What numbers should be retired?
Non-Beer Discussion by SLOWRUNNER77
I'll throw in a couple from the NFL, since they're in season, and are the most visible... It's been very odd to see Browns #82. The wizard of Oz was arguably the best TE ever when he retired. At least with him, his current position may explain why his number's not in the rafters. Bears #50. Singletary was one of the best defenders of the generation. Possibly the most heinous - Raiders #81. C'mon man! How many yards does a brother have to gain to get a number hung up?

I didn't know that!! Must have been a pre-Rooney decision.

If the Bengals have a 78 now, that's just blasphemous...

Ahhhhhh.... Reggie.... What good memories.... Good dude, even if publically a little over the top. Even if I wasn't a man of faith, I'd still take his over the top instead of that of 99% of the others in the league.
