Tony Dorsett’s son upset Cowboys let players wear No. 33 jersey
By Mike Dyce
The Dallas Cowboys don’t retire numbers, but it seems like some sacred numbers get certain treatments. Players won’t wear certain numbers that are sacred, and other sacred numbers are passed down to specific players, like Dez Bryant wearing the No. 88 jersey Hall of Famer Michael Irvin made famous, and Drew Pearson before him.
Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett wore No. 33 during a stellar career with the Cowboys, and that number is still in circulation. Most recently, rookie safety Ryan Smith out of Auburn has worn the number, and Dorsett’s son is not too thrilled about it. He has taken to Twitter to voice his displeasure.
Man I HATE seeing any1 wearing the #33 jersey for the cowboys!! No respect is what it boils down to! Let Jerry tell it they don't retire #'s

I still haven't seen any1 in #22, #12, I am sure #88 would be in the group if he never had any off the field issues.

I guess in all these years no cowboy has wore or wanted to wear those #'s for the cowboys. #yeahright
