Clinton Portis not so talented, very much a putz

Here is a timeline of a story about Clinton Portis, the jerk.

Portis goes to the Redskins and Ohalete (a player already there) has the number Portis wants. So, Portis offers Ohalete $40,000 for the number in installments. The sign a contract to that effect and Portis gets the uniform number.

Ohalete was cut during camp. Portis decides to not pay the remainder of the $40,000 since he would have gotten the number anyway. Ohalete sues for the remainder of the contractually agreed upon payment for immediate relinquishment of the number. (The contract did not say the payment was contingent on Ohalete making the team again.)

Portis, the cheapskate making multi-millions per year, decided he did not want to go to court. So he settled and paid $18,000 of the remianing $20,000.

What a scum bag. Be sure to boo this jerk every chance you get. Remember what the pro-government money for stadium crowd say: "Sports builds character."

Here is the story about the settlement.

Portis paid $20,000 before the Redskins cut Ohalete prior to the start of last season. Ohalete sued Portis for the remaining $20,000, and the two players were scheduled for a court appearance this morning in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
