BringBackFergy Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 More ammo. https://www.thefactsite.com/number-17-facts/ According to research done by MIT the number 17 is the most common randomly chosen number between 1 and 20. This isn’t a completely random occurrence, either, as MIT has tested this theory a number of times with the same result each time! Quote

Most Westerners are weird about this kind of stuff, so you'll get downvoted, but I always appreciate an open-minded person! In my mind, "17" has been everywhere around Josh. 17 year drought. 17 passer rating in the Falcons win. etc. etc. The number follows him around, so in my mind it is meant to be. He should stick with it. Quote
since79 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Interesting. One of the best 17’s ever, if not the best, Hondo was not a starter. (youngsters look nickname up) Best 6th man ever in Basketball. He resurrected many Celtics games in his day. HOF career off the bench. He won championships and 17 did not hold him back. Josh should stay 17. As an athlete he will redefine the number Edited February 1, 2022 by since79 Quote

BringBackFergy Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 "Most people in the world would consider the number 13 to be the most unlucky number, but this isn’t the case everywhere. In Italy, the number 17 is instead considered unlucky, and it goes back to the age of Romans. In Roman numerals, 17 is XVII, which when rearranged becomes VIXI. In Latin VIXI means “I have lived”, which essentially means “I am dead”. Alitalia, an Italian airline doesn’t have a row 17 for this very reason, and some hotels do not have a room 17." Pretty sure this seals the deal. Before you attack me, do your own research. How can you argue against Roman history? Quote
hondo in seattle Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 The QB with the highest playoff passer rating in NFL history wears #17. 17 is a great number. Quote
