UPDATE: Portis Will Not Be Changing To #21

bridaman51 · 11-27-2007, 04:56 PM

I agree the number 21 should be retired, but I also think that CP being so close to Taylor should finish the season as 21, in taylor's honor and memory and retire it after the season. 21 started this season and 21 will end it. I also beleive it will help the team, friends, and family with the grieving process.

Helmet stickers.

I guess if they aren't going to retire it than this is the next best thing.

I always liked Clinton's class act attitude. Good Job man. Wear it proudly.

Agreed. Portis should wear it through the season and then it should be retired.

Finish the year as 21. It is a great tribute. And I swear if they try to sell a Portis 21 jersey I will stop cheering for this team. Unless they contribute the proceeds to charity.

i agree with the through the season thing but will respect and appreciate whatever portis and the team decide to do...

i just still cannot believe this.

Meks · 11-27-2007, 05:23 PM

like the move.... clinton will wear it with pride.

THATS EXCELLENT PORTIS! Thats good news on a very cloudy and sad day.

(yes it is cloudy in California where Im at. ....I still can't stop crying though it's an incredibly sad thing that happened)

I think Clinton will wear this with pride and respect. Great move by CP, I'm all for it.

BleedBurgundy · 11-27-2007, 05:35 PM

What a great gesture by one of our true leaders. I hope Portis tears it up on Sunday. I want him to have the game of his life.

hard to find some happiness in today, but this just made me smile

After watching the presser with Joe Gibbs & Dan Snyder on comcast, the asked about ST's #21 and if any plans for the number.

As I recieved the message there is no plan at this time for anyone to wear the #21. Other than around the league stickers on the helmets.

I guess we will have to see if CP wears ST #21 or not, or if their is some sort of number change for CP?

Portis has paid thousands of dollars in fines to wear different color socks. I don't think that Goodell could come up with a big enough sum to keep him from putting on # 21 if that's what he sets his mind to.
