The Denver Broncos: Crazy Coach, Crazier Season, Craziest Uniforms

What in the world is going on with the Denver Broncos? Coming into the season, they looked like they were ready to challenge the Chiefs and Raiders for a one-year stay in the AFC West basement.

The Broncos traded an All-Pro quarterback for Kyle “Neckbeard” Orton. Yes, he of drunken Jack Daniels chugging infamy. That was after they pissed Jay Cutler off by going after a quarterback who wound up with the rival Chiefs. Their star receiver was suspended for two preseason games and demanded a trade. And their offense looked to be the strength of their team. Nobody had been this doomed in Colorado since Kenny McCormick. Or so we thought.

Flash forward. The Broncos are 5-0 and look like serious Super Bowl contenders after knocking off the Patriots. That’s crazy. You know what’s crazier, though — their head coach and throwback uniforms.

First, check out babyfaced Josh McDaniels celebrate like he finally found his first pubic hair after beating the Patriots.



Look, dude, I know it’s Sunday and you just got a big win, but it wasn’t Masters Sunday. You weren’t wearing red and sinking insane putts on a way towards a green jacket. So, why go all Tiger Woods on us with the fist pumping? Save that for the Super Bowl, pal. That is if you ever get there.

Next, check out the Broncos AFL throwback uniforms from the 60s. Yes, that is doo-doo brown and pee-pee yellow. No, not even the late, great Payne Stewart wold have worn those socks. These uniforms look like somebody put Charlie Brown in the blender. Ugh.

With the way things have gone so far, maybe the Broncos should keep acting, and wearing, crazy? After all, it’s worked so far.
