Re: Clinton Portis\'s suit
As a law student and football fan, the lawsuit is one of the more interesting things to come across the wires in recent weeks.
I honestly don't know how I'd rule.

Re: Clinton Portis\'s suit
Can't believe some of the names parents give their kids. If your surname is Portis don't call your son Clint!

Re: Clinton Portis\'s suit
For some athletes their days are numbered
The fight for jersey No. 26 is going all the way to courtroom No. 161B. Former Washington defensive back Ifeanyi Ohalete has sued running back Clinton Portis, alleging breach of contract in the agreement they had for Portis to pay him $40,000 to give up his No. 26 jersey when Portis was traded to the team last year. Ohalete was released in August, and he claims Portis stopped payments prematurely and paid only half the sum. The trial is scheduled June 7 in District Court of Maryland in Upper Marlboro. Although they seldom reach the lawsuit stage, it is not uncommon for lesser-known players to sell their numbers to stars. Punter Jeff Feagles wore No. 10 until he sold it to Giants rookie quarterback Eli Manning last spring for a one-week vacation in Florida. Feagles switched to No. 17, which he sold this offseason to receiver Plaxico Burress for a new outdoor kitchen at his home in Phoenix. The Mets' Tom Glavine was issued No. 47 by the Braves in his first spring training. He didn't much care for it, but it came to symbolize everything he overcame to stick in the majors. So when he was traded to the Mets, he financed a baby nursery in the home of current Royal Joe McEwing to get the number back. The price of jersey numbers has escalated at almost the same rate as player contracts. In 1989, Oakland's Rickey Henderson got No. 24 from Ron Hassey by substituting for him at an autograph session. In 1991, Philadelphia reliever Mitch Williams got No. 28 from John Kruk for two cases of beer. But by 1993, when Henderson wanted No. 24 with the Toronto Blue Jays, he had to pay outfielder Turner Ward $25,000.link
