Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

[QUOTE=Mc2guy;312499]You are right, the reports do ask stupid questions in an attempt to illicit a stupid response. Portis should know this and should know to either keep his mouth shut or respond in a manner supportive of the person, not the activity, regardless of his views. If he isn't smart enough to know the difference that's his problem. He deserves the backlash he is getting right now from the public and the commish.[/QUOTE]
You're right about that. The bottom line is that he should have just said "No comment." An even smarter response would have probably been to say something along the lines of "I'm not going to answer that because it has nothing to do with me, the Redskins, Beach Blitz, or anything else that you might need to comment on."

As far as losing ad revenues, maybe that would be a good thing because it would shorten commercial breaks during games. Well, maybe not. :(

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

There was nothing wrong with the question. Don't blame the reporter for asking Portis how he feels about the situation his colleague is in. All Portis had to say was "no comment"

On that note, I'm done with this thread. Henceforth my answers here will be "no comment"

[quote=ArtMonkDrillz;312494]Ok, but this leads me to ask 'why was a microphone was shoved in CP's face in the first place?'
This is a small time news station that they asked him this stupid question and he gave a stupid answer, and then it gets out to the rest of the world (as these things always do) and people run with it. Think how happy WAVY or whatever it's called is to be getting this kind of national coverage. Hell, this could land that reporter a sideline job on ESPN.
To me, this is very similar to Hardaway's (I think that was his name) comments about gay players in the NBA. I feel like sports reporters ask these ridiculous questions of athletes [I]hoping[/I] to get a controversial answer that will get them more coverage. No good can really come from asking/answering questions like this.
Who gives a flying f*** what these guys think about dog fighting, homosexuality, the war in Iraq, dinosaurs, American Idol, or whatever else happens to be in the news that week? They are paid to play a sport or possibly analyze it after their playing time is done; we don't need them to tell us what is right and what is wrong with the world around us, because that's Bill O'Reilly's duty.[/quote]
I agree but the problem is he was asked the question and he made the comment. He should have known better than to defend an illegal act if Vick is found to be involved. He should have just said something to the effect we will just have to see how this works itself out or I'll let Vick speak for himself. Instaead he aserted himself into the mix with his comment and his comments sense then are even dumber than what he originaly said.

Beat me to it.

Commercial breaks are a discussion for another day

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

I love CP, but he looked like a total idiot last night on the NFL Network. He had a chance to undo his foolish comments, but he stood behind them instead.

I guess it's hard to take "the U" out of Clinton.

It's a shame but I don't think CP is smart enough for a "NO COMMENT" statement.

Futhermore, he could have at minimum made a comment that would have made himself at least appear that his IQ reachs into double digits.

You act like these millionaire Players are the victims. I work for a professional Sports team and they tell us over and over and over again to watch what we say to the press or anyone on the street about our company's private business or anything that can reflect badly on our orginazation. We can lose our jobs for saying something stupid or private. It reflects on the entire organization.
You don't think these guys get the same message at work?
You are right about their opinions, nobody should care. But they know better than to run their mouth in front of any media big or small. Portis must have been the one asleep in the back of the class room when they received their media training.
I was also a student athlete in school; when you are good athlete you get preferential treatment and can get away with murder. Please don't say these guys are the victims, they shoot themselves in the foot.
One thing the players and some fans fail to see is it is a privilege to play in the NFL not a right. We as fans pay their salaries and the League (commissioner included) can terminate anyone for conduct detrimental to the league. I do not care if you are next Jim Brown if you continually f-up you will get tossed. I do not care how great of a talent you are, ask Pacman Jones.
You want to keep your Million dollar a year job playing a game, leave the thug BS behind in college and high school. Each individual player needs to make the decision do they want to keep their high paying job or keep their street cred. You decide because the two do not mix. You will eventually get in trouble if you lead a reckless life style. Is it worth it? Ask Pacman.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

I was anxious to hear Portis clarify his statements on the NFL Network last night. Instead of making things better he made them worse, especially when he equated fishing with dog fighting.

He was also kind enough to say that this would be a bust if they don’t make it to the NFC championship game. He stated that this is the last year this team will be together and if they don’t make it this year the team will get blown up the next.

I also didn’t like hearing that after working out legs (running and squatting) that his knee flared up. If he can’t run and lift with his legs now how can they be ready for the season.
I am so happy the skins were smart enough to sign Betts

Thanks! It’s nice to vent to fellow skin fans. My phone has been ringing off the hook from eager cowgirl and beagle fans wanting to express how much of a thug Portis is.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

first post-new board member, Portis Fan, Skins fan for life...

A message for Clinton Portis:

Please CP, tell the media you were not thinking straight and apologize for offending anyone, no "buts" or defending what you said or comparisons to other issues. If you are friends with MV, then say so and then say you were just trying to back a friend, and said some dumb things. People will respect that.

Chris Samuals post incident remarks I think puts him Ok now on this, so follow his lead.

A sincere statement of regret for all this is the only thing that will make it all go away. And maybe a donation to the Humane Society or ASPCA and for a real effect, go to an animal shelter and listen to some people tell you how they felt hearing your comments and show them how much a man you really are.

I want to root for you this year running for mega yards and scoring touchdowns, and even seeing you make more funny comments to the media if you want to.

You are a team leader in DC and to others in the NFL

Show your teamates and others in the league how to stand up for a mistake and make it right.

We want to support you!

IHB Richard

I never said you couldn't keep posting whatever you want or even that you shouldn't keep posting, I'm just wondering why you seem to feel the need to keep coming back and posting in a thread that you obviously think is dumb.

Re: Portis apparently is not a dog lover
 

I think that before too long people will see that I am right about Goodell. He has some autocratic tendencies that will cause the owners to turn on him like a pack of wolves. He doesn't need to make a press release on every NFL story that comes along. All that does is encourage media to make more smoke.

I think he will jump the shark sometime in 2008. Perhaps the owners will then install Casserly. He was always a good company man.

Goodness, Casserly! Could you imagine?

Two words: Mitt Romney (ok maybe not)

Back on topic... I really thought that CP was trying to be funny, but just ended up looking like a moron. But now that I saw some of his NFL Network interview I think he honestly doesn't see much wrong with dog fighting, which is pretty sad.
At least Samuels tried to backtrack.
