I can't believe he got a real restraining order to wear the number. Hilarious.

If I remember correctly he (&r the team) also lied about the fact that he'd be a part-time TE to get the number assigned in the first place. It was only after he played zero snaps on offense that the NFL pulled the plug on him wearing that number.

You are correct kidhawk. I was always hoping they would allow him to wear 44. The Bo Jackson play would have been different dammit! Not really but...

DB, not TE. The Seahawks said they might list him as a safety so he could legally wear #44.kidhawk":82ou5qrq said:

Don't even get me started on Bosworth...
I have my issues about how that player was handled from a coaching standpoint, and from a strength and conditioning standpoint. Back in those days, the correct amount of money and/or emphasis was certainly not paid to keep players healthy physically, let alone mentally.
Had Bosworth worn some of the cool-ass shoulder pads and braces they have now, and had access to the nutritional, and weight-room training, and even the mental health stuff the team has now, he would have been our version of Ray Lewis. As it turns out, ownership didn't invest in what they needed to keep any player healthy, and it showed.
All through the 80's in particular.

Actually they toyed with the idea of a new position (if only in name) of Monster DB. It obviously didn't fly.

Kenny Easley paid the price of the team having such bad medical staff. It is insane that they had to trade hin to find out his kidneys were failing due to all the drugs they were putting in him.

44 Blues was his company. That is why he wanted 44.

If that new rule flies then the Hawks can retire Boz's #44.

love the BOZ and I defend him every chance I hear someone call him a bust or bring up the Bo Jackson play. Love Bo too btw.

Actually that was his number in college and he didn't start with the 44 blues until the NFL said he couldn't wear 44 anymore. At least that's my recollection.seabowl":1i0aqh2o said:

I remember Julian Peterson wanting the number 44 as well. I believe he stated that he wanted everyone to know that he could still run a 4.4 40.

Mike McCormick labeled him a monster DB. Remember how pissed fredd brown was that the Boz got all that $$$?

Boz's tiny hands are clapping right now.
Meanwhile, his tiny feet are taking him to the set of a less than B rated movie.
