Def. not looking good for Portis on this one. I also see a couple ex-Redskins too like Carlos Rogers and Robert McCune.

If it's true what an absolutely poor choice by this group of guys.

Not only a poor choice, but what low character people participate in...he's a criminal

Low character scumbag, he also thought what Michael Vick did to those dogs was no big deal. I like how people minimalize criminal behavior, calling it "poor choices."

My first choice was "criminal man is bad" but I went with that instead.

Let's call him what he is. A vile, degenerate, lowlife piece of human scum who is the most despicable man to walk the face of the earth. Is that better?

Defrauding a multi-billion dollar sports league is what I like to call a poor choice, but how does it rate compared to what OJ or Vick did? I'd like to know more about where white collar crime rates on your scale compared to violent, or blue collar crime.

You called a player beating a dude unconscious a "poor choice" I figured you would also say OJ made "poor choices." Portis also stuck up for Michael Vick, so that puts him in the same class.

You speak like someone who's never been in a fight.

The video doesn't tell the whole story. It shows the part where he beat a man up, but the line between beating someone up and beating them unconscious is real thin. Men have died from being hit with a single punch before.

It's real easy to criticize from the sideline, but if you've ever been in that spot before where another man tries to start shit you'd know restraining yourself is easier said than done.

And just to be clear, I'm not sure if Montae was the aggressor or if the other guy tried to start shit. But yes, I qualify getting into a fight as a poor choice. I also qualify trying to rip off the NFL's healthcare reimbursement program as another poor choice. You act like I'm trying to make excuses for their actions. I'm not. Convict Portis, and punish him. He broke the law. But your double standard is appalling when you are more than willing to give Trump a pass for any action he does just because of the office he holds.

Mooby go to the penalty box for bringing up your boy outside of the debating the enemy threads aka what I refer as the "fun zone"

I boxed as an amateur on and off for 9 years from the age of 14-23. I got in 3 fights in 2 days attending a new Jr High in the mid 70's as kids made fun of my clothes. I was bullied because I skipped a grade and less than average size till High School I hit a major growth spurt between freshman and sophomore year while also living in the weight room and playing football. Then I got in a lot of fights defending people that were bullied as I once was. I am guessing I have probably logged more fighting minutes than everyone in here combined.

Anyway in my youth I would rather scare someone into backing down than fight. I have actually been punched by people that lost their cool and hit me, people that I could have destroyed easily and I just turned and walked away.
If I got in a fight and the other person wanted no more, I was done.

My claim to fame was having a strong chin and had good power, Tex Cobb was my hero. Usually if you just look at someone after you took their best shot the fight is over, no reason to go beat them half to death.

Larry Holmes beat the living shit out of that dude. I'll never forgot Cobb's face after that fight.
