Oz just had a senior moment.. He knows who #74 was..

 

[sideon]

I agree about Robinson but not Kobe the perv

Hush child

I'm sure he did. I'm just messing with him.

Depends on who you ask. Pearson and Irvin are both in the HOF and Drew wore it first. I associate it with both of them, two of my favorite players to watch.

Agree, Roger to Drew was first.

Hush child

No

Must be an old head, 88 is more associated with Irvin.

No, it's not, if you know the history of the franchise.

Drew Pearson and Lynn Swann were named as the only receivers to the all-70s first team.

They was funny …

You mean Person's jersey. Put some respect on the OG HOF 88.

That's funny, because Mike got inducted before Pearson.

Yeah but that had more to do with the pervasive anti-Cowboys resentment with some of those old fart sportswriters. Drew should have been in long ago.. and Bob Hayes should have gotten in a lot sooner than he did as well. And DGMS on Harvey Martin and Too Tall.. Far too many great Cowboys from a team that went to 8 NFC Championships and 5 Super Bowls in a 10 year span got caught up in that crap.

I agree. But some jerseys needed to be. Jackie Robinsons comes to mind, so does Kobe Bryant.

Someone explain to me how Jackie Robinson and Kobe are at all similar.

They're not.. except apparently to some fans.. which is fine.. to each his own..

 

[phildadon86]

They aren’t. I was just using another example other than Jackie Robinson. Kobe had his jersey retired in La before he died. Bad to put them in the same sentence. My bad

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I’d imagine there’s some fun in seeing guys…specifically elite guys…performing with your old number

He brought 5 championships to the lakers? Kind of a big deal. Pretty sure they retired it when he retired anyways.

he also raped a girl and was an awful teammate- chased out Shaq - was a headcase - at one point media criticized him for not passing the ball and came out next game and refused to shoot and only pass

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

What does Kobe have to do with this, Ty Cobb is in the HOF and was not a saint in the least.
