Just say you missed it. It's old news anyway. Discussed when this first came out.

Your lame shots mean nothing to me. More of a reflection of your ignorance than mine for pointing out old obvious news you missed and yet refuse to accept.

So over 100 tweets in 1 thread, 9 posts (less than 10%) talk about Burrow's knee and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is positive and that it looks good. Thus, I repeat: not obvious, not well-discussed.

Do you even read what is being written or do you, again, construct nonsense and post as if it is truth?

EDIT* Actually, don't answer that; I'm not going to respond anymore. People don't have to be over the moon with the jersey reveal, when they are dissatisfied with other team, "issues," like the OL, management, practice facility, etc., but fabricating nonsense just to shit on something that some of us fans ARE happy about and excited for, is the most-lame thing of them all.

Elizabeth definitely makes me more excited about the future of the franchise compared to Katie.
Elizabeth seems to be better in touch with the fans and bringing modern perspectives to the organization.
Katie seemed more like all she was interested in was contracts.

Unfortunately, it's probably my least favorite of the three.
Also, I'm sad that there is no Chad jersey on NFL Shop. They only have Burrow, Higgins, Boyd, Mixon, Hubbard.

There is an assumption that he's going to change his jersey number to 3, which he wore in college.
As such, they might not plan to release his jersey until he officially gets the new number.

Oh... I didn't know the rule change with the numbers applied to DBs too. I'd really only read about it in regards to Tee Higgins maybe going back to 5.

Yep. Here are the new number ranges.

Quote:The rule change, proposed by the Chiefs, would allow running backs, tight ends and wide receivers to wear any number from one to 49 as well as 80–89.
Quarterback, punter, kicker: 1–19
Running back: 1–49, 80–89
Defensive back: 1–49
Linebacker: 1–59, 90–99
Offensive lineman: 50–79

Really wish they would leave those number schemes in college and NOT bring it to the NFL. 

There were so many ways this color scheme could have went sideways (witness the unis we've had the past 17 tears as proof), but these are good. Clean, simple, and a compliment to the helmet instead of a distraction from it. Well done. May have to break down and buy a black one.

Burrow on the throne.

The knee scar looks rough.

I do wonder if the color of the numbers on the orange jersey would look better as black with white trim vs white with black trim, and the nameplates being black instead of white.

He needs a Stone Cold Steve Austin knee brace.


Note that Stone Cold actually wore those knee braces because he tore his ACL playing football at Texas St University and PCL while wrestling.

Did you or did you not see the gait you denied existed? I guess I'm struggling to find the answer in all this spin. 

You could have at least came up with something of an excuse for the limp like the direct message I got claiming it was his "pimp walk". I'd appreciate that more than all the lame shots about nothing I care about (you living in Bengals twitter, but "missing" the comments on his limp. You probably just thumbs downed them. maybe you should search that).

Also social media is more than Twitter.

Love 'em. The white pants with orange stripes are a bit odd, but these are clean and sharp.

Better than I thought. Once you see them on the players they look decent. Happy as I thought the original leaks were ugly.

They shoulda included Huber. Instead of Ocho saying “where’s burrow” it should’ve been “where’s Huber?”

Yeah, the black ones look the best IMO. What Reader was wearing.
