Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo said something interesting when asked about Broncos' Bo Nix by @MarleahKCTV5. Spags said he shared a slide with his defense this week showing that Nix's career @pff grade against KC is higher than any other QB. "I think he's a terrific football player."
Nikola Jokic doesn’t think fans should idolize him:
"I don't think I have that much influence on young people; people tell me, ‘They look up to you.’ Well, they shouldn't, I didn't look up to others. I disagree with people on this, even if my opinion might not be popular."
Last year, in the four games J.K. Dobbins had 14 or fewer carries, the Broncos were 2-2.
In the games he had 15 or more carries, Denver was a perfect 6-0.
So maybe Dobbins idea of 100 carries against the Chiefs isn't a bad idea.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, 28-year-old Marcy Borders was at her desk on the 81st floor of the North Tower.
It was her first month on the job.
When the plane hit, her boss told everyone to stay where they were. Marcy ignored him and ran for the stairs.
She reached the lobby of a nearby building just as the tower came down behind her. A photographer caught her standing there, frozen, covered head to toe in grey dust.
To the world, she became known as "The Dust Lady."
But she never wanted to be famous for it. She became afraid of planes and tall buildings. She started drinking and using drugs, lost custody of her kids, and spent years unable to work.
In 2011, she went to rehab and got clean.
Three years later, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Marcy always believed the disease came from the dust she breathed that morning. She died on August 24, 2015, at 42.
My Lord.
@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.
Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.
One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.
Really says it all.
At Red Rocks Amphitheater, the 9/11 25th Anniversary stair climb is now beginning! More than 4,000 people here across 35 states and the Netherlands. See you at 930am again for coverage! @CBSNewsColorado
I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
Sunday looks like the stormiest day of the weekend for both the mountains and the Denver area. Some storms could linger into Sunday night/Monday AM. 30-40% storm coverage on Sunday.
Also watching the potential for stronger storms on Monday over the Eastern Plains.

Nikola Jokic says he doesn’t think he should be a role model to young fans:
“I don't know if a public figure should really influence children. I think that role belongs to family and friends… I figured out it wasn't cool to go out at 16 and get drunk on the street when I had to train. I don't think I have that much influence over young people. People tell me, 'they look up to you as an example!' Well, they shouldn't, just like I also didn't look up to others either.”

Nashville International Airport will be renamed after the late Dolly Parton after its board unanimously voted to change the name. https://t.co/KD4vSkK3KB
Jalen Duren is reportedly rejecting the Detroit Pistons’ five-year, $190 million offer and is seeking more than $200 million, per @sam_amick
“Per league sources, Detroit’s last offer was a five-year deal in the $190 million range. Duren, who is eligible to receive a five-year, $287 million contract, is seeking at least $200 million. As is the case with any player’s contract negotiation, the use of player or team options in the deal significantly impacts the final number.”
