Sheriff I Ain’t Blockin’ Shit.Worry not edge rushers of the AFC, because Clinton Portis has made it quite clear that he will be doing ZERO pass blocking at Sunday’s Pro Bowl. But will he attempt to clothesline a defensive back after Kurt Warner throws a pick? Only time will tell. [Chris Cooley]

So by saying Portis won’t be blocking anyone in the Pro Bowl all we are really saying is he is going to play this one like he does a regular season game.
You must not watch a lot of football.
WTF, TPT? Portis is maybe the best back in pass-protection in the game! In fact I’d take him at tackle over Willie Colon any day.
And ah, because a back has 1400 yards in a season doesn’t mean he isn’t closing in on wash up. LT had 1400 and 15 tds in 2007…

When Portis retires, we need him to replace Jerome Bettis or Tiki Barber or Emmitt Smiff. He’d be far superior to them.
Which is exactly why it won’t happen.
Did anyone see Portis interview Eli?
“Way to blow smoke up my ass Eli.”
Jesus Christ, even Moorman himself went out and congratulated Taylor on the hit. Let it go.
It’s probably the new glasses.
Sorry – it was a fake punt in the pro bowl. Doesn’t change my stance though.
Nice hit. It’s still the fucking Pro Bowl and nobody cares.
Dipshit- Brian Moorman was leveled by Sean Taylor while running a fake punt with the ball in his hands. He wasn’t simply “jogging down the field.”
@maj
fair point. I’d take the under on that in 2k9 though.
He should wait until a punter is jogging down the field, then level him in a game that means shit. People will adore him.
Rob- 1487 yards 4.3 YPC 9 TD
Yep, just about washed up.
@Otto: As long as he still gets Free Willy, I think he’ll be ok.
Portis may be closing in on Washed Up Status… but by god, he’s an All Pro when it comes to overall entertainment value.
Those glasses look like they came off one of the characters of the Guess Who game.
If he keeps wearing those glasses, he’s going to get thrown off that jury for sure.
At least he’s honest. He basically said “fuck the game, let AP and Turner risk their careers, I’m here for reef diving and bitches with coconut titties.”
+1 Portis for the shark repellent reference.
Portis has got that 1000 yard stare down pat. Nam does that to a person, ya know.
