are the playing positions (qb, hb, rb, de, etc.) still tied to certain number ranges?

Yes, but that only applies to jerseys.

It's money. The league has to approve all uniforms and uniform modifications. It's to prevent someone with a Nike endorsement from putting a Nike sticker on the uniform. It's even to the point that Randy Moss(?) was fined for wearing a non-approved ball cap on the sidelines. The cap wasn't an endorsement, I don't even remember it having any writing on it. |

ah...i see. thanks.
in this case, the nfl should issue a waiver for the entire leam/league to wear tilman's number in memorium. |

Every team wore the number in Week 2, and the Cardinals will be wearing it all season. Plummer has too, against the rules, and said before he'd pay the fines. He was at ASU w/ Tillman, etc...
Screw the NFL, let him wear the damn sticker. |

In Plummer's case I think it's a fitting tribute to a former teammate that died in the service of his country. The NFL is clearly in the wrong on this issue.

Currently, only the Arizona Cardinals have NFL dispensation to wear the #40 on their uniform for Tillman. I don't see why they could not extend it to the entire league. |

Anyone have an email link to the NFL people that make these calls?

NFL = No Fun League.
I'd wear it all year and pay the fine to Tillman's family. Then tell the NFL to go collect it. |

Hey - its a private league. They can make whatever rules they want. But I think its pretty cheap and gutless to say "You can only honor Tillman when we SAY you can honor Tillman." (they had a special honorary weekend about 2 weeks ago) |

Geez, let him wear the sticker or whatever...
You guys hear about Mike Ricci of the NHL Phoenix Coyotes? He was changing his number to #40 to honor Tillman. How classy is that? I just hope there's an NHL season. |

I may be wrong about this, during the Bears/GB game all players had a small #40 on there helmets. Will have to try and finds pics this weekend.

I heard they had patches last season, and now have memorial events and whatnot. I'm not a big NFL guy, but I think that they do in fact have official ways of honoring Tillman.

I speak only for myself, but if this is the stance that the NFL is taking, I see it as a slap in the face to all the people who have sacrificed for our country.
