  • What's in a NFL Jersey Number?

    What's in a NFL Jersey Number?
    Mar 6 2023

    Do you think a player can just ask for his "lucky number" on draft day? Um, no! Effective in 2021, NFL legislates under rule 5, section 1, Article 2 of their rule book the 6 categories of jersey numbers and which position is eligible for that number. The sheer size of rosters (53 players in total, plus practice squad players) can make it difficult for teams to assign numbers to certain position groups, especially for teams which have more than a few retired numbers. And for whatever reason, stay away from 46!  Of all numbers, 29 is considered "lean and fast." 
    "I'll take 29 for jersey numbers Alex"

    It's Game Time with Lights Out Lytle and the Gridiron Gals - Super Bowl Edition
    Feb 10 2023

    THE BEST EPISODE OF FINGERTIPS ON THE LACES YET!!!!!!

     It’s only fitting that our Super Bowl episode is epic and features the world famous “Lights Out Lytle” aka Chris Lytle of UFC MMA fame. We thought we’d add a “Y chromosome” element to discuss why it’s so important for women to have their own voice in the world of football. Chris shares his thought on whether “trash talk” has a place the pre-game hype, Tom Brady’s likelihood of success in the booth, is Artificial Intelligence needed for officiating, who he KNOWS will win the super bowl and why he’s a raving fan of Fingertips on the Laces. Marketing wizards Becca Presley from Washington State, Erica Knapp from Toronto Canada and Cindy Code from Cleveland Ohio pitch in with opinions on how to improve officiating, tailgate fare, and how they see Sunday unfolding. Kim Hodous is live from Honolulu with her “homer” guarantee for a Chiefs lock win.
