The Tennessee Titans will retire the numbers of Eddie George and Steve McNair during a ceremony before the team\'s home opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 15.
McNair wore No. 9 and George wore No. 27. Both played for the Houston Oilers before the franchise relocated to Tennessee in 1997.
\"This is a big moment for me personally, because I love these guys and I know my dad [Bud Adams] loved these guys. He would be so happy and proud that we are honoring them today,\" team owner Amy Adams Strunk said.
\"Together, Steve and Eddie led the Titans to new heights with 80 wins and four playoff seasons together, including an AFC championship and Super Bowl appearance in 1999. I am pleased to announce that no other Titan will ever wear No. 9 and No. 27 again.\"
