While I'm quite sure it's not the first time Charles Darwin has been used for comparisons to NFL football, I'm pretty sure never has he been used as a mnemonic device to remember jersey numbers. Kudos and next level shit Ken!

I'm too old for this. Years ago, I had a really good memory. I can hardly remember those days.

Easily the most creative and well-researched article yet! My 1989 Diss Track now has 4 views. The highlight was the random Viking marauders. Looking forward to the 2nd half of the series!

Taylor Swift, Gilmore Girls, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Succession -- this one has got it all! I'm looking forward to the defensive numbers. Keep it up, KenJoe!!

This was very funny, Kenneth!!! I like Estridge, Freddie, Cross, and many others. Are u serious that you worked at a Casino? Well it’s legal to bet on football now. Surprised you haven’t covered that corner.

Some people called DareKe Young the DK of D2. 99 (the largest available jersey number) - 14 (DK) - 2 (D2) = 83.

Cade Johnson has been compared to Tyler Locket, but it's not half of it (8), so he compensated adding another 8 to his jersey.

A clever foil taken to the fullest extent is always more difficult than expected... =)

I'll save assigning rooms on the annual 'Hawks house roster to new jersey numbers *after* final cuts.

But thanks for the wild & wacky assortment of mnemonics.

Interesting 'Seaside' details floating amidst the collection of factual driftwood :

- Did you ever frequent the Whistle Stop...? Visit Jimi...?

- Graduated from Hazen, grew up near the future VMAC.

- Bluffside (Pedro/PV) for the "go" years, then a rural farm in Europa.

'Thought Bubble' : It will be interesting to observe how long the team waits before "retiring" #'s 3 & 54, given how many years Wilson & Wagner's careers both seem likely to continue. Especially the rebranded "Let's Ride" Russ (tm), if all goes well for the first year (or two) at Mile High.

"Paul Newman starred in another movie as a reluctant hero: Cur Han Luke." (too much, in a fun way)

Sometimes insane is good. This is one of those times.

Beyond that I have two comments.

Exhibitionism? Saucy!

72 has to be my favorite. I’m a simple man and I like simple things.
