CP To Wear #21 Sunday (merged)

[NicholSkin]

Yeah, I wonder what the NFL says.

They wouldn't even let Jake Plummer wear a sticker to honor Pat Tillman.

[kuraitengai]

I expect CP to be in full on beast mode for the remainder of the year.

most definitely. get ready to see a portis that we've never seen before.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

That's pretty neat.

(Just as an aside, next week is going to be total chaos. The team is going to fly to play Sunday, fly to Florida, and then play Thursday. Yikes. Good thing they are both home games).

[Buford]

They just asked Mr. Snyder and Coach about the #21 and they only mentioned a sticker on the helmet and patch of the Jersey.

Man , I won't be able to hold it back on Sunday. Im sure Ill shed a tear, especially seeing CP out their in that #21.

[HOF44]

I hope it has the Taylor nameplate still on it. And I hope the league let's it go.

[Chris Worthy]

much respect to you Portis.

[kuraitengai]

They just asked Mr. Snyder and Coach about the #21 and they only mentioned a sticker on the helmet and patch of the Jersey.

and he said on every helmet in the league. that would be amazing.

[mom2boys]

Way to go CP! We'll be at the game on Sunday, and I can only imagine how emotional it will be.

[dfbovey]

most definitely. get ready to see a portis that we've never seen before.

Honestly, I really hope so. But I don't think I want to put any expectations on this team or any individual player given the circumstances.

[SkinsWizCubsDukes]

retire 21 at the end of the year.

ST is a redskin this year, 21 needs to be out on the field before he goes up into the ring. Clinton will carry the lead and join Talyor in the ring ultimately.

Run as hard as you can CP

[onnie007]

Class act and I'm glad he's a Redskin. Remember folks, he also helped bring Sean Taylor here. He was in Joe Gibbs' ear about Sean Taylor. I love CP. R.I.P. Sean Taylor

[[[ghost]]]

First, Clinton flies all the way out to Miami just to be with the guy.

Then, he breaks down publically when addressing the man's death.

Finally, he commits the ultimate act of respect and dons Taylor's number.


If there is any one person the entire league should adore, its Clinton Portis.


I hope he gets 500 yards rushing in that jersey this Sunday.

[Cowboys12]

This is probably the coolest thing I've ever witnessed in all of sports. Good job Portis!

[Mr. S]

I don't like the idea. It's a very nice gesture and the intentions are great, but I don't want to see anyone else in that number on the Redskins unless they are related to Taylor.
