Letters: Columnist Mark Kiszla leaves his own big footprint in sports world

Mark Kiszla fansRe: “40 years of Mark Kiszla,” Oct. 15 sports coverageI sometimes “glance” at the other sports writers’ columns, but I always READ Mark Kiszla’s.— Larry McLaughlin, AuroraReading the retrospective on Mark Kiszla’s 40 years with The Denver Post brought back so many great memories. My family moved to Denver in 1963. My dad was a huge sports fan and a newspaper junky, and we always took The Post and the Rocky Mountain News. I remember my kid brother playing football with Dave Logan at Wheat Ridge High School, and going to games at Folsom Field in Boulder and Bronco games in the winter when it was so cold you couldn’t feel your feet, hands or face.As a young adult, I remember the only season tickets available back then were in the notoriously rowdy South stands at Mile High. I remember going to Nuggets games in the ’70s and wondering if then-coach Larry Brown would be wearing his velvet bell-bottom suit or his bell-bo...

Ask Amy: Single man wonders if it’s time to rekindle

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 13:28:30 GMT

Dear Amy: My friend “Brian” passed away over three years ago. I was friends with Brian and his wife “Marcia” for more than 40 years.Prior to their relationship and subsequent marriage, Marcia and I were very close friends. We never dated. We just liked each other’s company and had fun “hanging out” together. After a while, she wanted more from the relationship, but I was not ready for a long-term commitment, and shortly afterward, I moved to another state to open a restaurant.I was very happy when Brian and Marcia married; they had a great marriage, and raised two beautiful and successful children.My conundrum is this: I am now in my retirement years, divorced, with grown children.I have been thinking quite often about Marcia, but I don’t know how to approach her to see if she has any interest in rekindling the old feelings she had for me. Over the years I regretted not pursuing her. I was too young and too stupid.Now I see it like this: Life is too short to ...

MEPs say the Serbian Government is pursuing a very dangerous policy with regard to Kosovo and its Western partners, in a resolution adopted last week, Plenary session, AFET.The text, adopted by show of hands, condemns in the strongest possible terms “the hideous and cowardly terrorist attack on Kosovan police officers by well-organised Serbian paramilitaries” in Banjska/Banjskë on 24 September 2023, and urges all sides to de-escalate the situation in northern Kosovo.MEPs are closely following the ongoing investigations by the Kosovan authorities and urge Serbia to fully cooperate and to bring those responsible for the attack who are currently residing in Serbia to justice, including facilitating their extradition to Kosovo.Dangerous policy of Serbia with regard to Kosovo and its Western partnersAggressive military behaviour, together with radicalised political messaging in Serbia and strong indications of the Serbian state’s involvement in the recent political violence in the north ...

49ers report card: Defense is atrocious but offense scores only 17 in second straight loss

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 13:28:30 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS – Here is how the 49ers (5-2) graded in Monday night’s 22-17 loss at the Minnesota Vikings (3-4):PASS OFFENSE: FThis was Brock Purdy’s first game with two interceptions, and both came in the final 5 ½ minutes to torpedo a legitimate comeback bid. Kyle Shanahan complimented Purdy’s overall game (21-of-30, 272 yards) and he indeed was humming along fine. But that closing act was a crusher. Still, Purdy blamed himself for poor anticipation and a bad ball on the first interception to Jauan Jennings (who seemed a tad slow out of his break, but Purdy and Shanahan praised Jennings’ route). On the second interception by Camryn Bynum, Purdy failed to connect with Ray-Ray McCloud. Jennings and McCloud? Why them in the clutch? Because the Vikings’ halftime adjustment wisely took away Aiyuk with double coverage and forced Purdy to focus on the other half of the field. Purdy got sacked only once, a remarkable feat considering blindside protector Trent Williams did not play, so that a...
