ASHBURN, Va. -- There was a new sheriff in town Thursday for Clinton Portis' weekly meeting with the media.

Portis arrived dressed as "Sheriff Gonna Getcha" in a continuation of his weekly costume party. He wore a long, black wig, glasses with oversized eyes, a Led Zeppelin T-shirt, a star-shaped badge and a rather interesting necklace.

The "sheriff" said he was going to Tampa to investigate the disappearance of "Southeast Jerome," one of Portis' other characters who met an untimely death several weeks ago.

The running back said he's received letters of support for his weekly shenanigans.

"Just from the letters I've received recently from older people and people telling me their grandparents look forward to Thursday to see who I'm going to be," he said. "I think it cheers up some people. Some might be offended. You can't please everybody. For the people who like it, I'm going to continue doing it. For those who don't like it, don't watch my press conferences on Thursdays."

Portis said the only coach to say anything about the outfits was defensive coach Gregg Williams.

"Everybody's cool," Portis said. "I think people take it for what it's worth. We have fun. We're trying to win, so whatever it takes to win."

And some of Portis' teammates have been drawn in by the costume parade.

"Robert Royal just had me put on my whole outfit," Portis said. "So the people in the locker room are even getting excited about it."

Portis, Taylor Fined For Uni Violations

While Portis' wardrobe is OK off the field, the NFL has taken issue with his apparel on it.

Portis and safety Sean Taylor were fined by the NFL Thursday for uniform violations in Sunday's win against Philadelphia.

Portis was fined $20,000 for using an unapproved eye shield and for wearing black shoes and one striped sock.

Taylor was fined $5,000 for wearing unapproved striped socks.

Both were fined last year for sock violations.
