WTF?

Until yesterday, the San Diego Padres had been thought to have the ugliest uniforms in all of sports history.
The NFL has a history of off-putting uniforms.
(Does anyone remember the '70's Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniforms of Doug Williams, Jimmy Giles, Ricky Bell, et. al.?)
But I guess the Denver Broncos decided to take the game one step further.
Even their coach couldn't stomach the idea of wearing a color scheme and design that went beyond the ridiculous.

One has to look to fictional sports franchises, like the Pittsburgh Pisces of The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (Really, Dr. J?), to find the only worse example of uniform design.
The Pieces' uniforms were so poorly designed that when their color scheme was the question on an old ESPN game show ("Whose team colors were; pink, orange, teal blue...") - "The San Francisco Sodomites" was the contestant's answer.
NCAA
1 Florida - A nice win against former number four LSU.
2 Texas - Beat a so-so Colorado team.
3 Alabama - Beat Mississippi
4 Va Tech - Whooped Boston College
5 USC - The Trojans return to the top five in their off week.

If USC wins out, Florida beats Alabama, Texas stumbles against Oklahoma and Va Tech chokes in their usual manner - USC v. Florida for the title.

Bumble Bee Yellow and Brown never really seemed like a good color combo.

USC has to always get a random act of God to get into the National Championship game!
