I've got no problem with the NFL changing it's policy on the numbering system. What I do have a problem with is the NFL changing it's policy because golden-boy Bush whined about it. Plenty of players have requested different numbers (Edgerrin James requested #5 I believe three seperate occasions and was denied). How come the system is perfectly fine until Bush complains?

It could have to do with the fact that Bush has promised to donate something like 25% of his take from jerseys sales to Katrina relief if he gets #5. But even that's sort of crappy, because he very well could have donated money from the sales of whatever number he takes.

He could still end up doing that if he has to wear number 25, or whatever.

It could just be a small clause to allow running backs to use single digit numbers kind of like what they had to do for wide receivers.

On a side note, think about all of the running backs that will want to switch.

Ya in my opinion they should have waited a year or so and then announced it the week after the super bowl, instead of making it seem like they did it for Bush. It could be pretty cool though to see some of the numbers incoming players and current players come up with.

ESPN reports the NFL has decided to change their policy regarding uniform numbers. No details of the agreement have been disclosed.

Looks like Bush might get his wish. Not sure if this will effect any skins. Im interested to see the details when released. I hope Reggie Bush is garbage in the NFL. What do u guys think

Can you post the link to that story? Thanks

Because everyone is up on Bush's nuts.

I'm waiting for lineman to want to switch their numbers to single or triple digits.

I'd like to see linemen get their weight as their jersey number. It can be adjusted weekly, so we know who's working out and who's working the buffet line.

Looks like I'll be buying a box set of football cards for the first time since fifth grade! Imagine how valuable those #5 will be if he doesn't get to wear that during the season.

At least he decided to pledge money regardless of the number.

Is there a chance the Saints to could list Bush as a 4th string QB and he could ge the number that way?

724Skinsfan · 05-17-2006, 01:04 PM

Brilliant!

That Guy · 05-16-2006, 09:58 AM

it might only be allowing single digits for RBs instead of just QBs and kickers... in the 60s RBs wore #5.

My question is why didnt EDGE get this when he petitioned the league for number 5 also I believe.
