I guess Reggie is a believer in numerology. If allowed to choose any number, I would wear #8. It's my favorite number, not sure why. I'm curious as to what #s other FReepers would choose.

When I was playing ball I always chose #2 or #22. It was a reminder to me to play harder (remember the old Avis commercials?).

Maybe he can be number 5 in Arena Football.

Bush will be the number one draft pick in this year's NFL draft. But he has other commitments that will prevent him from playing until the 2009 season.

LeCharles Bentley, the new center for the Browns, is supposedly petitioning to be allowed to wear "00", which hasn't been seen in the NFL since Hall of Fame center Jim Otto retired.

Did you know that Ted Kennedy claims on his congressional website that he was almost a Green Bay Packer?

25's a good one. I like how it kinda looks the same forwards and backwards (8 has that too). I also like 9 (I'm a fan of the crazy number 9, for all the answers you may find, it all comes back to 9--4x9=36, and 3+6=9, and so on). Also, the music they could play when I came out would be the Beatles' Revolution 9, the part that just keeps saying "#9, #9, #9..."

I wonder why the officials need to differentiate between offensive skills players. An RB can pass the ball the same as a QB, are they restricted from kicking the ball? I can see the o-line having different numbers, but I don't quite understand the differentiation between skills players.

I'd choose either #8 (Cal Ripken) or #19 (Steve Yzerman) :)

What the hell does THAT mean? Reggie Bush isn't the cure all Houston fan is hoping for, but he's WAYYY too good to be in the AFL.

It's pretty pompous to come into the league and think the rules will be changed for you.

I've got to start reading more than just the headline. I couldn't figure out why George Bush would be more appealing if he wore Chanel #5.

Also, I can't believe we're to post 15, and nobody has chosen to wear #69...or #77 because it's eight more than 69.

Oh please. It's pretty pompous to say that he can't at least try to get the same number he's always worn. It's sports, not life or death.

It's unlikely that the NFL will accomodate him, but it was worth a shot.

Maybe Subway can help broker the deal for him.
