Clinton Portis Interview-Part III

Didn't Pedro Taylor ask LaVar to speak at the funeral? I mean for the most part, if someones father asked you to speak at a funeral, I'd have a pretty hard time saying no. I dont think he'd ask him to speak if there was no type of relationship there between LaVar and Sean. (That statement could be wrong, but I thought that it was Pedro that asked him to speak). I mean Portis has these feelings for a reason too, and he knew Sean better than maybe anyone at the time of his death (including his father). Again thats all on perception, so I dont have a fact to back that up, its just kinda how I saw it.

Not that I'm picking sides in this Lavar Portis thing, because half the time I agree with Lavar and the other half of the time I agree with Portis. The one thing I am sure of though, I want them both to just STFU. I dont want to hear about this crap between two FORMER teamates. This doesnt impact the Redskins at all at this piont, and this rivarly between a member of the media (Lavar) and a Redskin (Portis) is just unprofessional and stupid.

Finally, in terms of Sean Taylor. Can we just stop talking about him now with all this petty stupid sh*t. I will litterally go on for days with anyone who wants to talk about the plays he made, and the memories he gave us, and how much different our team could be with him on it right now... however, I dont care where the man's locker is, I dont care who did or did not speak at his funeral and if people are mad about it now. Just let the man rest in peace. The Redskins did a great job in handling the tribute to him, I still miss the hell out of that guy and for some reason felt a personal type connection with him that I havent with any other Redskin, I dont know if it was meeting him or what it was, but he's in the Ring of Honor, and he'll live in Redskins history forever. I am just sick of hearing about him regarding crap like this. Not that I blame Portis for having some feelings about his friend, but does this really need to be talked about now?



:End Rant:

As long as there are media types around that love to provoke controversial issues, people like Clinton Portis & LaVar Arrington around to continue fueling them, they'll always find a way into discussion.

I agree with the fact the topic should no longer be an issue, but Sean ike so many others who are gone but will never be forgotten or allowed to RIP will forever spark our conscience to remember.

It could have been that Pedro Taylor was not aware of any friction that may have existed between Sean and LaVar at the time of his asking.

Right, I dont want Seans Memory to die. LIke I said, I could talk about the memoreis and play of the guy all day long...its the fighting and bickering over stuff that I just dont want to hear about...

bout time, heard a bit about the Lavar thing last night.. joked with Chris that it was taking so long cuz he had to run it through legal.. he tweeted back just some complications, he's pretty good about responding..alright time to read

LaVar plans on responding today at 5 PM. It's gonna be good.

well that was over-hyped

Well, he was asked about it. I almost have to take fault with the interviewer who in all likelihood knew that mentioning LaVar was going to bring a "juicy" response.

That doesn't excuse him in my book. Interviewers always ask questions to try and get juicy responses and it's up the player to be smart enough not to fall into the trap. Portis has no filter on that flapper of his. And frankly he is not good enough anymore on the field to make his antics even close to being a fair tradeoff. It's the offseason now so this will blow over without any harm being done but it's not like when the season starts he won't still be spouting off about whatever is on his mind.

Clinton is gonna talk no matter what, that's who he is. All I'm concerned about is him showing up to camp in top shape and ready to work. Shanahan won't let him become a distraction, I'm not even worried about it.

I hear you...I agree that Shanny will handle it. I am just sort of done with him personally. I think we can have a good running game regardless and I really don't care if he's on the team or not.

I was also under the impression that Sean's father asked Lavar to speak. I really don't know why anyone would bother to interview Portis anyway. SOS...different day.

CP just needs to shut his mouth and worry about football.
