Man, I am not going to take ANY of this seriously. First, he almost always says this stuff with a smile on his face--he is a joker most of the time. I agree that what he was saying was like Gibbs and the back to NASCAR comment. If I can't play, they're gonna fire my ass. Ha ha.

As for not playing in game 4, why in the world would we want to risk him now? Let him get healthy--who cares about preseason? Seriously. He's an RB, so he doesn't have nearly as much to pick up chemistry-wise. Just open a hole and let him run. And for all this talk about Portis being lazy, are you really ready to say that he doesn't give his all in games? He bust his ass out there, on everything from runs to receptions to blitz pickups--he is definetly our best blocking tailback in that regard. And for all this Champ talk--we had the #3 D and Clinton rushed for 1500 yards just 2 years back. He was hurt last year--but when he's healthy, he's the best back we have. And he's a team leader. Remember when we won 5 in a row to get to the playoffs--check Clinton's stats and press conferences during that run.

Rant over.
