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. |
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.
