jamesbrooks21 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Did anyone see the socks Clinton Portis and Sean Taylor were wearing in the Sunday night game? Taylor's weren't bad, but Portis looked like a dumbass. Portis(26) was fined 20,000 and Taylor(21) was fined 5,000 per ESPN.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 They look fine to me, I don't understand why the NFL would bother fining them for something so trivial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbrooks21 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 They look fine to me, I don't understand why the NFL would bother fining them for something so trivial.Because there is Uniform Policy and the NFL says to wear socks and look like everyone else. There is actual people at games to check that stuff. Portis must have lost a bet or something because there is no way he could think that looks good.

NJ29 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Portis wasn't fined just for the socks. He was also fined for wearing black shoes and an "unapproved" eyeshield. Basically, he wore black shoes, weird socks and a black visor without a medical reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUbaseball11 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 They look fine to me, I don't understand why the NFL would bother fining them for something so trivial. Portis must have lost a bet or something because there is no way he could think that looks good.I wouldn't be so sure According to portis, if anyone watches the nfl network, he started dressing like a dumbass during his press appearances because he hadn't reached the endzone up to that point. I am a superstitous guy so I can give him the benefit of the doubt, plus he's been in the endzone more frequent since........BUT bringing his ugly fantasies on the field with him in front of a national audience was brutal. There is a reason they get fined for such acts......it's called team unity. The league shouldn't accept individualism which is exactly what he was doing. "Look at me, I have finally scored a couple of touchdowns so I'm going to look stupid all the time now and not just in my press conferences!" Why is he even worrying about scoring anyway? The Skins' have had success this year....he should leave it at that. Nobody gives a damn about him and his scores (unless you have him on your fantasy squad) only if they win. I could care less who scores for the 'Nasti Nati as long as we get the "DUB". On that note i'll leave you guys with a WHO-DEY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see him on Sportscenter wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt? I saw that and my respect for him tripled instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
