Tsaikotic Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 maybe he'll be the first person in the NFL to wear 100...just a thought.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Someday Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 maybe he'll be the first person in the NFL to wear 100...just a thought.. On this thought, let's bust out the old "00". Has anyone wore that # since Jim Otto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 is 99 available? you're not serious are you? lol!! Maybe Mario could ask reeelly nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 As a preliminary matter, has Mario said he WANTS 90? He probably does, but are we jumping the gun here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Smith's Arm Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Interesting to watch how this goes. i bet i am in the minority. A) Williams should not even ask B) no one should have to give up their # after playing with a team for so long. if it were two rookies, let em work it out sure 3)why would Mario want to memorialize his texas past? he needs a new number for himself. Wondered if anyone has some other suggestions? Hope you do not mind my question, Allstars004. I think I couldn't care less, and hope neither guy actually gives a...crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 On this thought, let's bust out the old "00". Has anyone wore that # since Jim Otto? Ken Burroughs wore double-ought in Houston throughout the '70s and into the '80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) In a related jersey number incident, apparently Peyton Manning will be wearing jersey #18 for the Broncos, even though it was retired. Frank Tripuka was the first ever starting QB for the Broncos, threw the first TD ever in the AFL, was the first QB to throw for over 3000 yards in a season, was an AFL All-Star in 1962, and played four seasons for the Broncos. Tripuka, at 87, allegedly has given his approval for Manning to wear his retired jersey number. His career stats for the Denver Broncos were absolutely amazing! 51.8 completion percentage 51 TDs with 85 INTS and the team record of 13-25-1 He played 15 professional seasons of crappy football in three leagues for an assortment of lousy teams who gave up on him. http://en.wikipedia..../Frank_Tripucka http://www.pro-footb.../T/TripFr00.htm He is also the dad of hoop player Kelly Tripuka.

BillsWatch Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Don't forget the business side. Hell wear some other number this year maybe next. Then change to 90. They will sell a whole lot more jerseys that way. That is what I think will happen. Maybe they will agree to share number one wearing for home games and one for away. NFL would get annoyed with that but there is no RULE against changing numbers like changing names where you need to get notice to NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 1332130582[/url]' post='2413889']I think he Mario should wear #78. Let Kelsay keep 90. Definitely not. Never again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Definitely not. Never again I beg to differ. I think it would be an honor for both Williams and Bruce. It's like saying hey, you were out best defensive player ever, now your number serves as an emblem of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missthe kgun Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Whoever has the most career sacks should get the number of his choice!!! You get what you earn where I'm from!!! Go Bills!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered if anyone has some other suggestions? Hope you do not mind my question, Allstars004. Some of these points have a nice ring. However Kelsey racked up his longevity by default, the D languishing in the bottom 5 for his entire tenure. If he lead us to a lousy wild card one year maybe.

kickedface Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 no player should wear 78. there are plenty of other numbers that mario can wear. though i think that he will be wearing 90 as kelsey jersey's probably aren't in high demand and i know i'd like a williams jersey. with 90 on it. kelsey can have a different number.

NFL would get annoyed with that but there is no RULE against changing numbers like changing names where you need to get notice to NFL. I know your weren't serious but there is actually a rule about number change and it is the same as the last name one.

It's like saying hey, you were out best defensive player ever, now your number serves as an emblem of success. You can beg if you want, but it falls on deaf ears. It's not an honor for Bruce in the least. How is it an honor for him? Because they gave his number to the leagues highest paid defensive player? Mario is a very good/great defensive end. Bruce is the best defensive end of all times (according to me anyway). It's an honor because we took his number out of retirement and gave it to a guy we hope and pray can be 75% of the player Bruce was? I just don't understand the logic behind someone thinking its a honor to Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjatcreek07 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 With all that money Mario is making I'm sure he could buy it off of Kelsay if he really wants #90 so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
