Numbers are Numbers

Dan Snyder has paid a bonus and given an order to Sean Taylor not to change his number for marketing purposes of the new Smoot merchandise. I am starting to think that it's not the players who want to change numbers all the time it's actually orders from the Marketing Department.

Just imagine if Snyder was not so smart then Smoot could threaten Taylor to take him to the Peoples Court and fight over the #21 stating he was the original owner after "Pion". I don't think Taylor wants to step inside another courtroom anytime soon. Taylor might consider a boxing match for the jersey similar to the fight over #26 between Portis and Ohalete, but I don't think that even Smoot would want any of this especially since he just got that jaw unwired from the car wreck. Sources are telling me before Snyder stepped in with his orders that an agreement was met to split the #21 every other game as long as Taylor agrees only to knock down/out Smoot 4 times this season in making plays on the ball.

There are 99 numbers available can't we all just get along? But has Portis said in the past about #26 "it's like Superman without his cape". The most important number to them are their salaries based on the number of digits and we all know that especially with dick, oh I meant Dock.

The only numbers that I care about are the number of "W"'s at the end of this season.
