I don't think Portis supports dog fighting, I got the impression that CP just thinks there are more important things going on in the world and we shouldn't jump to conclusions and judge Vick until all the facts are known.
I don't agree with him, but at the same time if he shows up on Sunday and does his job that's all I really care about in the end.

You need to listen to what he said again. I came across with the impression that he was implying that:
1. Its just dog fighting (did not bother him it was cruel way to treat an animals.
2. Their Vick's dogs to do what he wants with them. (thats just stupied)
3. Private property and in his home which is no ones business. (The fact that its illegal didn't seem to bother him).
By his statement I would have no idea if he supported dog fighting or not but if I was forced to bet either way I have to say he does not have a problem with dog fighting. I do realize that people are raised in different ways so they think differently about thing like this. Take a person who raises chickens and will go out ring ones neck then eat it for dinner. To some people this would be very cruel but for allot of people its everyday life. I'm not totaly down on Portis.
Either way I really don't care what his views are on things. He's just a person like the rest of us, just because he puts on a uniform and plays a game doesn't make his opinion any more valuable than anyone else's.
Do I agree with him, no. But frankly I really don't care what he thinks or says.

that is ridiculous when samuels was laughing because he was nervous
Samuels was nervous? What would he have to be nervous about? Its not like this is the first time he was ever on TV. Samuels may have been a lot of things during that interview but he was not nervous.

I think CP was saying the dogs, the house, & the property belong to Vick and because of that he can do what he wants (legal or illegal) with his stuff on his property so shut up and mind your own business. I dont know if CP likes or does not like dog fighting but obvoiusly illegal activity does not bother him and he thinks it should not concern us as it was all done with and on private property.
Like you I dont put much worth in what these guys say outside of blocking & tackling but I think a lot of people on this site and fans in general do.

Probably one of the better assessments, thus far.
