Broncos’ ugly outfits for sale

The talk of the NFL this past weekend wasn't the Cincinnati Bengals' upset of the Baltimore Ravens. Or Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb returning from a season-opening rib injury to throw three touchdown passes in a rout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Or even the ongoing ineptitude of the Oakland Raiders.

No, it was those God-awful throwback uniforms worn by the Denver Broncos in their 20-17 victory over the New England Patriots. You know, the ones with the color of ... uh, um, an unchanged diaper?

Well, now you can own one of those "authentic, game worn-uniforms," thanks to Las Vegas-based J.O. Sports Co.

"We are thrilled to join the NFL in honoring its legacy by making these remarkable, unwashed game-worn uniforms available to Denver Broncos fans everywhere," J.O. Sports Co. president and founder Jarrod Oldridge said in a news release Friday. "We pride ourselves in delivering only NFL-authorized game-worn equipment where there will never be any question as to authenticity or source.

"And to promote this momentous opportunity, J.O. Sports Co. has partnered with the Denver Broncos to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these Broncos uniforms to benefit the Denver Broncos Youth Center at the Crossing."

For more information on purchasing one of the uniforms -- ugly and, worse, unwashed -- go to JOSportsco.com.

• WHO NEEDS GAME FILM? -- Nickelodeon's ratings are up in Miami, where the Hurricanes are undefeated since quarterback Jacory Harris asked his teammates to start watching "SpongeBob Squarepants."

"Jacory called everyone up and said, 'Hey, listen, the only thing we're going to watch on TV from now on is SpongeBob,' " coach Randy Shannon told The Miami Herald. " 'We ain't watching ESPN. We ain't watching CBS. We ain't watching ABC. If SpongeBob can tell you how good you are, then you deserve it.' "

Apparently, SpongeBob was on to something. Miami rallied to upset Oklahoma 21-20, then routed Florida A&M 48-16 last week.

The Hurricanes have decorated their locker room with SpongeBob stickers and posters. Junior linebacker Colin McCarthy told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel some of his teammates have become serious SpongeBob fans.

Said McCarthy: "All the guys watch it."

• BETTER TO LOSE -- Late-night TV host David Letterman was musing the other night about the possibility of a Dodgers-Yankees World Series.

"So now if the Yankees and the Dodgers meet," he said, "the mayors of the two cities have one of those friendly wagers. If New York City wins, from California, we get a crate of avocados! If L.A. wins, we send them a litter of rats."

• GAME ON -- NBC's Jimmy Fallon, on President Obama inviting House members over to play White House basketball: "He didn't even want to play; he just wanted to see Congress pass something."
