September 11, 200916 yr comment_68484 According to Chicagobears.com Two Bears players have switched their uniform numbers in advance of Sunday night's season opener: Rookie safety Al Afalava has changed from No. 46 to No. 24, and tight end Michael Gaines swapped No. 85 for No. 86. Report
September 11, 200916 yr comment_68501 That's a shame, I liked #46 for Afalava. Good to see a strong safety laying people out with that number on. Report
September 11, 200916 yr comment_68504 I liked it too. But, it's time to make #24 a number to remember! That's a shame, I liked #46 for Afalava. Good to see a strong safety laying people out with that number on. Report
September 12, 200916 yr Author comment_68512 Iam wondering if it because of Plank, maybe they plan on retiring it someday or Has been nominated for the hall yet. Iam wondering why the move. Report
September 12, 200916 yr comment_68515 They still haven't retired either Hampton or Samuraii who are both in the hall. Plank was a very, very good player but is no where near their level. He will never get in the hall and they are not going to retire his jersey. Peace Report
September 12, 200916 yr comment_68516 Plank got a defense named after him, one of the most famous in the history of the sport. That's pretty good consolation prize. Report
