Rolling Stone Magazine: Freaks Of The Game

Was at BWI tonight reading the new Rolling Stone (Leonardo DiCaprio on cover).. small article with Clinton Portis on page 74..

Ha!... Nice little read. Thanks for sharing.

BWI made me do the same thing about a week ago. lol

Edit: You know with sharing with the rest of ES what I was reading.

I hope Portis can win a Super Bowl with us and rack up some good yardage to get above 12,000 on his career and make it to the Hall of Fame so all these haters can eat it.

That was pretty funny. Portis is quite the character.

What a horrendous slanted P.O.S. What they fail to mention is that during all these costumes and 'narcissism' that CP put our team on his back and carried us to the playoffs.

Plus, how is CLinton irrelevant in this 'black hole' when he's set to become the leading rusher of the one of the oldest and documented NFL franchises?

Yeah really. Garbage article all the way around.

CP racked up concussions? Thought it was just the one, and what

POS makes fun of that anyways? Just a nasty little hit piece, hard to believe trash like that gets published.

I think McD5 wrote this article.

It's Rolling Stone magazine.

A pop culture/music magazine. We're not talking about the Football Outsiders Almanac or even Sports Illustrated.

Nobody who honestly cares about football is going to look to an article in Rolling Stone for information.

the team actually got better with Portis...

oh well

cool ...thx for posting.

thx man

Really Matt? Really?

"The Ocean of Suck"?

1315 3.9

1516 4.3

1262 3.9

1487 4.4

Numbers and averages put up in the 4 seasons Clinton has played at least 15 games for us, the last one being all the way back in 2008!! A whole season ago.

Not the 5.5 he had in Denver, but anyone expecting CP or any runner to average 5.5 for the balance of a 9 season (to date) career is fooling themselves.

The thing I do agree with though is that I was never a fan of the characters simply because they really were not that funny. Some were amusing but Clinton isn't a naturally funny guy. The best "bit" he did was in 2006 when, as Napoleon Dynamite, he danced in the background of a Gregg Williams interview and then walked up behind him and just stared at him while Williams was talking to reporters. That was funny.

Obviously Rolling Stone doesn't watch many Redskin games to see the impact CP has on the team

screw them CP is the man!

People above the age of 15 still read that magazine... ?

Yea, never mind the fact that Portis faced some of the NFL's worst defenses when he was in Denver, and moving to the East had to now face the top D's in the league six times per year.

:doh:

Don't forget that the Chargers, Chefs and Chokeland all had bottom dwelling defenses back then.

Plus, didn't Portis have the luxury of a balanced offense and better oline?

Let's see what this guy can do with the best QB he's ever played with. I think he will be back to averaging over 5 ypc.

:2cents:

I think you meant to say "People below the age of 40 still read that magazine...?"

Rolling Stone does a terrifc job covering Rock and Roll and Current Events, but like Huffington Post, sports is something they should stay far, far away from.

I think I saw a copy in my dentist's office behind the Highlights magazine. I chose to read the Highlights. Can't get enough of Goofus and Galant.

I wouldn't even give them that much credit...

unfortunate that someone got paid to write that.

Who the hell cares what some writer over at RS has to say in the world of sports. Not there readers for sure. Anyone here shelled out any cash lately on this mag?

what a load of tripe. Portis is the Redskins leading single season rusher, (he also holds second place) is the only Redskin to ever eush for 1500 yards in a season (something he missed doing twice by 13 yards)

and soon to be all-time leading rusher after playing for the Redskins for only 6 seasons. (and missing half of one and a third of another to injuries.) Needless to remind anyone the rich history of running backs we've had here, a few with busts in the hall of fame. He's eclipsed them all.

The lack of recognition he gets is ridiculous.

His costumes did a lot to relax the locker room, and if you don't think that sort of thing is important to building team and keeping it loose, you've never been on a team to begin with. Portis is a leader, a great player, and we've been fortunate to have him on our team. Now that he's re-motivated, I can't wait to see what he'll do.

Hey. you can't talk junk about Portis, only we can!

BOYCOTT!!!!!!! Oh wait I've never bought Rolling Stone. Can you boycott something you've never bought?

Well said Bang! People forget alot of what CP has done here. They like to remember him bashing people in the media, which I'm not saying is ok, but to me, he's earned the right to call out teammates. He should finish this season as the Redskins All-Time leading rusher, so to say he's "fallen into the ocean of suck", is just inaccurate and ignorant. And hasn't he made the Pro Bowl twice as a Redskin?
