BBTV Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ESPN just flashed to the Colts sideline and showed a defensive lineman with only a 9 on his jersey. It looked like the second number had been ripped off (or just fell off.) They were talking about Corey Simon at the time, but I was focused on the jersey and didn't notice if it was him or not.No pics, since I saw it on TV. Did anyone else see it? Has a player ever played while missing a number?

griffelh Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 All I'll say is that the Colts are going to be veerrryyy dangerous if they actually have a defense this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 They just showed it again. It was Simon #97.

Guest robpas Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Hmmmm....I thought the reason the NFL phased out screened on numbers was because they weren't as durable as sewn on numbers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Yea I agree they will be nasty if their D can step it up like they did tonight. But then again it was the Baltimore offense they stepped it up against. They're nothing until they can prove they can beat New England, especially in the playoffs.

Andy Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Homeboy was runnin' ragged. The seven was clinging for dear life for a few plays, then I think it just fell off.Colts looked good tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no97 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I do remember a Chicago Bear (I believe Alonzo Spellman) in the early to mid-'90's who lost the white layer of one of his numbers, leaving one number white, outlined in orange (on the navy jersey), and the other all orange. That certainly looked odd...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Hmmmm....I thought the reason the NFL phased out screened on numbers was because they weren't as durable as sewn on numbers..... A screened on number wouldn't be able to be ripped off unless the jersey underneath it came with it.If you are referring to heat sealed numbers and why they aren't widely used any more it is because sewn twill numbers look nicer.

philly97flyer Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The only thing Corey Simon needs to lose is some serious weight. Now I see why the Eagles were so quick to let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The major problem with Simon's jersey is that it should have been a Cincinnati Bengals jersey. Yes, I'm jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon won't be in game shape until week 16, if then. He spent his whole summer on a couch with a cheesesteak in one hand and himself in the other.

Discrim Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I recall during the Arena season, one of the Chicago Rush LBs (either #90 or #99) had one of his back numbers peeling off. I forget whether the number ever came right off though A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 That "7" was holding on for dear life for a while, stretched out as much as it was across that gut. It probably just got tired and let go. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
