There you go again Box, raising the quality of this board again!

It's no challenge with all the Indy threads.

NFL Rules dictate (but usually aren't strictly followed, except when the NFL forces the Pats to change TBC's etc, or a player plays two positions (Willie has #55, technically illegal at DE, but since he's also a LB, they let him use it) these number restrictions:

QBs 1-19
RBs 20-49
WRs 10-19, 80-89
TEs 40-49, 80-89
OL 50-79
DL 60-79, 90-99
LB 50-59, 90-99
DB 20-49
K 1-19
P 1-19

Just a Point of information. TBC wasn't FORCED to change his number. He asked to change to #95. Also, McGinest is listed, by the Patriots, as a LB. I am pretty sure that is where they listed him when he entered the league as well.

I've had some pretty great calls myself. I called 3 or 4 interceptions last year. I called the Vrabel interception this year.

I even goofed and called a Tom Brady interception. Won't ever do THAT again....

Kind of a moot point when the league "asks" you to change.....
