Woody Paige was not born in a log cabin.
But, as a baby, he slept in a drawer in the kitchen of his parents’ three-room “shotgun’’ house (with an outhouse) a street away from young Aretha Franklin’s home.
Then, the Paige family lived in a government housing project, with teenager Elvis Presley and his father and mother as neighbors.
Sixty years later, Woody would take over NBA guard Allen Iverson’s penthouse, then NFL quarterback Brock Osweiler’s condo in Denver.
It’s been quite a journey for Paige, the witty and charming commentator on ESPN’s popular and highly-rated rated “Around The Horn’’ and the national award-winning sports columnist for The Gazette in Colorado Springs.
