I don't want to come across as a pro athlete apologist, but I can understand these guys having attachments to numbers.. KWII (while I am glad he's not a Redskin) I would assume wants #80 in honor of his father wearing it in the NFL.. A lot of these guys have worn their numbers for years for reasons unbeknowst to us and if they are willing to fork over thousands of dollars for it then I am not going to judge them for that.. Now as for
Portis

Ohalete, I'm not in favor of 'since I'm better I deserve it' type of thing, but if one of them has a sentimental reason for having it I would hope the other player would respect it.
