Not really sure where you're going with this

Move along, nothing to see here....

If Portis will just keep his ramblings to off-field stuff and not throw his coaches and teammates under the bus he can say whatever he wants. If he continues to produce solid numbers and comes up with a SB or two here, he'll be on the same level with Riggo in DC and have a strong case for the HoF.

Well put . Maybe Portis should keep a 44 Jersey in his locker , and if/when he becomes DC's all time leading rusher , put the jersey on post game and give an interview . After the season , he should take Riggo out for some beers , get him drunk and give OL 44 a Mohawk ?

Sometimes I wonder about CP....some of the stuff I have seen him wear makes him look like half a f**

Not that that matters when it comes to production

I must say I would have rather kept Champ then trade him for a running back, (I forget if he was planning on bailing or not, my memory doesnt serve me) a shut down corner of his skill is a rarer commodity.

Ever since Portis arrived in D.C., he's been putting both feet in his mouth; he criticized Gibbs' playcalling in 2004, he criticized the line in 2008, he openly criticized Zorn last year, he criticized his line again this year, and so on. He's a damn fine running back and I would not go so far as to say he's become a problem, but he is getting annoying.

Sometimes, I wonder how things would be different had we drafted Adrian Peterson instead of Landry.

All I gotta say is Landry better step up this year. I get the feeling sometimes he is just coasting off his ridiculous raw talents.

He was right to criticize JG's playcalling. Seriously, he does go a bit overboard sometimes.

All he's got to do is to complement John Riggins a little then move on. He keeps talking and talking.

But listen Riggins is a bit off and comes off as a grumpy old man alot. He doesn't give CP any credit at all. There both crazy.

I've never considered it wise to pubicly criticize those whom you are dependent upon for your own achievements. There was a time in football, like most sports where one would dare to do that, and if one did, they could count on their career coming to an abrupt halt at the hands of those they chose to criticize.

I don't see anything wrong with what Portis said. I actually think he handled it pretty well. He never disrespected Riggo at all and even recognized how great Riggo was.

I'm with you on this, I see nothing wrong with what he said.

Agreed. This is much ado about nothing. Riggins did play with great players. Then again, so did Joe Montana, and saying so doesn't diminish his greatness one iota.

Every so often these two exchange barbs. Nothing new.

Freud would say it's all very Oedipal: the young guard replaces the old guard and conflict erupts.
