I’ve always been amused by players and their numbers. Some are very superstitious when it comes to the sewn digits that reside on the fronts and backs of their jerseys; so much so that they will pay a teammate cold hard cash to land the number they hold nearest and dearest.
Other players could care less. They see it as just a number and nothing more. Shady McCoy is not one of those guys. A couple days after switching from #29 to #25, McCoy has reverted back to the #29. Strange.
I suspect the curse of Lorenzo Booker scared the @#$% out of Shady. The stench of failure must have been potent. Rather than risk any of LoBo’s stink rubbing off, LeSean elected to stick with the number he was given after being drafted. Makes sense. After all, he tore it up during training camp wearing #29, so why test fate?
Booker might have tainted #25 from now until the end of time. If I were the Eagles, I’d box the damn thing and stow it in the same warehouse housing the Ark of the Covenant. If not, there is an excellent chance the specter of Booker will haunt the halls of NovaCare for years to come.

I told you guys...they should have kept Booker. He wasn't given a chance. They could have used him today. Westbrook is washed up and McMcoy sucks. Raiders 13 Eagles 9...ha ha. Reid and the Eagles are terrible. Look out!!!! Here come the Redskins.
