Portis apparently is not a dog lover

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.

Excellent point, I'm getting sick of Goddell. The guy is kind of a meglomaniac it would seem. Has anyone noticed that Portis has not done anything. What he MEANT was that Vick has not even been convicted of anything and it is all rumor and inuendo. The whole Vick thing is stupid because no one knows his involvement (or lack thereof) and now Portis is just added on. Why people care what Portis says I have no idea except that the NFL now has a 24 hour news cycle so you need something to talk about.
