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.

What’s wrong with showing some emotions? Stupid article
Wow! Did those mean ol’ Broncos hurt your feelings? So much unnecessary venom in this article. Poor guy.
Did you miss the off season and controversy in Denver? McDaniels was booed at the opening of mini-camps. This was a big win for him as he A) beat his former boss and mentor. Bronco fans loose faith very easily, and a 5-0 start certainly makes the decision to fire Shanahan so much better
The uniforms were horrendous. They looked like something out of a 1960’s Sid and Marty Kroft show.
I would have to agree with the sentiment of the other comments, you are dumping on the Bronco’s for no good reason here other than to try to cut them down.
The uniform’s are what they are – there is a reason uniforms evolve is because thoughts on fashion do. That then means that older uniforms thus look a bit “unsightly” to today’s eye, but the heritage aspect of them is the reason they are being worn – not the fashion, so why crap on that?
Then of the youngest head coaches in the league (if not the youngest) takes a team written off as deplorable to 5 – 0 and in doing so beats his form boss and mentor and the team and organization most regard as the gold standard for the modern NFL, but somehow he is “too excited” by this?
Hmm I am guess there are several reason to celebrate here. You started with the South Park quips so I’ll say with that, I think you just might have sand in you vagina and it is making you irritable.
