Clinton Portis To Announce Retirement

Deuces 26, one of my personal favs, had some good games against the boys and when we needed it the most.

It's a beginning and an end, this is just the new beginning to the rest of my life, the game was great to me! HTTR I'm forever a skin!!!!

Translation: Nobody wanted my lazy ass anymore so I'm forced to quit the game. It's ok though, my pockets straight. For about 3 years at least.


Dude had the chance to get picked up when he got cut here, but he chose to roll into people's camps out of shape thinking he'd be a shoo in to get picked up. I'm glad his ego got knocked back down to reality.

Although I would have preferred to keep Champ Bailey, Clinton Portis played well for us during his career as a Redskin.

He was one hell of a Redskin .. best blocking RB I've ever seen by FAR .. always likable and kept things up beat even when times were tough .. I always think back to ST21 and how Portis, Moss, Taylor were like brothers. He played his ass of for that team through the playoffs .. Much love to Professor I Don't Know .. HTTR

And then added to the 80 greatest Redskins list the next day

Indeed.

he'll always be loved by our fan base. definitely one of the better rbs of his era, thankful for all the plays he made as a redskins.

best of luck to him in retirement, HTTR!

Although I would have preferred to keep Champ Bailey, Clinton Portis played well for us during his career as a Redskin.I don't think we would have made the playoffs in 05 and 07, with Champ Bailey on the team instead of Clinton Portis.

Nice career for #26, definitely one of the best backs we've had

9923 yards rushing
80 TDs

Best blocking back

In no way is he a hall of famer, but he was an above average back who sacrificed a lot in order to buy into Gibbs' scheme. Went from a small, shifty back to more of a grinder... and did it without bitching.
