I wonder if Elway's number would have been brought out of retirement if Manning wore 7?

Retired number is retired. What's so hard to understand about that? Maybe he should have checked that out before agreeing to come to Denver. Now he has to either change numbers or look like a dick.

He needs to honor the old guy by respecting his number being retired. This is just taking advantage of the elderly guy. If he was dead and unable to say "Oh go ahead and wear it" what would Denver management do?

I've always thought Manning to be kind of douchy, at least from his interviews. This pretty much confirms it

After talking personally with Frank Tripucka in the last half hour or so, new Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will wear No. 18 in Denver.
The number had been retired since Tripucka retired in 1963.
“It’s perfectly OK for him to go ahead and use it,’’ Frank Tripucka said last week from his New Jersey home. “I would be honored to have him wear it.’’
Tripucka’s No. 18 is one of three numbers retired by the Broncos. The others are Floyd Little’s No. 44 and John Elway’s No. 7. Manning wore No. 18 during his first 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.
“It’s been retired for 50 years,’’ Tripucka said. “That’s long enough.’’

And clearly they approached Tripucka first, and put him on the spot. I'm fully convinced now, all speculation is gone. Manning is a dick.

Is the NBA ahead of the MLB here? It's you, Ikki and Giligan. Sometimes I join convos, but it's usually only when the Bulls are in the convo.

The "media blitz" didn't start yesterday or Monday, after Peyton had made his decision to go to the Broncos. Broncos beat reporter, Mike Klis had talked to Frank Tripucka the same day Peyton came to Denver for his first visit - before anyone even thought of the potential number controversy. Klis asked Tripucka what he thought of Peyton using his number. He had the same response as the one we got yesterday.

No its not... Proper order is NFL, NHL, FIFA, WCF, Nascar, WNBA, NBA, Swimming, WCL (world crocheting league) MLB.
We have more people who enjoy soccer, they just don't make constant cry for attention threads like the 3 NBA posters do.

Never saw you in a NBA thread before Lebron got to Miami either.
It ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
There weren't any NBA threads prior to that. Lebron single-handedly elevated the NBA over FIFA and curling threads.
I don't think Lebron has ever done anything by himself.
LOL, such a hater. You just wish NBA Jesus had come to Chicago is all. [/quote]

I have to say that any way you churn it, that this surprises me.
By all accounts I've always heard that off the field, Goober Manning (as he's known in my household) is a stand-up guy, a class act.
Now, I can't see him going to the current retiree and asking (however politely) that he be allowed to wear the number. Having your number retired is a high honor (Ron Santo said, when his retired number 10 was hung from the foul pole at Wrigley field, "THIS is MY Hall of Fame").
I also can't see him accepting the offer if the current retiree came to him and said it would be an honor if he wore his number. I think a number once retired should stay retired.

If he was the class act everyone likes to say he is, he should of politley declined, saying the number belongs to Frank Tripucka and it should stay retired
that would of been the class thing to do
this is also asuming what the spin doctors.. err I mean the Denver Broncos beat writer says is correct

really?
I've never heard of a retired number being brought down off the rafters and handed to another player
Heck, MJ didn't even do it to his own number when he came back

Stolen from Google.
I'm sure that there are a lot of other cases.
Brett Hull's was unretired so his son could wear it.
Mario Lemieux's was unretired so he himself could have it when he made his comeback.
Stev Largent's was unretired and given to Jerry Rice when he joined the Seahawks.
Gary Carter's was unretired when the Expos moved to Washington - they gave it to another player.

did the old timer even realize what was going on? did he remember on his own he even played let alone his number?
if he did, i bet it was only because he was hounded by reporters before the team came to him.
i'm sure there are other examples, but there's only 2 above that fit really.
hull...nah, it's his kid.
Lemieux...uhhh it's HIM! 
Largent was strange, but gave it to the greatest WR ever.
Carter, IMO it's a whole different team when they move, but i can see the point i guess.

pretty sure that was addressed above far better than what you came out with. 
not to mention the Miami number wasn't even for a player, it was for an executive who's favorite player wore #5

His statement was that it never happened.
Mine was that it's a fairly regular occurance.
The thread that I got those from also had some Lions player in 2005 and several baseball players.
Far more often than "never".

his statement was he never HEARD of it happening.
even if it was a statement of just never happening, it's about the same stretch as saying it's a regular thing.
not every year you see this happen, and not exactly made a national story like this either.
dilfer wore a retired number of a 'close friend' also...
as far as the lions one goes, now that i read it i think it's disgusting that they allowed it.
so that makes 4 NFL retired numbers worn...hardly regular.

WTF is a jersey number really going to do for Manning? They retired it as a tribute and are bringing it back because, why? Peyton is superstitious? More talented? What entitles him to undo the honor bestowed upon Frank Tripucka when he has accomplished NOTHING as a Bronco?
What's the point in retiring numbers anyway if you're willing to bring it back for a more talented player? The Broncos are belittling Frank Tripucka’s accomplishments after putting him on a pedestal of elite Broncos and it doesn't seem right to me...
New Denver etiquette for retiring a number;
'Nobody will ever wear your number again... unless we trade for a super star in the future.'
And I don't really care if Frank Tripucka gave him permission, the organization should have more integrity and Frank should never have been put in that position.

the whole huge list you made Chogy, maybe has two question marks on it.. The Nationals are free to do it.. they are not the Expos, and I'm not really sure about Largent
and I never said never like you said.. I said never heard.. meaning if there are, there are only a few small examples.. as you listed
btw, what was Manning's reason for wanting to have the retired number pulled from the rafters?
what was Manning's reason?
oh yeah.. he's a tool

plenty of writers have criticized this too, even read a few today that previously had their lips firmly attached to his ball sack.
i would like to know exactly who brought this up originally.
the team does have the final say, but who proposed the idea to begin with?

Barry Bonds, who wore #24 when he played for the Pirates, was offered #24 by his godfather Willie Mays (MAYBE U HEARED OF HIM?!?) when he was traded to the Giants. He said NFW and switched to #25. Barry Bonds has more class in his pinky toenail than Asshat Manning has in total.

1. Bonds turned down Willie Mays number in San Fran when Mays offered it to him.
2. Because Boaston fans are so humble.

Probably due to Boston fans in general being scumbags.
It is known.

 now i get it...BOAST-on
now back to what matters...
Manning/Elway pulled a douche move.
Alb is butthurt that we all ignored DiMaggio's number being unretired.
Alb finds Boston fans cute...no lets not go there, that makes me a little uncomfortable.
JD is funny.

The pirates front office seems self destructive to me. Always have hope lately, but they trade away their great pieces before the trade deadline most years.

Self destructive? They are geniuses... they keep their costs dirt cheap and overcharge us and we keep coming back for some odd reason.

People make it seem like the Cubs have never won one. We've won two. And the Cubs were also pretty dominant before 1908.
but then again, sports is always what have you done for me lately.

i dont think i've ever heard anyone saying the cubs have never won one, let alone 2,
but you are right, it really is about what they have done lately...and the very early 1900's certainly is not lately!

I guess it's the term loveable losers. They're second in terms of franchise wins behind only San Fran. And have the 6th best winning percentage. we just can't win when it matters.
