Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?

[EternalEnigma21]

I just popped over to extremeskins and this was the title to one of the threads... I had him as a friend and looked it up.. its being updated (I loved this picture)




but I'm having trouble getting the whole page to load... probably heavy traffic...

they say that on the page Clinton says hes wearing 21 this sunday... I've been trying to load it for 15 minutes and have to leave... thought I'd share the info I have so someone else can check into it...

linky linky?

Man, this is awesome and brings up a question. I'm glad I didn't need to start a thread to delve into this for a second.

I was briefly thinking about Hall of Fame inductees and how you rarely see guys from the defensive side of the ball inducted. When you do, they are either lineman or linebackers for the most part. Rarely corner backs and safeties are more rare.

Get where I'm going....who was the last person to play saftey for their entire career inducted into the Hall of Fame? Is it possible, Taylor was the first potential HOF at the safety position we've seen in decades?

Can someone please verify this? Maybe I'm off. And before someone says Ronnie Lott, I believe he started his career as a cornerback and ended it at safety.

Right you are 12th. Very few safeties in the HOF. Looks like only three safeties have been inducted who played within the last 30 years- Paul Krause (1964-1979), Ken Houston (1967-1980), and Ronnie Lott (1981-1994). In fact, there are only 9 total safeties in the hall, and two of those also played some cornerback. Sean could easily have gone down as the best ever. In my eyes he is. Here's the link to HOF inductees:

[SmootSmack]

Yeah I looked for the news of him wearing #21 on Taylor's page a few days ago and i found nothing

[EternalEnigma21]

i found it its in my bulletins...

he has one saying thanks to all the fans for the prayers and signs it CP. If its not CP its a fan that sure as hell speaks convincingly..

I'll copy and past the bulletins

I'm "friends" with Portis on myspace too. I think it may actually be Portis and not a fake. Reason being, MySpace is very good about deleting accounts by impersonaters. One of my close friend's had an awful breakup with his girlfriend a while back, and she started a page claiming to be him, saying all kinds of awful things and posting some pretty bad pictures as well. He reported it to MySpace and the page was deleted swiftly. I also know that a lot of younger players do have pages and monitor them regualrly. Jarvis Moss (former Florida Gator, Broncos 1st rd pick this year) is a buddy of mine, and he has a page and loves it. He hasn't had a ton of time for it since being drafted, but I do know a lot of players are into the MySpace fad. I hope Clinton does wear #21 on Sunday.

Plus how lame and depraved would it be for someone to start a page claiming to be Portis and then make comments about Sean Taylor's death?
My guess is that it is in fact CP running that page.

[EternalEnigma21]

I never check my bulletins, and this is the official myspace of ST... Unless someone got ahold of it and is stirring shit... but it sounds like it may be ligit. Anyone have any more insight?

[Tha Posse]

idk, sounds odd

[EternalEnigma21]

actually here's the very first one... it was before he actually passed... makes me think it actually may be clinton:

Date: Nov 26, 2007 11:57 PM
Subject: ALL FANS PLEASE READ THIS IS CP
Body: I have some news from the hospital sean is in serious condition and police are investigating which may turns out to be a attempted robbery.He was shot in the leg but it hit a main artery and they are keeping him in intensive care.please fans i ask of you just keep sean in your prayers and wish him for a well recovery.

The guy doing the Sean Taylor page is Matthew Daniel. He's legit. He did the page before Sean died, and of course, has turned it into a memorial since.

Did "CP" send those messages from the Taylor account?

[MTK]

How can you tell if it's an official player page? There are so many fake ones out there.
