Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth

wow, that is hilarious.

they are so cool. I want to be their friends.

Maybe Portis can return the favour after a game one day. :)

No comment!


Clinton Portis declines to comment, with help from Albert Haynesworth

Clinton Portis and Albert Haynesworth performed a scripted skit for reporters in the locker room Thursday afternoon in which Portis declined to answer questions and Haynesworth covered the running back's mouth with strips of black athletic tape.

A Redskins media relations official informed reporters that Portis, who, in a prepared statement, apologized for inappropriate comments he made about female reporters earlier this week, was ready for his scheduled weekly media availability.

When reporters approached Portis at his dressing stall, however, he initially did not speak. When a reporter asked Portis about his ill-advised comments during the radio interview, he held up a spiral notebook with "No Comment" written on one of the pages while Haynesworth, standing to Portis's left, tore a piece of tape and applied it to Portis's lips.

When a reporter asked about Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, Portis turned the page and held up the notebook again: "Thanks For Coming." Haynesworth applied another piece of black tape.

As reporters continued in vain to engage Portis, up went the notebook twice more with: "God Bless You" and "Have A Good Day." Haynesworth did his part with more tape, and then the players left the locker room together.

Redskins officials probably would prefer that Portis's lips remained perpetually sealed. He occasionally has inserted his foot into his mouth during interviews -- though not to the extent of his misstep this week -- or has stirred controversy by ripping former head coach Jim Zorn and quarterback Jason Campbell.

But this was Portis's first opportunity to explain himself after making comments that, at the very least, displayed some insensitivity on the subject of female reporters. It does raise questions about how sincere Portis's apology was. Perhaps the Portis-Haynesworth two-man act should go on the road. It didn't play well in Ashburn.

What was there to explain? Clinton just stated his views, which to me, made sense. You don't have male reporters in a WNBA or any other female locker room so you don't have any sexual incidents or people feeling awkward about having total strangers of the opposite sex checking you out, etc. The way that gal usually dressed from all those picks tells me she wanted to provoke a reaction or get some attention. What Portis said is true. You are telling me a young woman, obviously trying to get a guy worked up with provocative clothing, isn't checking them out while they are in the buff or semi in the buff? Do you think all men will have no problem having a strange woman walking around with them in the nude? THe whole things smacks of typical PC double standard stuff. Guys are pigs and girls are frigging angels. This is 2010, not 1950.

Last year Rak had his best sack day against Oakland, when AH did not play.

JaMarcus Russell had super glue on his hands that day. He just wouldn't even try to release the ball. His pocket presence was about some of the worst I've seen. The only other guy who I saw display similarly awful pocket presence was David Carr.

If I had a locker room assignment with 53 naked women walking around, I would have to wear sunglasses.

You can see through sunglasses.

But they can't see your eyes!

Yes you do have men in female locker rooms

but the women are usually given more time to change.
