David Desharnais Actually Chooses No. 51
Our beloved site founder Robert Lefebvre had it right last summer... it's time for regular players for the Habs to ditch their rookie camp assigned high numbers and choose the lower numbers that actually are still available for the Habs. So with that in mind, it's nice to hear that David...
Burns Notice
Are you a superstitious Sharks fan? Then you're not going to like this. SUSPENSE OVER: With Joe Pavelski wearing No.8 on his jersey, Brent Burns will be wearing No. 88 for the Sharks next season. -@pollakonsharks Hmmm. 88? Really? Are you sure? Not 18? Not 81 or 80? Well maybe I'm reading too...
Angel Legends' Numbers not Retiring
According to Bill Plunkett, the Angels spring training roster has already assigned jersey numbers and the assignments pay little heed to recent Angels legends. Alexia Amarista will be wearing Chone Figgins' familiar Number 9 in Tempe. Infielder Abel Nieves will sport Garret Anderson's #16 Terry...
Chargers By The (Jersey) Numbers: #3
Sorry folks, it appears we're still down in the non-competitive Special Teams numbers. It doesn't mean it's any less of an honor, but it certainly makes for less of a debate. So, which past or present Chargers player will represent jersey #3? Easy. Mr. Consistency himself.... John Carney,...
Chargers By The (Jersey) Numbers: #2
Now this is a fairly obvious choice. As far as I can tell, only one Chargers player has ever worn #2 and he was a heck of a player at that. Correction, Ralf Mojsiejenko also wore #2 as the Chargers punter in the mid-80s (HT: Citer). However, he was not good enough to be chosen ahead...
Chargers By The (Jersey) Numbers: #1
Because I found this interesting, I've decided to copy the idea of another SB Nation blog and focus on jersey numbers of past and present Chargers players. We'll make our way from 1-99 (hopefully doing one each day), choosing a Chargers player to represent each number. We expect up to 99...
Chargers Assign Numbers to Undrafted Free Agents
The Chargers have assigned numbers to the eighteen undrafted players they signed following the 2009 NFL Draft. All but three of them are being forced to change their number either due to NFL rules or because their college number is already taken by somebody on the Chargers team. #64 - Sam Allen...
Playing the Numbers Game: New Vikings Get Their Numbers
According to Access Vikings, the newest members of the team have all gotten their new numbers. Here they are. . .at least when I get that Harvin jersey in a few weeks, I'll know what number is on it. Vikings' Draftees Percy Harvin (WR, Florida) - #12 Phil Loadholt (OT, Oklahoma) - #71 Asher...
Chargers Assign Numbers to Rookie Draft Class
The Chargers have assigned numbers to eight players they picked in the 2009 NFL Draft. All but two of them are being forced to change their number either due to NFL rules or because their college number is already taken by somebody on the Chargers team. #52 - Larry English (Wore #51 at...
I don't see the logic of Olympic basketball #'s
In the Olympics, basketball players are only allowed to wear jersey numbers 4 through 15. I guess the reasoning is that it makes it simpler for referees to signal to their partners and scorers, who often times don't speak the same language. I have heard that the reason why numbers 1, 2, and 3...
