Re: Clinton Portis to switch to #21

Great way to honor a fallen brother. He will wear that #21 with HEART & PASSION.

I'm sure Sunday that heart will be mighty heavy, for all of us at the game seeing CP wear that #21.

Perhaps Portis can wear it for 1 game and then it can be retired.

Re: Clinton Portis to switch to #21

I agree the number 21 should be retired, but I also think that CP being so close to Taylor should finish the season as 21, in taylor's honor and memory and retire it after the season. 21 started this season and 21 will end it. I also beleive it will help the team, friends, and family with the grieving process.

Agreed. Portis should wear it through the season and then it should be retired.

I like this idea the best. It would be the greatest way to honor our friend.

Re: Clinton Portis to switch to #21

I guess if they aren't going to retire it than this is the next best thing.

I always liked Clinton's class act attitude. Good Job man. Wear it proudly.

Finish the year as 21. It is a great tribute. And I swear if they try to sell a Portis 21 jersey I will stop cheering for this team. Unless they contribute the proceeds to charity.
