Portis Has Big Beach Plans in Miami

Clinton Portis plans to make the news during the offseason while hitting the beach at his Florida home. Didn’t Joe Gibbs say that the players needed to show up for “every single offseason workout, meeting and practice — or else”. Does this not apply to Portis? Doesn’t Miami need a running back to replace Ricky [...]

Portis disputes that he owes money for his No. 26

Clinton Portis’ agent says the Washington running back has been more than generous'' with former teammate Ifeanyi Ohalete, who claims Portis owes him $20,000 of the $40,000 promised when Ohalete gave Portis his No. 26 jersey.We have a position on that that is different from theirs,” said Drew Rosenhaus, Portis’ agent.

Why can’t underachieving, overpaid Clinton Portis just shut up and pay the money? He should pay Redskins’ fans who had to suffer through his lousy performance this season. The Redskins could have saved millions of dollars and had similar or better results from the running game if they would have stuck with Trung Canidate or Rock Cartwright.

Redskins 31, Giants 7

Read (yahoo.com) I realize the Giants are a bad team, too, but a win is a win. Oh, and it’s an NFC East win, too. When was the last time the Redskins had one of those? December 7, 2003. That was the week they beat the Giants, and Bruce Smith set the sack record.

Sean Taylor Pleads Not Guilty

Redskins safety Sean Taylor enters a not guilty plea on Wednesday to a drunken driving charge stemming from an Oct. 25 incident. A Jan. 5 trial date is set.

Do Taylor’s good points outweigh his bad points? He’ll make a great tackle or an interception, and then several plays later, he’ll commit a stupid unsporstmanlike conduct penalty. And then there are his off-the-field antics, like this drunk driving charge.
