Thought this article was interesting, given how we sometimes forget the players who leave our teams.

"Although he spent eleven years as my quarterback, through good and bad, McNabb’s Philadelphia Eagles jerseys (I have two, since the first one got worn out after too many washings) have found their way to the ‘exile’ portion of my shirt rack.

A month ago, after I purchased my Kolb jersey, I decided to create a symbolic moment out of the change-of-guard. I placed the Kolb jersey, a refreshing shade of midnight green, in the front of the rack, while I grabbed the two McNabb jerseys, they of faded green and tattered print, with the intent of reuniting them with James Thrash, Todd Pinkston, Freddie Mitchell, Duce Staley, Corey Simon, Lito Sheppard and others who he once led."

I wore my Sheppard until I got a McNabb, then I got Maclin..

McNabb’s jersey is not retired.

thats Cobb on Kolb crime if you ask me... as said by yophillybro

"I'm trading Kolb to Buffalo for Cribbs"- the brilliant Trade Kolb

"Please notice the difference and proceed to suck your own tiny ass cock. Secondly, A simulator shows how things COULD go, not WOULD.. Once again bend in half and do the deed.." From me.. To CNCITINFO.

my understanding of "Old Players Jerseys"

has always been, that you have 1 year to replace it with a current player. After one year it is not acceptable to wear that jersey, unless it is considered a “legend” jersey. But even if it is a “legend” you are still expected to own 1 current roster jersey!

i currently have Vick, Celek, Gaither on the 2010 Roster
in my collection i have(in no particular order) Cunningham, Hoying, Staley, Watters, Joyner, Owens, McNabb(yellowjackets), McNabb(Green), Dawkins(White), Douglas, Westbrook, and LJ Smith.
