Ive always wondered, but Im watching the CFL game on ESPN and saw a player wearing the number/non number 0. Always wondered this though.

Not cool man, you should really think about how you come at people before you talk.

I apologize. I don't know anyone who wore 0. Happy?

I think Ken Burroughs (sp?) wore 00 for the Oilers.

Numbers 0 and 00 are no longer used, though they were issued in the NFL before the number standardization in 1973. George Plimpton famously wore 0 during a brief preseason stint at quarterback for the Detroit Lions. Jim Otto wore number "00" during most of his career with the Oakland Raiders. Wide receiver Ken Burrough of the Houston Oilers also wore "00" during his NFL career in the 1970s. More recently, linebacker Bryan Cox wore #0 in the 2001 preseason with New England; for the regular season, he switched to #51.

I know its not a big deal, just saw the guy in the CFL wearing 0 and thought about it. But some of the biggest NBA players wear 0 as well, just always wondered about this.

Mr. Personality took Dorothy Tiger Nation 84 to a nice seafood dinner and never called her again.

You should definitely go to the tiger rant and start a thread asking why players at LSU don't wear visors

I don't think it's a legal number any longer. At least for the NFL which has strict number requirements by position.
