i cant remember who the poster was.....it was saved in my private messages but when the site crashed i lost all of that stuff.....i dont know if they still post here but i would venture to say they dont because nobody has stepped up and admitted visiting the saints page

Next, in his about me section, there is a link to the N.O. Saints Message board and Team Shop....very strange.

blackandgold.com......im not afraid to talk about my home forum.....its "where i came from" so to speak

i speak very highly of this site over there and i will do the same over here about that site.......both sites are very similar.....lower activity level, small number of posters and everyone is somewhat close with everyone else.....lots of friendships created over the internet

Lastly, almost all of the threads he's posted in has him making a statement about how blacks are surperior athletes and generally better...also white people are "just slower".

saying a black person is faster is just as racist as using the term "black" which you all have done.....it isnt anymore racist because its true.....if you can prove me wrong then im more than willing to admit it....because it is controversial.....but so far i havent seen anything to argue the other way

Humorously he was arguing with another poster early in the year about whether to start himself (Portis) in his fantasy league...and also that he needed "insider" information about Portis' injury status lol

i dont remember talking about starting portis in fantasy.....i remember saying something about getting some insider info from you redskins fans if anything happens to portis

i need some help at RB on my fantasy team and i picked up betts just in case.....it paid off

Not like CP has not been stopped at the one or short for a short FD like 20 times this year.

The problem is he's remembering too much for his own good. Even a blind man could see Betts has been much quicker to the hole than Portis this season. I like CP, I really do but if Betts is flying around the way he is and Portis isnt, there is no question who's better.

CantonLegend is not Clinton Portis.

Since you're telling who he isn't, can you verify that he's not connected to or related to Portis?

He's just a Saints fan from Ohio. Anything beyond that I won't say.

There's no special connection to Portis.

By the way, didn't Riggo used to skip practices quite frequently as well?

Okay, that's fine.

I've never complained about Portis missing practice, so I don't care one way or another. I just want him to show up on gameday.

You're really blowing my conspiracy theory though. I was getting starting to get some traction.

AND THAT is the key. If a player is kicking ass on the battlefield, NOBODY gives a crap what he does off the field (mostly).....
The problem comes to bear when you stil have the habits that tend to bother people and you ARE NOT producing

I think that was only in his contract yr prior to Gibbs...I think. It took Gibbs to go to Riggs ranch and talk him into coming back. After that he was at practice all the time even with a hangover.

"OchoCinco" as a verb. Well done. Does it have irregular conjugations?

[SolidSnake84]

Thanks to SmootSmack for clarifying, although we were really on a roll. Everybody was piecing together stuff...Very fun thread guys

Zorn was on the radio today. He did talk about the Portis diva situation and Zorn admitted that the issue of Portis not practicing is frustrating.

He feels that practice makes a guy better (duhhhh!) But his radio speech made him sound increasingly like a figurehead. He has no authority now that the playcalling is gone from him, and he alluded to the fact that he doesnt make roster decisions either as who to start or what not....i get the hint, especially after hearing the other skins' coaches, that Zorn prefers Betts to start, but has no choice in the matter....

Well, wait a minute. Roster decisions and who starts are two different things. Who is in the starting lineup is still Zorn's decision I would imagine. If he's not making those decisions then who is?

[SolidSnake84]

Somewhere else on this board, somebody posted the article that said where the redskins other coaches preferred betts to start.

And to answer your question about who is making the decisions? Who do you think????

My guess is Snyderato

Naw man, they can't be involved in those decisions. Who's starting and who's not? No way. Only a coach can make that call.

Did Zorn say he's not making lineup decisions? I wouldn't believe that unless he said it verbatim.
