Clinton Portis steals the stage at Becky's Fund event

Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis made quite a statement Tuesday at the second annual Walk This Way Charity Fashion Show for Becky's Fund.

The footballer walked the runway, which was built above the rooftop pool at the Liaison Capitol Hill Hotel, to help raise money for the nonprofit which works to combat domestic violence.

His fellow Redskins -- former wide receiver Gary Clark, offensive tackle Stephon Heyer and defensive end Chris Wilson -- also strutted their stuff to support the cause, along with D.C. United's Ben Olsen and a few other attractive athletes.

"Real Housewives of D.C." cast members Mary Amons and Paul Wharton even jumped on stage for an "impromptu" live auction. But it was the outspoken Portis who stole the spotlight when he thanked his mother (he took her as his date) for raising him so well and teaching him to care about important issues.

"A couple of people thought she was my girlfriend, but I don't mess with cougars," Portis said.

Ah, well ... he may not be the best spokesman, but he sure can play ball.
