We do have a "body of evidence" to look at here - - and some of the data is conflicting:
1. Portis called out his O-Line early this year as not being all that good. He said that he would like to see what numbers he could put up if he played behind a top level O-Line. OK, he's basically right; this O-Line is mediocre. But is that what one would want to hear from a "teammate" if one were one of the O-Linemen?
2. Later, B-Mitch called out Portis for his improper comments and Portis lashed back. OK, he doesn't like to be called out by someone who many think should be a HoF player - - not an unnatural position. But getting into a pissing match with a guy who sits behind a radio microphone 5 days a week is STUPID to the max. Back in the 1920s someone once observed that you shoud never pick a fight with anyone who buys paper by the freight carload and ink by the barrel; in 2008, you don't pick fights with sports radio hosts.
3. Now, Portis is pissed because he didn't get to play on Sunday night. Gee, why didn't he threaten to hold his breath until he turned blue on the sidelines unless he got back in the game? Zorn says he missed some assignments; we DO know that he fumbled and that his fumble resulted in a TD. :confused:
Matty: Good thing for Portis that the Skins no longer have Sultan Mugillicuddy on the practice squad or you would have 17 threads by now saying how Portis needs to be cut so that the brilliance and Pro Bowl talent of Sultan can be showcased and revealed to NFL fans worldwide...
