Portis is slowly on the way out of Washington in my mind. Things keep piling up with him. I wish we had Champ back.

This thread has gotten truly ridiculous. Vick isn't even indicted and now everyone wants to hang Portis for saying basically everyone should leave Vick alone. What he said was kind of stupid, but certainly no reason to run him out of town. I'll be back to call everyone out when Clinton starts curning out 100 yard games and no one remembers this stupid dog comment. Let's try to remember that Clinton was not the one running the dog fighting ring. What he says does not matter. ... LET IT GO PLEASE! And I will try to do the same.

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Portis' bark deserves a bite in the bum (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6836960)
Clinton wasn't joking. The sad fact is that the reporter gave him ample opportunity to backtrack and he still didn't get it. The statement he released after the fact wasn't any better either.
You are right LadyB, he doesn't get it...? I do agree with some of the other folks, IMO CP is slowly working his way outta DC. After this year probably, maybe 2 MAX. he's gone.

In addition to the whole dog-fighting moral issue, Portis' comments have hit the AP and are now linked up on the front page of FoxNews' website. Not only is this snowballing here, but has made its way out of the sports media into the national news media. The way the article and headlines are written, Samuels is being pulled into this as well (which I don't agree with, he just got caught in the crossfire of CP's mouth).
I don't think anyone here is running Portis out of town, but if you look at his cap numbers for 2008 & 2009, his injury last year, the relatively cheap re-signing of Betts, and the fact that he has a high amount of career carries for a 205 lb. back, the writing is definitely on the wall for him to be out before either the 2008 or 2009 season....unless as you mentioned he stays injury free and is churning out 100 yd games regularly.

Clinton actually made the top 10 of google's new "Google Trends" aka hot queries. I looked it up and saw his name there at #5 and was like WTF???
I think Clinton would be very wise to STFU.

give it time and people will get over the stupid dog thing.
don't some people eat dogs? i probably would. i'm kind of getting sick of the top headlines for sports being about dumb animals.

Wow i think the most shocking thing about all this is that dog fighting is a feloney in VA!!! Thats crazy.
Also in nfl.com's rumor mill:
"but now comes possibly the worst of all. There are allegations of Vick being connected to dogfighting"
This statement comes after they talk about Mick Vick flicking off his home team fans, and giving herps to a ex girlfriend. IMO both are far worse then some saturday night dog fighting, espicially giving the herp to a person intentionally, that’s just flat out wrong and disgusting

You know someone needs to ask Portis what his feelings are on cock fighting during his next interview. Right in the middle of an interview...." So Clinton we saw where the media twisted your words and made you look bad while questioning you about Vick...We could not belive how the media made you look so bad by the way what's you take on cock fighting?" lol.
How did the media by playing what he said twist his words.
