized Thursday, when Gov. Jared Polis announced he would call the legislature back for another special session — the second since last November — at the end of the month. If state lawmakers pass additional property tax cuts in the multiday session that…

Getting prenatal care for her first child was a relative breeze, Cheianne Pogline said: the hospital where she would deliver the baby was only about seven minutes from her house.The process got significantly harder with the next three. She and her husband moved from Craig to Parachute in 2019, and the closest options for obstetrical care were an hour away, in Glenwood Springs or Grand Junction. When they moved back to Craig in 2022, they found Memorial Regional Health had stopped offering maternity care, meaning the closest option was in Steamboat Springs.Women in two out of five Colorado counties face…
