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)

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.

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.

I think that would be a team descission, not goodell's.

The point is that if he decides to wear the jersey to honor his friend, no one is going to stop him. That's just my opinion from what I've seen of his attitude so far. I can't see team officials telling him not to wear the jersey. I hope it happens. The man deserves as much of a tribute as possible and that would be a nice way to do it.

I didn't hear anything in the press conference about Portis switching his number either.

It wasn't in the press conference. Chick Hernandez has been outside Redskins park all day, and he announced it live on Comcast shortly before the press conference. Whatever time I posted this thread, it was announced about 2mins before that...

Portis is a class act and good friend...

Ijaeger · 11-27-2007, 05:12 PM

I hope he wears it with "Taylor" on the back.

Clinton WILL NOT wear Taylor's number... he said so today in his press conference at Redskins park... its on redskins.com if you need to hear it for yourself...

He says all he can do is play his heart out.

I guarentee you that someone said something to Clinton that made him change his mind..*cough Goodell

Dlyne8r · 11-27-2007, 05:14 PM

I hope CP follows through with this. I personally don't mind and think it is an awesome tribute to a fallen friend and teammate.
