Somebody Tell "Teal" To Change His Number Before The Season Start

[John Fox]

I dont even think SF retired 80, so I doubt 89 here will get put on the shelf

SF retired 80. Why wouldn't they? 89 Will probably get retired.

Even if they haven't retired his number yet... Joe Montana, the best QB in the history of the NFL, had his # retired in 2000, the year he went in the HOF. IF they haven't retired JR's # yet, they will once he goes in the HOF next year.

You know what.. it's a fuging shame on the NFL for letting Irvin in (at all!) before Rice got in. That's just pathetic, and shows how much the NFL blows Jerry Jones and the Cowpukes.

Pretty sure Rice didn't officially retire until 2006 so they can't let him in for four or five years after that anyway.

I kind of agree, I can't stand watching someone play lackluster using #26...reminds me of the horror. However, the sooner we get someone to represent that number well the better.

I agree, I never want to see another Panther receiver wearing #89.
