Clinton Portis is changing his number

[evendelae]

To #21, for Sean Taylor.

I thought it was a nice gesture. It'll be interesting to see how the team plays through this.

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

Thats really nice.
Portis has always been my favorite RB in the game and thats a great gesture.

Do you have a link on this though?

I havn't heard it. But thats good stuff.

No link. yet.

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

Aight. You must have some inside info then.

Horrible loss though and I hope CP tears it up for Sean.

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

I just read about it on thehogs.net now.

I still havn't seen a link but a Skins fan reported it.

It may be a nice gesture - i see it as him trying to garnish more attention for himself - but im always the optimist

In all honesty - if I was the wife or mother of Sean I wouldnt want to see his number running around the field all the time- it would bring back so many memories and make it hard for me to move on - that being said - Im hoping he had the decency to ask his family if this is what THEY want - cuz its not and shouldnt be about what CP wants to do

Granted his # wont be retired or anything but I dont see anyone using it for awhile - ya know

IDK - thats just me

Keep hating on greatness

I'm sure CP talked to his family since he was in the hostpital with Sean when he died. He has known Sean for a long time now. I dont think this has nothing about him wanting attention at all. You really think he wants attention after one of his best friends just died? Thats just nuts.

That be like if KB died and you changed your screenname from Orangeblue420 to KiethBiship. I doubt it would have anything to do with attention.

Portis is a great man.

I didnt realize they were that close - but I stand by the fact it should be the families decision not CP's

I understand where your coming from, and agree to an extent, but Sean was a part of Clinton's life as well. They were also "family", and I don't see why Clinton needs to ask for permission to honor, in his own way, Sean Taylor.

Well thier family is going to see the #21 on every players NFL Helmet. So I dont know whats so horrible about wearing that jersey number. Theres players in the NFL who wear #21 as well. They arn't going to retire the #21 from the whole league. And Portis is a good guy and was with his dad so I'm sure he had permission anyways.

Portis isn't a jerk like everyone thinks.

Portis isn't a jerk like everyone thinks.

Cp certainly isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but I don't think he's a jerk.

Does anyone know if he's changing it permanently, of just through the rest of the season?
