They both speak the same incoherent babble.

Who would claim that they’re going to drive their car 500 miles with the gas tank on “E”?

See: Portis, Walker.

-He believed that the Washington media is at least partially responsible for the team’s inability to win consistently during his time here. Asked about what was wrong with Donovan McNabb’s play last year, he said that he media picked apart every mistake and that it was harder on the team than even the media in McNabb’s former town. “Anything that happened, I think that the Washington media was being so critical of the team,” he said. “It was hard to really have that team bond because the media would shoot at picking it apart and tearing it apart and so critical even when the good times came. I don’t think Donovan was ready for that, even coming from Philly. I don’t think he understood the position he was coming into.”

The media in D.C. can be very critical, it is true. This is also the case in some other cities as well. At the same time, this cannot be used as an excuse. If nothing else, the team has to develop an “us vs. them” mentality and not be impacted by the media. Just do your thing and if you win, the media will praise you. I have heard some other Redskins players — like Carlos Rodgers — complain that the fans are too hard on them. Again, win and this will change. Until then, circle the wagons and do your thing.

I don’t buy the “media as excuse” argument.

Other than that, your post is good…it’s true he is not as “bitter” about the Redskins as some on here (you know who you are LMFAO would make it out to be.)

THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

“Portis did believe that his time in Washington was up. “I think for the situation that was going on in Washington for myself it was time to vacate,” he said. “The organization was going in a different direction and I really think that Coach Shanahan is going to get the organization back on track and back to winning ways, which is what the people in Washington want to see. He does regret not being able to pass John Riggins to become the Redskins’ all-time leading rusher. Portis finished his career in Washington 648 yards behind Riggins’ total of 7472 yards in a Redskins uniform.

“I think that I had a two-year span to overtake [Riggins] and become first,” he said. I just doesn’t seem like it was meant for me. Again, getting injured, it just didn’t seem worth it. Here I am with something to prove, looking for a brand new start.”

AND THIS ABOUT YES YOU THE MEDIA LEFT THAT OUT TOO!

The front office…especially Jerry Reese is high on seventh round pick Da’Rel Scott.

And because of the lockout…..low round picks like Scott will have a better chance of making final rosters because of the possibility of reduced training camp and preseason.

Portis would be pretty expensive for a No. 3 back.

boysroll is delusional in the sense that he seems to think the cowgirls are somehow annointed the greatest team to ever play the game of football. He also thinks Jeruh is the second coming. All I know is they hosted they Super Bowl ONE TIME and botched that all to he11. So badly that the NFL is looking into ways to prevent that cluster-f from ever happening again…Now fellas, that’s a class organization!

Boysroll isn’t one of those fans.

We have some positives to build off…what do you have? You have a Leave it to Beaver Clone (Grossman) possibly leading this sinking ship or some musician named John Beck LMAO.

Face it…Last place again and get used to it. LMAO.

CP is just talking, as usual.

He was at a Comedy Show at Constitution Hall, and Mike Epps called his name and everyone booed him. So, I guess it may be just a mutual decesion, he wasn’t coming back at his Reggie Bush like salary.

Not a skins fan, but, please enlighten us as to the ‘Boys great accomplishments over the last decade. By acclamation the biggest collection of great players in the NFL(per themselves, their fans and the media) performing how well? What was there record last year, super bowl winners, right? They have won how many playoff games in the last ten years? They are already projected to win the super bowl this year(by their fans and players). Please enlighten us oh mighty seer on how they plan to do all this.

Dallas and Philly are also deep in young, drafted running backs. No one in the East is signing Portis.

The real pity for the Skins is that if there is no training camp it will be difficult to for us to choose between all the young backs we’ve got at the moment. Considering we started last year’s training camp with Portis, Larry Johnson and Willy Parker on the roster, our current situation of having more young backs than we can possibly fit on the roster looks like real progress.

Here’s hoping that one or two of them turn out to be good pro’s. I’d like to see Helu, Royster and Keiland Williams make it. Torrain is a bit too streaky for me and has had a lot of injuries for someone with so few carries.
