Hello Jaime. I’m a longtime listener and just love the show. This is my first time writing in. I'm recently divorced and ready to get back out there. A guy at work asked me out. We've worked together for a couple of years. He’s a great guy. Smart, very funny, and easy to be around. He’s got a cute face, but the big drawback for me is that he’s overweight. I know that sounds mean, but physical attraction is important in a relationship. Would it be terrible if I told him I’d be open to dating him if he lost some weight? I can’t avoid hurting his feelings. If I turn him down, his feelings will be hurt. If I mention his weight, his feelings will be hurt but at least he has the power to do something about it. I’ll be honest…if the roles were reversed I’d be livid if he ever said anything about my...

Editor’s note: This is the seventh in a series of NFL draft previews as it relates to the Broncos. Today: Edge rushers April 10: Quarterbacks | April 11: Running backs | April 12: Wide receivers | April 13: Tight ends | Friday: Offensive line | Tuesday: Defensive lineThursday: Inside linebackers Broncos’ in-house offseason moves: None.Under contract: Randy Gregory (four years), Nik Bonitto (three years), Baron Browning (two years), Jacob Martin (two years), Jonathon Cooper (two years), Christopher Allen (two years), Aaron Patrick (one year).Need scale (1-10): 8.

How should the leader of a champ that looks very vulnerable react?Will Bednar consider breaking up the MacK and Mikko show?“Yes, for sure,” Bednar said Tuesday, after the home-ice advantage his Avs worked diligently for all the way through the final minutes on the final night of the regular season was effectively erased by the Kraken.This is one of those tough decisions that weighs on t...
