This makes me wonder about portis' character. He obviously doesn't fit the profile of a core "redskin". I wonder if gibbs thinks he made a bad choice with picking him up? Not saying he's not a great back.

If Portis would have just picked out a new number then this would all be avoided. I know he wore 26 in his first two years in denver, but couldn't he have just used his number 28 from miami or something different.

Wonder if they had a signed contract.
Portis will have to pay if they did, and if the contract isn't deemed illegal. If they just had a verbal agreement, then it's not a valid contract, from my understanding of the Uniform Commercial Code.
Let's see now....after 1 Yr,Portis duribility issues and he is already screwing over teammates.
Wow...thisa guy is 1st class,does anybody know why they are laughing in denver??

The two signed a contract June 4 stipulating that Portis would pay $40,000 for the number, according to Ohalete's attorney, John Steren. Steren said Portis paid $20,000 but did not make two subsequent payments of $10,000 due during the season.
I hope this is resolved, this is tooooooooo stupid.

Written contract? I would say Portis is screwed and has to pay up. Pretty sorry of him to make it have to go to court if that's the case. It's not like the $20,000 is gonna break his bank......he made the bed and now he's lying in it.
As my grandma would say "suck it up sissy", pay your debts!

First.. I don't remember anybody laughing in denver? Their QB giving the fans the finger... and their team hasn't had a decent running back most of the year till Droughns came along...Bailey has been schooled/embrassed many times this year...
and I wouldn't be worried coming from someone whos 4 year old Quarterback is crwying becuz the big bad media hurt his wittle feelwings...
Who's laughing?

There have been some weird disputes in pro sports, but this is probably in the top 5 weirdest.

I would like to see the four that come before it.
Probably something to do with "stickum" is number one.

If I was Portis I would pay to, I wish I was in Portis's position to him 40k isn't that much
Ohalate is a baby!!

Well, now...Smootie was the middleman here, and he's siding with Iffy.
Maybe Portis should just tack this on to his "wardrobe malfunction" (all-burgundy socks)write-off, and pay the man. I mean, how much money can you make in the desert, for cripe's sake ?
