What's up with the people that do that CC stuff anyway? When I'm watching TV at the gym I can barely follow along with all the misspellings. If you really are deaf my apologies, it must suck to have to follow along with the crap job they do.

See if you can spot the typo (I assume) here:

Ha well.. Yea it happens sometime, they mistype some words.. But I'm used to it anyway.. Most important of all, I'm glad that whoever typed CC for ESPN mistyped because losing Samuels for season wld be a big hit to Redskins..

We all know that Portis really, REALLY hates the preseason. So, that being said, any chance he's milking this injury just a little bit to get out of preseason games?

I know that sounds ridiculous, but he seemed to be jealous of the fact that Samuels would be out until the regular season.

I would hope not, AMD. That's not what I would consider a "team attitude". I guess it's okay if he subconciously feels that he'll get hurt in the pre-season and this turns out to be a mind over matter deal. Otherwise, he needs to be on the field with his teammates, practising his butt off.

You're not alone in asking that question. I tend to think Portis has more of a case of "pre-seasonitis" than tendonitis.

How do you explain knee swelling?

I'm not minimizing his injury, but there is a part of me that thinks he might use it to get out of playing. His thoughts on how much he hates the pre-season are well documented and given what happened last season, I think it's a legitimate question.

That is understandable, but I do not think that trainers and coaches would let him sit out if he was faking. At the same time, I understand how the might be a little over cautious to make sure that he is healthy for the opener. His dramatic change in morale tells me that he isn't faking, unless he is a good actor. I seriously doubt that though because we have all seen his characters.

I dont think it is a case of a player milking it, I think they all are. If it was regular season I am sure CP would play this Sunday, but is not so why risk it. This aint High School Ball, these are highly paid commodities. I understand it is football and injuries happen, it is a rough sport, all that jazz, but resting players like CP, Thomas, Moss, big time players coming off minor surgieries and injury plagued years is a smart move. There is no need to rush these guys back in. The coaches the fans know what these players can do.

Sometimes the reporters don't even get it right. I checked Extremeskins and the nightly news says a grade 2 sprain. 4 weeks he'll be out.

I wonder what Gibbs is thinking now about his decision to let guys train on their own during the off-season. the two biggest advocates, CP and SM, both show up not ready for the season.

Who said Moss and CP aren't ready?
