What is Portis' Motivation for This?

I don't ever recall Riggins being disrespectful to coaches. A pain the ass sometimes? Yep. Not having any respect for authority? I don't ever remember that. Zorn is on a short leash and CP knows it.

I agree, CP knows he works for DS (not Zorn as it should be) and DS will back him no matter what.

What did he win when he sat out an entire season? Had he won anything then?

The bottom line is Riggo is a super bowl champion, hall of famer and the guy who made maybe the biggest play in Redskin history. CP has played in 4 playoff games with a grand total of 214 yds and 0 TDs. I have no problem with Riggo being critical of CP.

I guess this is proof of how PFT works. Truth or not some people take this stuff and run with it.

Wow. PFT went a tad defensive no??

Yeah for someone who "doesn't give a shit" he sure seems to go out of his way explaining himself.

Florio = the Perez Hilton of the NFL.

Seriously. It's not like CP went after him hard. All he said was that he was trying to stir things. Stop the presses! That's half of what Florio does.

Thanks for not answering my question, wouldn't have expected you to

I think both Riggins and CP march to the beat of their own drummer and speak their mind, no matter who's listening (or not listening).

I found this to be a tad ironic:



Len Pasquarelli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Pasquarelli) - Florio often alleges that Pasquarelli, a senior ESPN.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESPN.com) writer, defends players represented by certain agents by writing overly positive articles in an effort to help out the player and thus the agent. Florio claims that Pasquarelli does this to keep on the agents' good side so that the agents will continue to supply Pasquarelli with inside information. PFT often refers to Pasquarelli as "Pastabelly"[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profootballtalk.com#cite_note-2) and "Don Vito". PFT has also alleged that Pasquarelli has a bias against the Washington Redskins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Redskins), writing columns that have criticized the organization, the death of Sean Taylor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Taylor), the second retirement of Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Gibbs), and owner Daniel Snyder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Snyder). He later admitted that his attacks were "in the early days when we we're trying to get noticed."[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profootballtalk.com#cite_note-3)

I agree that they both march to the beat of their own drummer however I dont think Riggio cared if anyone was listening. IMO, CP does his silliness because he's so insecure that he craves attention. CP would be very upset if the media ignored his antics.
