Tennessee Titans Helmet - Fathead Wall Graphic

New York Jets Helmet - Fathead Wall Graphic

I’m giving you a fair warning Houston. At least a year in advance. Don’t pinch yourself next year when you’re tuning into some NFL football and you notice the Houston Oilers playing the New York Titans in Nashville. Why you ask? It’s the 50th anniversary of the AFL and the NFL will honor the original AFL teams next year.

Tennessee Titans owner, K.S. “Bud” Adams Jr., said he will honor the Oilers teams when they play the New York Jets, originally the Titans, by breaking out the old Columbia blue uniforms.

The Oilers uniforms will make a second appearance when Adams’ team squares off against the team formerly known as the Dallas Texans, now the Kansas City Chiefs. Talk about weird: the two original Texas teams playing a game in Missouri.

What do you think Houston? Will you be happy to see that oil derrick on the side of the helmet again?

Notes:: The original AFL teams are the Houston Oilers (Tennessee Titans), Dallas Texans (K.C. Chiefs), L.A./San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Boston Patriots, New York Titans (Jets), Cincinnati Bengals and the Denver Broncos.

San Francisco 49ers Helmet Fathead Wall Graphic

Mike Singletary was named interim head coach of the San Francisco 49ers after the the team fired former head coach Mike Nolan.

Singletary brings a big name and a long resume to the top job.  The Hall of Famer launched his career as a two-time All-American linebacker at Baylor before playing with the Chicago Bears from 1981-1992. He was voted to the Pro Bowl 10 times, won the AP Defensive Player of the Year  twice (1985 and 1988) and was also a member of the 1980’s All-Decade team.

Singletary got his coaching start as linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens in 2003, where Mike Nolan was defensive coordinator. When Nolan took over the head coaching job for the 49ers in 2005, he brought Singletary over and then promoted him to assistant head coach.

Singletary will have some tall hurdles to clear as he attempts to launch the 49ers out of their current 2-6 rut. San Francisco general manager, Scot McCloughan, told 49ers.com, “I am confident that Mike Singletary’s leadership ability along with his experience as both a Hall of Fame player and coach gives him the ability to turn our season around.”
