Lions retire missing boater Smith's No. 93 for 2009 season

Not to be callous or anything, but why retire his number? Obviously, you put it on the shelf for a while; do something to honour his memory, such as a ceremony, or an award, but I would tend to think retiring a number would be for things done on the field.

ok - now being callous - a kid points to one of the jerseys hanging from the rafters, and ask his dad 'What did he do?' The response would be 'He died'. But what can you expect from that franchise?

Are you willfully obtuse?

You might say, Cory was a an outstanding member of the lions. He had tremendous drive and heart. He was an undrafted player who made it and won a superbowl. See, that is what happens when you work hard and stay positive. But, as good of a player, he was even a better man.

I think it's only retired for the year out of respect or mourning or something. Now if Obama would only dedicate a couple billion dollars to teaching black people how to swim, we wouldn't be having this racist conversation.
