theSLVRBCK Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Didn't make it through all the pages ... but these are the ones that came to mind for me.Greg Maddux as a Cub...Fred Taylor as a Patriot...Mark Brunell as a Packer...or a Jet...or a Redskin...or a Saint...Tony Boselli as a Texan (even he looks like he didn't like it)...Jimmy Smith as a Cowboy...and this one still doesn't look right...

theSLVRBCK Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 So you think more respect comes from putting a guys name on a plaque than not letting anyone wear his number? Also, forgot this one.Torry Holt as a Jaguar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxSteeler Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 A team retiring a number is the samething as putting that player in their hall of fame. I understand both sides of it. It's impossible to do with dynasty teams. the steelers retired only one number and that came per-dynasty era. There is no way they can retire all the HOF players' jerseys. With that being said they no longer give out certain numbers like bradshaw's 12. There hasn't been another 36 since Bettis. #86 may be another to not be handed out. They can still be handed out though. Swann and stallworth both get handed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Retired numbers should be done away with, more respect can be paid through induction to either Pro Football or team hall of fames.I've heard the opposite argument: some feel that having your jersey number retired is even more significant than making the Hall of Fame. Since usually (not always), retired jersey numbers are given to those players who spent their entire career with one team and helped to bring said team one or multiple championships.The only thing I disagree with is league-wide retirement. While I certainly understand and appreciate the impact that players like Gretzky and Robinson had on their respective leagues, I still feel only the teams those players actually played for should retire their numbers.

jc... Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Retired numbers should be done away with, more respect can be paid through induction to either Pro Football or team hall of fames.I agree. I think I would rather see some rookie QB, let's say for the 49ers, look down on his chest and say, wow, I'm wearing Joe Montana's number. It doesn't disrespect what that player did, it honors what he did. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It's like USC. They have the ring of honor, but still issue the numbers.Plus, when you have more than half the numbers taken on an active roster, and them limited by position, retiring numbers is a bit problematic in the NFL.

For awhile, I actually liked them, mostly because I was twelve when they first debuted. I think that pattern was the manufacturer's (Nike?) way of getting around the rule that their logo could not be shown. I suppose this was MLB's way of making sure manufacturers did not start making these designs, rendering the undershirts un-"uniform" as a Nike-sponsored teammate's pattern would greatly differ from reebok-sponsored teammate's pattern. Good idea, MLB.

I realize it is a different sport, but I believe Dale Earnhardt Jr said it best with this quote from scenedaily.com, ?I don?t look at the numbers tied to drivers as much as just the history of the number,? Earnhardt Jr. said Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. ?The number is more of a bank that you just deposit history into." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
