Gronk will be a 1st ballot hall of famer, possibly the 2nd greatest Patriot ever, and possibly the best TE of all time. Maybe that doesn’t matter Belichick.
In a sport where there are 99 two-digit numbers issued and 80 players in training camp, retiring uniform numbers is a bad idea.If you are going to retire numbers, I find it difficult to argue the line should be higher than Gronk.
I think it’s pretty safe now to buy one.I guess I should wait before buying a Mac Jones jersey, but I kinda want to
And David Givens, still one of my favorite Pats ever.Ben Coates wore #87.....
So you are going to reissue 12? My comment was conditional on numbers being retired. The other problem is running out of numbers. Unless we use three digits.In a sport where there are 99 two-digit numbers issued and 80 players in training camp, retiring uniform numbers is a bad idea.
Not a Bad Idea like, “Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, when am I going to make it back to Haiti?” But a bad idea nonetheless.
Obviously not. That is an exception that should be made in honor of Tom.So you are going to reissue 12?
Yes I would. I would have no retired numbers at all in the NFL unless the league moves to 3 digit numbers. It’ll eventually lead to a slippery sloe and you’ll wind up in the situation we’re currently in, where lesser players than Gronk have retired numbers. Besides, there are much better ways to honor Brady. Put his jersey with his name on it under each of the banners hanging in the stadium, for example.So you are going to reissue 12?

Hmmm. Fran Tarkenton, Jimmy Garoppolo, Josh Gordon, who else wore #10?Mac-10 it is.
I thought Josh Gordon already was on that diet?Hmmm. Fran Tarkenton, Jimmy Garoppolo, Josh Gordon, who else wore #10?
In twenty years we'll all be on the MJ10 diet.
There are an infinite number of natural numbers, so why stick with one or two digits. Pats could then retire as many numbers as they wanted to.So you are going to reissue 12?
