Re: LeCharles Bentley To Ask NFL If He Can Wear ''00'' <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>New Browns offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley wore a Browns jersey with No. 00 on it at his introductory news conference for a reason. He plans to petition the NFL to allow him to wear double zeroes this season in honor of Jim Otto, the great Oakland Raiders center of the 1960s who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. Otto wore No. 00 because of his palindromic name. "LeCharles loves what Jim Otto represented," said agent Neil Schwartz. "He was hard-nosed, one of the great old-school centers. LeCharles wants to be considered the same way." The NFL's uniform code restricts offensive linemen to jersey numbers 50 to 79. Exceptions to the code have been made in the past. Bentley must put his request in writing to Commissioner Paul Tagliabue.http://www.cleveland.com/sports/plaindeale...ll=2&thispage=3</div>Not that big of a deal, i think the NFL should let him wear No. 00
