The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I am very bitter.

I have FedEx'd Champ's jersey to Denver as a COD.
I have decided to get Portis' jersey and I have called the Redskins Store many times since Portis signed.

This is where it gets interesting.
The first person I talked to said the jersey would be available in late summer.
The second person I talked to, a young girl, said: "Who is Clinton Portis?" ....I hung up.
The third time (last week) the dude said Portis jersey would be available this week (by today)....
So I called today, and the guy said that Portis jerseys are NOT available and will not be available for a while due to a problem with the NUMBER 26....he said there is an issue with the number holding up the jersey release.

Move over Lavar!!!
We've got a jersey scandall!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't you just have a custom jersey made with Portis' name and number? It might get done faster.

that sux, i've been wanting one too...they better not pull that same lavar crap

One of the reasons the jersey has not been released is because of number.

It is not safe to assume he will be #26, although it is likely. Would you drop $$$ on a custom jersey with a number that might be wrong?

Didn't think so...

I'm sure something will be done between Portis and Ohalate. They probably haven't even talked yet and won't until this weekend about it.

Yeah, there's a problem w/ Iffy and C-Port. Iffy doesn't want to give up 26. Clinton wants it to but I would make him wear 27 just for wearing those freakin' sunglasses during his press conference!

Don't player hate...

yeah, portis was just represent'n...P.I.M.P.

That is freakin unbelievable that Portis jersey is not ready for sale. And Synder considers himself a marketing Guru. Keyshawns jersey was ready for order the monday of his press conferance. I have been looking for one as an early present for my barber. There must be something going on he might have to cut a deal with IFFY like Jake said

Okay, it's five o'clock somewhere and I've had a beer or two, so it's time to display my (lack of a) sense of humor.

Maybe Clinton could use his Portis HEAD and take the current wearer of #26 out to discuss it over ham and cheese OMHALETTES. But that would be no guarantee, it would be IFFY at best. I guess he KEN wear #27 without having to say "HOUSTON, we have a problem." He could reverse 27 and go with #72, he's MANLEY enough, but he's probably not DIRON to wear that number. Not many running backs wear #17, although he'd probably KILL-MER for it. Then what would he have DOUG himself into? (I can hear it now, no more #17 jokes, WUERFFEL of them already) You could give him #70, but that's not a running back number, and the NFL would just be in a big HUFF. #33 is a good RB number, but even if he asks for it for Christmas, he'd hear "BAUGH humbug". #44 is out of the question. They only make them in size XXL and Portis would hold up the jerseys and say "DEISEL never fit me". Maybe after a few roster moves, he'll be a CANDIDATE to wear #30. Kevin Mitchell wears #55, and it'd take alot of HANBURGERS to talk him out of it. He'd have to walk over hot COLES to get #80, even though he was a R.O.Y. Ramsey wears #11, and even RYPIEN the jersey off him wouldn't work. My BETTS against him getting #46. Oh sure, he could walk down the HALL wearing #10 and BRAGG about how he almost got #4, but those aren't RB numbers either. A LOTT of RBs wear #34, but that's taken, too. He thinks he can get #85 but he McCANTS. He could get #20 by hanging CHAD. He's not NOBLE enough to wear #75. He's not WINEY enough for #68 and he'll never WYNN #97. He's EARNEST enough to wear #21 but he'd need an ALLEN wrench to pry it from the guy currently wearing it, so I suppose the point is SMOOT.

Any other ideas? Wow...all this without narcotics.

you sure you've only had one or two?

I could MCDOLE out about 79 more of these, but I'd have 85 WARRENs out for my arrest. Besides, I'm very popular and I have 32 PARDEEs to attend, where I'll likely be accused of inapropriate behavior towards someone's wife or girlfriend, to which I'll reply..."I told you 86 times that I never DIDIER, sure I SCHROEDER, but that was 10 years ago!". Perhaps it'd be 37 times safer to just be a FISCHER and try to catch 41 BASS. Or maybe I should go golfing try to hit 28 GREENs in regulation or 31 HARRAWAYs in regulation. But I've been past my prime since '81 and I didn't golf much then because I was a MONK. It's still a little CHILI to golf for me anyway, it's 68 farenheit, 20 celcius and 24 KELVIN. (That was a long way to go) I don't know why I keep these puns going, it must be a mental problem, which I'm sure CENTERS around some depression I sufferred when I was 37. I only have 52 more of these if it's OLKY with you guys. I'll probably forget 31 of them, since I don't have a memory like an OLIPHANT. (I'm not sure that was his number but I won't TERRELL if you won't). I might remember 12 more but I FREROTTE the rest. I Should have stopped at #29, but that's MURPHY's law for ya. If someone could GRANT me 46 wishes, I'd want 65 BUTZ, 57 was my record and I thought that was MILOT, 58 and they'd send the MARSHALL after me. I apologize for the last 77 puns, but it's all water under the BRUNDIGE at this point.

Before LaVar let his name be used on jerseys, I tried to order a custom one online and it wouldn't let me...so the Portis custom may not work out either.
