I'm pretty sure that the NFL set the number requirements for positions as a way for the referees to spot "ineligible men downfield". So, they made linemen wear their range of numbers and it spread from there. Someone out there should be able to shed more light, so feel free.

Instead of giving Bush #5, why not just do away with the insanity of this rule. That would be the smart thing to do. What makes Bush so special that he should be the exception to the rule, even as idiotic as the rule is. Delete the rule. I think everybody agrees it’s a stupid rule.

What next? Maybe someone wants that stupid "prince" symbol instead of a number...the next thing you know it, it's the XFL all over again...NOOOOOOOoooooo....

The reason he shouldn't be able to use #5 is because it isn't the way things work. If the number system was good enough for Barry and Emmitt and Walter, it's good enough for him.

Just throw a little '2' up on the left shoulder. Most of the people in New Orleans will still think it's just a '5' so it will still be a marketing dream.
