REDSKINS | Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis might change his socks Saturday after two weeks of fines from the NFL for wearing unsanctioned red hose. Portis and safety Sean Taylor were fined $5,000 apiece for wearing red socks instead of the Redskins' usual white during a game against the New York Giants on Dec. 5. They received another fine for the same violations of the league's rules in last Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Portis criticized the fines during a conference call with reporters in California on Wednesday - but also acknowledged they're getting his attention. "The fine is getting pretty expensive, so I don't know," Portis said when asked if he'll wear the socks in San Francisco. "I think that is a stupid fine for the simple fact that they want everybody to be the same," Portis said.

Hello - Mr. Bling Bling, fur-wearing idiot -- that's why it's called a "UNIform".
The very concept of a uniform is for everyone to look alike!!!
THINK!!!
Don't like it? That burger-flipping gig awaits.
Heeeeer's an idea....If you MUST wear the red socks,wear the required socks but...wear your red ones underneath! That shouldn't be too difficult!
Better yet,just wear what you're paid big bucks to wear and quit being an idiot! Sheesh!
All money & no brains...Typical of many athletes.
Dumb as a box of rocks ...
Joe Gibbs must be regretting his decision to return to the NFL. Nothing's gone right with the Redskins and he has to put up with idiots like this on a daily basis.
