Portis On Mike Sellers In Hawaii and “The Worst Coach In America”

After his relatively quiet radio show yesterday, newly-minted Pro Bowler Clinton Portis came to the media session at Redskins Park today a little bit jauntier, a little more ready to banter, and with two football cards taped to his chest. The media, no pack of dummies, immediately focused in on the cards, one of which [...]

Wednesday, December 17: Talking About Practice

Wednesday, as always, marks the restarting of the football portion of the week. The players are back in the building and the team is getting ready for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This means things like meetings, film study, and, of course, practice. At some point after this afternoon’s practice, I’ll post my thoughts [...]

Peter King Looks At The Bright Side

Not a lot favorable to take away from yesterday’s game, obviously. Any individual achievements tended to be immediately marred by dumb penalties (Santana Moss) or overturned by replay (Mike Sellers). I suppose Ryan Plackemeier had a fairly good game, which is nice, and Rock Cartwright acquitted himself well. I liked seeing Kareem Moore lay out [...]

Clinton Portis On Clinton Portis On Jim Zorn

Clinton Portis talked to the media after practice today, and it was the low-key, football-focused affair that I’m sure you would expect. The questions came from various members of the local media, and it’s impossible to determine from my recording who asked what. So all the questions are reduced to the “On…” format. It’s popular [...]

Open Locker Room on Portis and Zorn

If I had to characterize the response of players at open locker room to Clinton Portis Radio Funtime, I’d say there were two basic answers. One used the word “accountability” a lot, and the other was a some variation on “What did Clinton say, exactly?”. The first offensive starter to show his face in the [...]

The Portis/Zorn Radio Apocalypse!!!!!!! (Kind Of)

As I was driving back to Redskins Park from Antwaan Randle El‘s charity event today, I was listening to Clinton Portis‘s appearance on the John Thompson Show on ESPN980. Portis was clearly frustrated — with the team’s losing, with being benched (or “benched,” depending on who you ask), with his head coach — and he [...]

One More Thing About Portis: Time To Vote Again

There’s one more thing to note about Clinton Portis today, something I failed to mention in my earlier post about his modeling career: he’s been nominated for yet another FedEx Ground Player of the Week award, which means that it’s time to get voting. The competition is stiff (Matt Forte really had an impressive day [...]

Tuesday, November 25: Clinton Portis, Fashion Model

Clinton Portis is having a heck of a year. He’s currently leading the league in rushing, he’s a candidate for NFL MVP, and he’s in the top ten in Pro Bowl fan voting (as of the last set of official numbers released). He’s also a little bit of a fashion icon, not just for his [...]

Nice Work Again: Clinton Portis Wins Third FedEx Ground Player of the Week

I only hope the voting for the Redskins Ticket campaign is as effective as the voting for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week has been. Clinton Portis wins again, his third such award of the season.

One More Honor: Portis NFC Offensive Player of the Month

In addition to Santana Moss’s weekly award, we just got the word as practice ended that Clinton Portis has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. So take all the numbers from the end of the Santana Moss post and add one more to them.
