kingfish50 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I think Riggins just feels threatened by Portis' ability as a runner. Portis could soon be considered the best RB of the Redskins in franchise history at this rate. We all know Riggo has an absolutely huge ego and him being second best would be crushing. No longer would Riggo be able to toot his own horn, and I'm sure he's terrified of that. So now he's getting defensive and down-playing any of Clinton's achievements. Give it a break man :doh:. Riggins, just like every other professional athlete, knows that records are made top be broken and his is no exception. It all has to do with Riggins perception that he thinks CP threw not just the o-line under the bus but Joe Bugel himself. Riggins has won a few championships with Buges and I imagine has a greal deal of admiration and respect for him. It was probably his way of defending Buges and it really isn't that big of a deal. Get over it....please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize you told that poster..Metalhead..to "get over it", however, I hope you don't mind if those of us who happen to think there might be something to that idea, don't get over it. I certainly recognize you think you are an authority on this subject, and I do apologize for not taking you at your word, but I think I will go along with Metalhead. Yes, records are made to be broken. But, that does not mean someone is eager for another player to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Ok, let's see if anyone is erudite enough to use lexemes in their definition....... It's Sunday Morning. I am not into vocabulary words on a Sunday Morning. As far as Riggins goes, I love Riggo and what he did for Washington, but I think meatalhead is onto it. I have a hard time believing he is nursing a grudge for an O-line he never played with over some short, dismissive comments Portis made WEEKS ago. I feel there is some pettiness, ego, and pride behind his words (or lack of praise) in regards to Portis. If we are to take Riggins' words at face value, then how good of a RB was he here? I mean, he played behind the legendary HOGS. Anybody could've got great yards behind the holes they created (just look at Timmy Smith ). Of couse, I would never say that. Riggins was great. Hall of Fame great. Portis isn't up in HoF category yet, but he deserves A LOT more credit for the rushing game the Redskins have this year than Riggins seems willing to give him.

DieselPwr44 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Honestly, I think it's just jealousy. Jealousy over what?? John has a ring,Portis doesn't. John singlehandedly carried a team to a Lombardi, Clinton hasn't.....yet. I think that notion is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portis isn't up in HoF ctegory yet, but he deserves A LOT more credit for the rushing game the Redskins have this year than Riggins seems willing to give him. I pretty much agree with this..I think you nailed it. There is the possibility that Riggins just honestly doesn't think Portis is that great a back, a little loony in that thinking, or just the previously touched upon, tremendous ego Riggo has. In the end, purely speculative, but I think it's a bit of both. He probably doesn't care for the comments Portis makes from time to time, with some pettiness and ego mixed in. 44 is a hall of famer and redskin great...in the end good or bad, true or not he can say what he wants lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 He moved to Montgomery County Maryland for the station merger.And they basically have gave all his sports radio hours to Sheehan. Won't you be mad if you move from your house and then you are forced to go to sirus radio because the station put you on ice owned by the owner?

Tastes Like Chicken Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If it motivates CP to produce, even in the slightest then I am all for it. He could be looking at 1,600-1,800 yards this season (knock on nearest wood available). Keep it up, Riggo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Honestly, I think it's just jealousy. Jealousy of the money? Probaly. He is stuggling now. And Portis pockets straight. But not his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aireskoi Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Riggins also said that he would like to see how a great back would do behind this offensive line. He just keeps taking shots at Portis for whatever reason, I guess to protect Buges (in Riggo's mind) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 He has been saying the o-line has been opening up some big holes for CP, and he's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I agree with everything Riggins said. I don't think it takes away from what Portis is doing, but the O line is playing great and deserves most of the credit. I think that is what John is pissed about, you don't throw your line under this bus like Portis did. I love Portis and I did not like his comments at the beginning of the year.

zCommander Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 BONUS QUESTIONS:PLEASE DEFINE THE FOLLOWING: 1. curmudgeon 2. lexicon PCS, you get one bonus point for using the contraction it'll. My opinion to the OP's question, I believe Metalhead has the correct premise. Although he may be pissy about CP's statement earlier in the season, I believe Riggo is not getting the attention he currently craves. Curmudgeon Function: noun Etymology: origin unknownDate: 15681. archaic : miser 2: a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man (Also See Riggins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I think it is probably a bit of everything that folks have said so far, including that from day 1 when he got his radio show he became a bit of a shock jock. But "nothing really matters" What matters is 6-2, leading NFL in rushing, and the team has a good chance to get to the Playoffs. (PLAYOFFS?! PLAYOFFS?!)

MustangSteve Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 We all need to face one thing here. ALL of us were throwing our O line under the bus even late in the preseason. They were getting our QB' killed and couldn't open a hole large enough for a mouse to squirm through. They got completely owned by 3 teams strait in a row, from Carolina, Jacksonville then openening night in NY. Not 1 fan on this board or anywhere else was standing behind our O-line and they deserved to be thrown out there the way they were. Only after they were thrown under the bus, did they come together as a group, and play the way we all expected them to play when healthy and together. After all we all waited years for this same group to finaly play together. I dont blame CP one bit for tossing them under the buss, we all did!

greenspandan Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 i don't think riggins is a jerk, but look. it is only HUMAN NATURE for the #1 redskins runnin back of all time to try to downplay the first guy to come along who has a legitimate chance of challenging that position. portis has not dethroned riggo yet, but some people are starting to say "hey, if he keeps this up..." riggo sees the writing on the wall and even though it may not be intentional or conscious, i think he wants to protect his legacy, his position as the unquestioned greatest.
