Tanner vs. Randy; Trevor vs. Blache, and now Portis vs...

If Portis will just keep his ramblings to off-field stuff and not throw his coaches and teammates under the bus he can say whatever he wants. If he continues to produce solid numbers and comes up with a SB or two here, he'll be on the same level with Riggo in DC and have a strong case for the HoF.

Well put . Maybe Portis should keep a 44 Jersey in his locker , and if/when he becomes DC's all time leading rusher , put the jersey on post game and give an interview . After the season , he should take Riggo out for some beers , get him drunk and give OL 44 a Mohawk ?

Every so often these two exchange barbs. Nothing new.

Freud would say it's all very Oedipal: the young guard replaces the old guard and conflict erupts.

"I've got two 60-year old strippers," he joked, and then walked off with a laugh.

Record's are meant to be broken. Don't cry shake the guys hand & say well done then whisper in his ear your record won't last for long.

He will run for 1500 yards if he gets 342 carries again, and there are at least 30 RBs in the NFL who would run for that many yards if they got as many carries.

Given that every team wants at least one 1,500 yard running back:
1) Tell me who those 30 backs are.
2) Tell me why they do not get that many carries.

Portis says in article: "I mean, you know, for him to be a legend and to hate as much as he hate, to be upset that I'm on his tracks...You know, it's crazy," he said. "Like, you did your thing. You know, the people around here love you. I'm not trying to replace you. I don't want to be you. Your background check and my background check, totally different, so I really don't feel like he can comment on nothing I do, you know?...

**Very true. Riggo does have some of the very same traits. The outlandish behavior. The attention getting antics. Wearing Camouflage and mohawks. Wantintg to be the center of attraction. Riggo was more of a loose cannon than CP. So it is kinda hypocritical for Riggo to mock someone who is simialr to his self and maybe less egotisitical. I think he really is mad he is being surpassed on the rushing list.

Lol, anyone feel like buying a Ford.



Or how about dropping by Eastern Motors where your jobs your credit.

Well there were 20 RB's that averaged 4.3 yds or better per carry -so I doubt there are 30...

plus of the 20, only 10 were featured enough to get over 1000 - so I doubt there are more than 10.

Not really sure where you're going with this

He's a damn fine running back and I would not go so far as to say he's become a problem, but he is getting annoying.

Sometimes, I wonder how things would be different had we drafted Adrian Peterson instead of Landry.

I've never considered it wise to pubicly criticize those whom you are dependent upon for your own achievements. There was a time in football, like most sports where one would dare to do that, and if one did, they could count on their career coming to an abrupt halt at the hands of those they chose to criticize.

[hooskins]

Anyone remember Portis vs BMtich?

Now that was extremely entertaining. Portis wanted to pretty much fight him, Mitch was ready and Coach had to calm them down.

As pretty much people said, big egos, divas, etc.

CP is a diva, high maintenence pain in the ass and so was Riggins. They're more a like then they'll ever know. The difference is JR has the most famous play in Redskins history and CP will never win getting into verbal jabs w/ JR. I just hate it when CP throws shot at his teammates. It's just so unprofessional.
