Darnell Savage is one of the players that everyone is very excited for this season. He is a kick-ass safety who has real potential to be a star in this league. The last name alone makes you think of a beast on the football field. Also with the last name plus the position he plays, Savage could wear ’21’ which is the name of a famous rapper ’21 Savage.’ He did for a day or two as the Packers announced it on Sunday only to pull it back on Tuesday night to the dismay of everyone except those who have ’26’ jerseys hanging in their stores. Let’s investigate why.

The first and most logical thought is that NFL would not let a first-round rookie make that switch since jerseys are already out in production. That’s most likely what happened, but let’s play along a little bit. Another theory is when Mark Murphy’s assistant told him about 21 Savage, he or she played for him some of his classics and things went sour from there. Third, Charles Woodson is getting his number retired. I don’t believe that one for a second, and if you do, take the tin foil hat off for a little bit.

Charlie.
