Troy Renck: The cold was giving way to the darkness as the Broncos walked to their team bus in Orchard Park, N.Y., the raw afternoon and a sobbing autograph seeker signaling the end of Denver’s season. There is no quaint location when the lights go out, least of all upstate New York with the Bills’ fight song ringing in the ears. It raises an interesting question as the NFL reaches its final four and college football decides its best team: Which pro sports coach will lead Colorado to its next championship? Sean, because delusion is not part of this exercise, Rockies manager Bud Black is excluded.
Renck vs. Keeler debate: Who wins a pro title next for Denver? Michael Malone, Jared Bednar or Sean Payton?
