PrintThe official site has up an interesting interview with Bears equipment manager Tony Medlin. Nothing real special, just some behind the scenes stuff on getting the Bears ready.
Has a player ever asked for a jersey number that’s retired, like No. 34 for instance?
That has happened. Someone asked me for a 28 [retired for Willie Galimore], never a 34. Most guys know about Walter Payton’s number. That’s a given.

That was an interesting interview
I found that first answer interesting, about how he lets Vets resolve the issue of when two want the same number. He “let’s them talk” to one another. Oh, to be a fly on that wall! That’d be a youtube I’d pay to see (not very much, mind you, but I throw a little jack to see).
I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something. - Dick Butkus
It would have been great
to get a name if somebody had asked for Walter’s number.
