Ohalete refuses to give #26 to Portis

Was Portis in camp? What number did he wear?

Coles wore number 87 with the Jets but swapped without fuss to number 80 on his arrival here as Rod already had 87.... ooopppsss, sorry, I keep forgetting, Coles has CLASS.

:food-smil

Portis was wearing #3 all weekend, but that will obviously have to change.

Portis should not made an issue of the whole thing. He should of just asked him and if he said no get another number. There are other good numbers to wear that good RBs have worn.

Iffy has gained a bunch of respect last year when he didnt want to give it to Morton, but even more so now that he won't back down to Portis.......Its Iffy's #, why should he, Portis got the money, so unless some of the green is changing hands, Iffey should keep it

Did Portis really make that big of a deal out of it? I have heard a comment here and there, but form what I heard it wasent really that big of an issue.

I get the impression it isn't an issue. Apparently Portis suggested they box for it - yeah that's really going to happen, I can't imagine ANY coach letting his players beat the crap out of each other for a #!

I agree that Coles has class, but its a little early to be suggesting that Portis doesn't and will make a big deal of this. lets let it play out before passing judgement

....Portis has been around for years and has already proven himself as a hall of famer, but didn't Montana change his number when he went to K.C.? I could be wrong on that, but I thought he had changed his number to #17 or something like that.


Skinsguy,
I might be wrong, but #16 for Kansas City is a retired number. I believe Hall of Famer and Super Bowl winner Len Dawson used #16. The only SuperBowl KC has ever won. So to say Montana is a better person than Portis is wrong.
I seem to recall a discussion between Montana and Dawson about the KC number 16. Montana never used it so Dawson must have told Montana to go........
A little different than this situation.

From what I've read and heard Portis hasn't made a big deal out of it, he's always referred to it in a joking manner, it's not like he's ticked off and pouting about it.

If I was him I'd take another # and move on. He's already offered Iffy an undisclosed amount of money, if he doesn't take it there's not much else you can do.

Portis said something along the lines of "Tell him Portis dont look good in no number 3" or somethign like that. We'll see what happens I guess.
