Portis didn't sit out a year or get piss drunk in front of a Supreme Court Justice. Riggins also sat out many practices during the week to be able to play on Sunday. When we recall Riggins sucking on oxygen on the sidelines we think of a warrior, had that been Portis we'd say he's lazy and out of shape. Also, it wasn't really until Riggins' 7th year that the Redskins were real winners.
I love what Riggo brought on the field and I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but I'm not about to put him on a higher pedestal than need be in order to make Portis look worse.
