Kiszla vs. Gabriel: Has Deion Sanders stolen the Rocky Mountain thunder from the Broncos?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:30:14 GMT

Kiz: Denver is still a Broncos town. But it’s Deion Sanders’ world now. And Broncos coach Sean Payton is just living in it. From the moment he set foot in Colorado, Coach Prime made everything the Buffs do buzz-worthy in the football universe. And that was before CU upset Texas Christian in the biggest victory for the program since Bill McCartney won a national championship. As Sanders likes to say: We comin’. Should the Broncos be checking for Ralphie in their rearview mirror?Gabriel: If the Labor Day water cooler talk in the Broncos’ media workroom is any indication, the Buffs are the biggest thing going. All Neon Deion, very little NFL Week 1 in the air. I still think if the Broncos get off to a good start or a bad start, the buzz will get loud in a hurry. But if they’re mediocre and boring offensively – can terrific defense still sell in football? – well, the Buffs won’t be that at least. A brusque, game-week Payton on Monday said he didn’t see any college football t...
