    That's good news. Which means Chuck should be a lock for #60.

    And thanks for saving me money. I was just getting ready to Paypal $5 to blurryface.

    Actually, he wore #60 for 6 seasons (1946-1951), and #14 for only 4 seasons (1952-1955).

    Your right. his 1950-1952 cards he has #60 so I should have known that. His 53 card has 14. Well I still say we let Concrete Charlie get 60 and Otto 14

    I just had a seance and we contacted Chuck. He told me to tell everyone here that he's looking forward to seeing the official post recognizing him as the greatest NFL player ever to wear the number 60.

    He says no rush on the post. He's got all of eternity to wait for it. :)

    kenny easley perhaps? hof, defensive rookie if the year, several pro bowls. 80s all decade team.

    was a big fan of largent/warner combo back in the day. they were my default in tecmo bowl when i couldnt get the raiders/san fran. 😉

    just remember kenny laying some absolutely brutal hits as a kid.
