Parrish want's #1

[im4bflo]

I read that Parrish wears #11 because he want's #1.
Why can't he wear #1?
we don't like to see #11 in Buffalo anyway.

NFL has uniform rules and if you are an elligible reciever covering the end of the Line of scrimmage, you need a number in the 80's, or between 11-19.


Otherwise, he would need to report to an official as an elligible reciever on every play

[Charlieguide]

Kid needs to get his head out of college and into the pros. Pick a number in the 80's like a real pro.

[G. Host]

Maybe Parrish really wants to be a kicker. ;) MM likes duo players - maybe he will allow a kicker / WR player.

[Ed]

I believe Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, and Kellen Winslow all wear #11 also.

[taylorj99]

I never understood why rookies would want to make a name for themselves by anything other than their play. It's trivial that he wants a number other than what receivers wear. He's only going to make himself look childish if he pushes this much further.

[Bling]

Is anyone surprised? All his life he got to neglect his education, and slide by. Now he's stupid enough to think the rules will change because he's Roscoe Parrish.

Who said anything about Roscoe wanting to change the rules. You guys are trying to blow this way out of proportion. A reporter asked Roscoe why he chose #11 and he said it was because it was similar to #1, the number he wore in college. So what if he wanted to wear his college number? Most players do. Stop acting like he threw a fit and is trying to cause problems.

He requested the #1, was informed that WR's can't wear single digits, so he chose the #11 since it was the closest. End of story.

What more do you expect from someone from Miami? His agent probably told him regular rules do not apply to him.

[The King]

Kellen Winslow bought #80 I believe

[im4bflo]

Parrish should go for #81 then, anything but #11

[The_Philster]

TE Rod Trafford already has #81..as a matter of fact...all numbers in the 80s are issued

I have a feeling 82 will be available by the time the season rolls around. :;

But seriously, of all numbers from 11 to 19, he had to pick the Cursed one? Didn't anyone tell him that RJ and The Statue wore 11? :doh: I don't want to see that number on a Bills uni ever...and I mean ever...again.

[The_Philster]

Roscoe should be able to buy #81 off Trafford.well he ain't gonna if he doesn't want it :idunno: Besides, Trafford is on the bubble as far as TEs cause at this point I figure Campbell and Euhus are locks...Neufeld has a great shot to stick and then we've got Everett as well..the number should be available Opening Day...which, on another note...isn't it a pain in the ass when players switch numbers? Shaud Williams was #40 last year...#20 now...Sammy Morris wore both #45 and #33 while he was here...and how many people remember that Antowain Smith wore #26 in his rookie preseason...got #23 when S Matt Stevens was cut due to steroids

[Dozerdog]

I'm guessing he's waiting to see if trafford even makes the squad. Why buy a number for 10-20K if you can get it for free in a month?

[Bill Brasky]

You guys are nuts... it's a freakin uniform number... besides, if any of you have played sports, football in particular, you know it sucks when you have to change numbers. Leave the guy alone, it's not like he's made a huge deal out of it like Portis did last year in Washington

[Throne Logic]

Cripes, people, relax!

All this negative angst over a rotten jersey number the poor kid selected. Perhaps he should go commit a feleny to justify the abuse he's taking here in this thread?

Jeez, lighten up just a tad folks. Long way to go before Game 1.

Sammy Morris wore #31 his last year so Gash could have #33. I also dont think the Bills are gonna want Roscoe switching numbers because there will be alot of pissed off fans who bought his #11 jersey, which i saw in a store a few days ago.

I agree, I hated changing numbers even at my low level :laughter:

[Troll Master]

parrish is no good he need to wear number zero instead
