Well, we don't retire numbers. But yeah, we unofficially do.

Jaylon wearing #9 might've been more offensive, and Romo wasn't even a HOFer.

True but they just had a retirement press conference for the guy, parading him around as an all timer (deservedly so). At least wait a year. The body isn't cold yet even.
Right, I was (and am) totally against giving out 54. Or 33. Or others that they still hand out.

yeah. They made 88 a thing and then Jerry pretended it would magically bestow success. We can avoid that with others.

I don't mind giving out certain numbers like 77, 54, 33, 94, even 22, 8, or 88. But there should be a grace period, and certain numbers should only go to special players (or at least pedigreed players like Dez), not casuals like the Nate Jones types.

Thanks Geng, I'd forgotten all about spare-ass Parakeet Jones. :doh

LBer only person to save game from TD run but sees 77 and gets sat down.

Similar to XXX pulling Larry Allen/Greg Lloyd
