What's the harm anyway??

No Harm Matty, I just don't understand why players must sign and retire on the same day. Seems pointless. You can patch things upanytime, and Brian seem to be slaming Clinton a few weeks back on Camcast Sports Net after game program. If he is able to slam Portis then he should be able to say his amends in public and be done with it. Just never understood the reason behind the sign and retire thing, other then to make someones ego happy. How many Redskins have done this. Don't seem to recall Riggins or Monk having this done. But then again there egos aren't that big.
