Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

Wow.....I really can't see how this thread has gotten this many posts, on such a topic. My feelings are as follows:
- You want to fight dogs? Go ahead, but when you Pit gets loose and mauls some little girl, then you should be hung by your balls untill your dead.
- I never new CP and Vick were good friends? Why would you start asking random people about other people's buisness? If someone asks me how I felt about somone else's problems, I really wouldn't give a shit, and pop off with a smart comment like CP did.
- If CP gets in trouble for fighting dogs, then we should hang him by his balls until the end of the off-season, and in between games.....but he still better be able to run and get in the end-zone.

***All in all, this is stupid***

P.S. theres a new BANG cartoon on this but it leaves Portis out. Very funny!

[quote=Grim21Reaper;311990]So people are upset with Portis because he tried to make a joke.

Unf-ingbelievable....[/quote]

If it really was a joke (and I don't believe it was from the interview I saw), then I fail to see what portion of his comments were supposed to be funny. Please, tell me, where is the punch line that we're all supposed to be laughing at? Sorry, Portis was serious and he meant every word he said. I don't see how anyone viewing that interview could see it any other way.

You are correct. He was not kidding at all. Anyone who actually watched the interview on WAVY 10 (if you didn't there is a link on or around page 5 of this thread) and can count to 10 knows this.

CP just happens to be a fry short of a happy meal that's all.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

Ok..I'm sure Gibbs would love for this to just go away but it won't if people keep acting offended. As some have said Lets move on. Clinton is Clinton and he's always trying to be funny and the center of attention. This one back fired.

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.

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

You may be on to something.
His chat with the press was featured on Mike & Mike this morning. He is currently a finalist in the "just shut up" awards.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

Seriously right now I would trade Portis for Champ and cut Springs. Who really would not take that??? Denver I am sure would not take it.

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.

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.

i wouldnt cause we would not have a tre true starter

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

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.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

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.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

EDIT ABOVE.

i'd eat dogs if i were like dying of starvation in siberia. that's likely one of the only situations.

but seriously... chillllll

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

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

How did the media by playing what he said twist his words.

Speaking of dogs have you seen the report:

Mary Kay Malonoree the news reporter, Ruff Ruff!!

I see nothing stoping her if shes has a hungering for dog, not even Chris Samauls!!

lol.

yea i watched the video. i wouldn't be surprised if portis is just tired of all the nonsense.

i guess we all just have to have that white picket fence with fido chained up out back. oh and look, his little bowl has his little name on it...

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

What does any of this have to do with football???

Neither Vick nor CP are condoning dog fighting, there is rampant speculation everywhere and this wreaks of smear campaign journalism. Even if there were felony charges against vick, who cares if portis supports him. He is his own man and is entitled to his opinion. Why should we as skins fans try to hold CP up to some high moral standard as a human being? He isn't elected to office, he just plays football. He isn't "embarrassing" this organization by expressing his views about the triviality of this whole F-ed up fake ass Vick scandal. Ppl just need to chill the F*$@ out and let everyone live their lives. If an NFL player is saying or clearly doing something that is against the league's rules and is detrimental to the team then by all means criticize him. But if he is just exercising his first amendment rights thru some benign comments leave him be. If you are foolish enough to make statements along the lines of trading portis or not cheering for him as much because of this, u don't deserve to be a skins fan.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

amen to that. let it die.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

Funny how 90% of the last dozen posts on this thread are from people pleading that we all just "let it die."

BINGO!

I don't care what he said. I am just saying the end has begun for Portis due to everything that is mentioned above. I HOPE I AM WRONG.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

Clinton Portis used to be one of the top rushers on my list. As of this interview his stock just dropped off my radar. I can't believe that this man attended college. He doesn't understand that cruelty is a crime no matter if it's towards animals, or humans? That's ridiculous. What he's basically saying is watching to lives fight until one isn't a life anymore is humane. How stupid can you be? I hope the NFL fines him for stupidity. People like him should not be NFL icons. On top of the fact that Vick hasn't even been placed at the scene or convicted of anything, so trying to defend some one who's denying anything happened shows he's up to date on his current events. Just shut up and try to finish a season without an injury and earn your money. No one wants to hear Dr. Portis' opinion on something that just doesn't really make any deal on his plate more lucrative.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

Welcome to the board

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

What he said was dumb and we really didn't need to hear his thoughts on the matter. However in the grand scheme of things I think this is something that will blow over quickly and really isn't a huge deal.

It certainly doesn't warrant some of the extreme overreactions I'm seeing here, but then again nothing really surprises me anymore. A player could sneeze the wrong way and people would get up in arms over it.

To summarize:

Portis's comments = dumb.

Crazy overreactions to what he said = dumber.

Lets see Vick's house 70 pluse dpgs, fighting ring, etc.. is in your mind "fake Vick scandal". So now that my feelings turn a little toward Portis (I just expected more from him)because of his comments I dont deserve to be a skins fan. If that how skins fans are to be looked at "in your eye's" I'd say allot of people need to find a new team.

animals don't have souls, and who cares if we abuse them and kill them. We are people, they are nothing.. worthless... they are on this earth for us to do what we want with them. Burn them for all I care.

There - maybe that will take the attention off of Portis.

(just kidding everyone - no hate mail please).

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

i love dogs but what portis said isnt that big of a deal to me, what gets me is just how ignorant these supposed college graduates can be. .

kids must choose their role models carefully nowadays, portis needs to do some damage control of his own if he wants to amend the relationship he had with some skins fans but does he even care what we think of him or does he just want to get paid????

dogs are mans property last time i checked the law (if someone kills your dog you get replacement value not sentimental value)

to a degree a man should be able to train and raise his dog as he see fit . .

however when you breed 70 plus pits at a time for fighting the personal bond and sense of mutual loyality is gone and its nothing but a crime . .

The funny thing is, this is the exact opinion of my uncle, who happens to be a very religious man. You could probably draw a line in the sand about this issue, and 90% of bible thumping conservatives probably don't care in the least about it, other than legal ramifications. It seems to be the tree hugging liberals that are up in arms, and trying to equate the life of 38 pound killing machine that supposedly can't think for itself, with the life of a human being.

I'm neither, and I still don't care what Portis said or even that Vick might be involved in dog fighting.
