But he use to tell me CP loved gambling.
Can't believe there is really any doubt over Portis' intelligence. I can remember one of the first times i heard him open his mouth, i was severely concerned about his future post-NFL.

No secret that I didn't like him while he was here. His me first attitude, coupled with the fact that he didn't believe in working out, or training camp / pre-season. Washington didn't find out he was a cancer until too late in his career.

I'll give him his due though - it's amazing that for a guy who didn't really train or do any kind of preperation, he was able to show up on Sunday and do what he did for so long. Makes me wonder how great he could have been if he would have been fully committed to practice / training etc.. After he was cut by us, i'll admit I was actually said when the reports came in about him showing up for his Patriots workout at almost 300 lbs....

Re: All things off season 2015.

So having a gambling problem is synonymous with intelligence? You learn something new everyday on the inter webs.

He's definitely not the first or last player to not like practice or training camp. All I know is he balled out when it was game time.

I'm always a little puzzled when people hate on one of the most productive RBs in team history.

I couldn't agree more. I remember his first carry as a Redskin -- something like 60 yards for a TD against the Cardinals (I was at FedEx and the place went nuts). He was also not afraid to mix it up -- I think he was the best blocking RB we've ever had. Hardly the stuff of a prima donna. He liked to be the center of attention, to be sure, but he also brought it every Sunday.

I like CP and wish him well and hope he sorts out his financial situation (which sounds pretty bad).

Agree that Portis was a tremendous blocking back. Portis DELIVERED the blow to the defense. I haven't seen much of that from the RB position since he left.

Re: All things off season 2015.

I dont hate Portis but he made a ton...a ton of money for a RB in his career. If his is excuse is gambling then he is a complete and utter idiot.

well, if you don't think it's coming back twice as strong... it's definitely hurt their trademark case.
