  • Randall Cunningham Doesn't Want To Give Up His #12 Jersey

    Not a big deal, but I find this whole thing kind of weird. If they aren't going to let anyone wear #12, why not officially retire the #?

    Randall Cunningham Doesn't Want To Give Up His #12 Jersey



    Steve Smith wore the #12 jersey for the New York Giants and he'd probably like to wear it here. Currently, no one on the Eagles wears it... so what's the problem? Well, the number was of course worn by a pretty significant member of the franchise, Randall Cunningham. The Eagles haven't officially retired the #12 jersey, but Jeff Lurie said that the team wouldn't use the number unless Randall gave his ok.

    Speaking to WIP this week, Randall made it clear that he's not giving any ok...
    "No, I would not take it for a million bucks," Randall said. "For Jeffrey Lurie to put me in the honor roll like that, that's not something I take for granted. I went out and I bought a ring, like a Super Bowl ring, because of that honor and I put Philadelphia Eagles on it. That's my ring I show everybody. People ask me if that's a Super Bowl ring and I say, 'No. This is the ring they let me know that I was one of the players in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles and they honored me."
    Frankly, I've got no problem with the #12 Eagles jersey staying off the field.

      I hope Randall doesn't mind you wearing it!

        I wonder if they will do the same with McNabb?

          I have no issue with what Laurie did. I guess it is a semi-official retirement of the number that isn't permanent. I wonder if any other players have this option currently?

            I think that picture is of his son who drowned in a bathtub, very sad.
            Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd kill you and everyone you cared about!
