The Denver Broncos will be rolling out their original, orange-and-brown "French's Mustard" uniforms, circa 1960, as part of the NFL's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the AFL this season. All eight original AFL teams will wear replicas of their first uniforms for two games this season, both home and away.

The first Broncos uniforms were so despised that the players actually burned them in a bonfire at the conclusion of the season; well, the socks anyway. It's called by many the worst uniform in football history, and joins the San Diego Padres' early 1980s Ray Kroc baseball unis in the Hall of Brown and Gold Fail.

Wait, is that Josh McDaniels holding up a Jay Cutler jersey? I believe so.

The eight former AFL teams unveiled those uniforms – including Broncos coach Josh McDaniels awkwardly holding up a Jay Cutler jersey in the team's original brown and gold colors — during a Tuesday morning press conference at the NFL's Annual Meeting in Dana Point, Calif.

But one thing that flew under the radar is that the referees assigned to those games also will sport some old-school AFL threads — including the classic orange-striped shirt. Can you imagine how great Ed Hochuli's guns will look in orange?

Carter’s relatively rapid rise up the depth chart (he was activated for his first game last week) comes on the heels of the Brigade’s 52-47 defeat at the hands of the division-leading Chicago Rush that dropped its record to 3-10.

Possibly the only man to have played for a major college, the NFL, AFL, af2, the Canadian Football League and been drafted in the majors (Chicago Cubs), Carter's career was derailed by drug use, including an arrest for marijuana possession in Louisiana in October of 1997. It was there that he hooked up with former Cowboy Hollywood Henderson — who's had his own battles with drugs — who is counseling Carter and trying to guide him toward a possible NFL comeback.

"He surrendered, man," Henderson recently told the Kansas City Star of the meeting with Carter. "He said, 'Tell me what you want me to do.' It choked me up. I knew I had to help this man."

Best of luck to Mr. Carter, whom I fully expect to see in a 49ers jersey by October.

On one side of the comically short field sits the San Jose Sabercats; a team who hasn't lost in three and a half months and have won 2 of the last five AFL titles. And on the other side ... the Columbus Destroyers. Um, they were 7-9 in the regular season. I'm thinking a 146-14 final might be in store. This could be awesome!

Anyway, if you're as pumped as I am, It's Still Football has all your ArenaBowl live-blogging needs. Seriously.

Porras told her to put on her two-piece bathing suit, and led her to a loft where he asked her to sit on an exercise ball. He massaged her neck and shoulders then asked her to roll onto her stomach. He fondled her buttocks beneath her bathing suit. Porras kissed her neck, cheeks and buttocks, and told her that if she had questions about sex, he would answer them. She declined.

The girl told police she "felt uncomfortable, but didn't know what to do." She became alarmed when he ejaculated on her. He told her it was massage oil.

Uh ... yeah, that would probably alarm us too. He has admitted to the charges and, after serving his time, will surely find work as an analyst on ESPN AFL games.
