Portis shows his roots

I'm still in Chicago, so I hadn't heard about this until Chanuck alerted me. (They like to discuss that Florida couple's non-winning lottery ticket and the whales that are stuck in California instead. Seriously, the local channels have reported on such stories every day for the past week rather than actual news.)

Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis defended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in the dog-fighting controversy..."I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property, it's his dog," Portis told WAVY-TV. "If that's what he wants to do, do it. I think people should mind their business."

I swear, this guy is the answer to the media's prayers. Not only does he never know when to shut up, but he says the most deliciously stupid things. Mind their business? What about aggravated assault, rape, murder, or embezzlement, Clinton? Those are felonies too. He'd probably think that's acceptable as well if it's HIS property. Stay away, folks.

But that's not all:

Portis also told WAVY-TV that he knows "a lot of back roads that got the dog fight if you want to go see it" and that "if it's behind closed doors, it's OK."

Listen, you back-roads hick, dog fighting is not only sick and inhumane, but ILLEGAL. Why is this so hard to understand? Oh, I forgot, this is Clinton Portis we're talking about here. I'm a little disappointed that he's a moronic country bumpkin with the intelligence of motor oil, because I enjoyed his colorful press conference personalities. No more.
