ENGLEWOOD Camp Covid officially began at 9:42 a.m. Wednesday on the grassy berm at the Broncos’ UCHealth Training Center. A kid wearing a Phillip Lindsay jersey committed the unforgivable sin of sliding his left foot a few inches beyond the string separating the clean from the unclean.
“Stay behind the rope!” a security guard barked at the 9-year-old. COVID protocols!”
The closest Bronco was Brandon McManus 50, 60 yards away. The kicker turned to look.
Come to think of it, next time I forget to change our kid’s diaper, that’s going to be my excuse: COVID protocols! Same for laundry and washing dishes, or missing deadline at The Gazette.

Bonnie Singleton grew up in rural Wisconsin, in a town so small it made Colorado Springs seem startlingly large.
âNew Auburn is a town of 500. and I graduated with a class of 27 students,â Singleton recalls. âYeah, teeny tiny.
âWhen I moved to the Springs, it was kind of shocking. I lived near UCCS, and I remember having to make a left turn on Austin Bluffs and felt overwhelmed by just two lanes of traffic â and I cried. I had never parked in a parking garage before. Iâm kind of an undercover hillbilly, really. Now, Colorado Springs feels like just the right size for me: Itâs not small, but not a huge metropolitan [city]. Iâm able to network and connect with others while maintaining some anonymity here.âÂ
