Re: Portis' Flashy Shoes
 

[QUOTE=amorentz]They actually told him if the violated the dress code [i]in the next game[/i] that he would be suspended. He toed the line for that game, so presumably it back to just a fine until they decide to make a similar threat.[/QUOTE]

They didn't limit it to the next game. [URL=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/13/AR2005111301237.html]Per the WP[/URL]:

[QUOTE]Portis Conforms

After running back Clinton Portis racked up $20,000 in fines for uniform violations last week, the league warned him before this game about [I]future infractions[/I].

Portis was told if he wore different socks from his teammates or deviated from the uniform code in any way, he would be ejected, league sources said, and he complied.[/QUOTE]

We don't have to belabor whether or not they would have actually ejected him. It was a tongue-in-cheek post, but I wanted to followup to clarify. And then to clarify again. And then again.
