First of all - ew. Second of all - until they officially make any changes, there is no need to alter the template.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 11:16, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Elliott Johnson

He already has #43, so NRI Jon Weber can't wear it.-DANO- (talk) 01:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Apparently Weber and Johnson are listed with the same number... This is a link to the Non-roster invitees page, and with one more click to the 40-man roster, you'll see that Elliot Johnson is also listed as #43. Why it's that way, I don't know, but hopefully they'll get that fixed soon... Tampabay721 (talk) 05:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
