It's the Year of Orange Bad in the NFL.
In case you hadn't noticed, here are the current records of every team that has orange in its uniform
Cleveland Oranges 0-12
Chicago Bears 3-9
Denver Broncos 3-9
Tampa Bay Bucs 4-8
Miami Dolphins 5-7
Cincinnati Bengals 5-7
OK, the Bucs don't really count, as their orange moment is the little football on their flag, but I'm counting it because you never know when some team is going to take the tiniest thing and make a big deal out of it. And, don't forget, the Bucs WERE ultra-orange back in the before-time, when they set the record for bad (0-14) and lost 26 games in a row. They defined Orange Bad, a title currently held by the Pumpkin Head gang over in Cleveland. But the Bucs owned it first. Ultimately, in an attempt to exorcise the demons of their Doormat existence, they buried the orange (they also changed their helmets, one of the few teams to ever do that). Now, it is but a hint on a flag. But maybe too much of a hint, and just maybe that orange should take a hint, and a hike.
Anyway, NONE of our oranges have winning records, they're all in the Basement, and this is clearly not the choice of the paint industry, which declared that 'blush' was the color of the year in 2017.
Go Big Blush!!
This begs the question: which of our 'struggling' franchises should get modern and make the leap to the color of the year? What do YOU think?
-Wacko
Dolphins...or SF.
ReplyDeleteyeah, but the Niners aren't even one of our oranges. But...who cares? I have a picture of a Pink Giants helmet somewhere. That's almost "blush"
DeleteOh, I thought you meant which doormat should go blush. Well it should be the bungles after that bullshit game last night.
Deletewell, I think any Doormat can have the blush, as long as it looks good
DeleteMore Orange: Oregon State 1-10
ReplyDeleteisn't that Orange State?
