Ant Hill

I was playing pee wee 6 man football when gale sayers was a rookie. Someone said his # should have been in the 20s, #40 was for DBs. That didn't make sense either

The kid that said that was ten years old
The kid was right. At least #40 is marginally acceptable for a RB (marginal for a HB, totally acceptable for a FB). #60 for a LB on the other hand...
BTW, for those of you claiming #60 is such a popular number for LBs, still waiting on one of you to produce a list of premier LBs (college or NFL) to have donned the vaunted #60 over the past 25 years. Hell, let's open it up to starting LBs (college or NFL).

We are empathetic & forgiving of your OCD hatred for the #60. There IS help for your disorder...should you seek it.

In my day, 40s were for FBs and Safeties. And we liked it. Weee LOVED it.
 
I thought standard protocol was to defer to arguing which barbecue is better: Texas brisket or North Carolina pulled pork bbq?
 
Gilda Radner, as Emily Litella, on SNL:

“What’s all this fuss I hear about ant hills? Ant hills are very dangerous. You must avoid them! Those little ******** bite and sting. And they leave marks on your arms and legs. They itch, and you just can’t get rid of them. I don’t think we should glorify ant hills.”

“Ms Litella, that was Anthony Hill, not ant hills. Anthony Hill, the freshman linebacker for Texas.”

“Oh, that’s different. Never mind.”

If you play good enough then the number doesn’t matter. Not too long ago #0 looked odd.
