Portis apparently is not a dog lover

[70Chip]

Roger Goodell has a statement out today condemning Portis. The comish is getting a lot of great press because of his campaign to clean up the league. "He doesn't want the NFL to end up like the NBA", is an oft repeated line.

I have to wonder, though, if this agressive approach will start to backfire after a while. He seems to think he's Oliver Cromwell or something. If I were Snyder I would not appreciate him chiming in like this so that he can be quoted in all the Portis stories. I wonder if this approach doesn't have the affect of making the problem seem worse than it is. Tagliabue was much more low key and the league was fine. I guess my question would be, "Is Roger doing this for the good of the NFL or is he doing it to elevate his own status and give the comissioner's office a higher profile?" I suspect the latter.

If you really want to find out about question #3 I will give you some directions, but it will only lead you on a path to darkness and despair. I give you the originator of the question that was never asked. The name is wewhite and his evil twin is ST21.

this drove me crazy

just one question: How did this thread suddenly become all about me?

Portis just played himself.

My feeling is "core Redskins" (for Gibbs) have certain capabilities and attitudes. Portis has the capabilities, but I wonder what Gibbs is thinking now.

One of the reasons I liked Portis was he always looked like he was just having fun, esp. on Thursdays. I hope that I can get that back, but currently I feel an idealogical gulf between Portis and me in relation to cruelty that leaves me wondering if that will be possible.

Some are comparing dog fighting to eating dogs, but I compare it to vivisection (cutting up something while it's still alive.)

As far as Vick goes, I guess he can at least be thankful they were pit bulls and not poodles! ;-)

The Commissioner is a breath of fresh air. He is serious about cleaning up what NEEDS to be cleaned up in the NFL. He is treating it just like any other company. Play by the rules or...pay. If you would rather be a lawless thug, you can. But, Not here. I have no problem with that.
Portis was just stupid and should have kept his mouth shut. He could have defended Vick without commiting verbal suicide. If he cannot handle a provocative interview.......just say no.

This thread keeps getting worse and worse

The commish of the damn league isn't supposed to comment, yet Mr. Joe Schmoe Fan at home can light up message boards and talk radio all day long.

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"
