And to say Portis is "typical of today's pro athlete" is absurd. He's basically the face of the team, and he does whatever is required of him with pride, whether it's running hard up the gut or stoning a blitzing linebacker. He's 100% hustle. Lumping him in with players like TO and Randy Moss is just stupid.

I'm not ripping him for playing hard, I am saying he should be aware he is in a meaningless game and when not running the ball or blocking in pass protection, act accordingly.
All the same stuff I heard about LA for all the time he was here and now that he's gone most people on this site cant rip him enough.
FYI, Joe Gibbs is the face of this team.
