Anyone here heard what Portis said---he basically defended Vick (which isn't a bad thing), but he went too far in saying that it's just dog fighting and it's no big deal and it happens and if it happens in (Vick's house) closed doors, it shouldn't matter cause what goes in your house is your business. What a knucklehead!

Yeah, because we all know that it's OKAY to do something illegal as long as you do it on your own property. Seriously, I have zero respect for both Vick and Portis. I hope the commissioner does some serious reprimanding with Vick. :x

Clinton Portis is a chump, the only reason he was ever good was because he was on one of the best running teams in the leauge (Denver).

Portis:

I think people should mind their business, you know. I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property, his dog, if that's what he wants to do, do it.

Here's a link with a few quotes, it actually gets worse. He seems to accuse people judging Vick of being child molesters and says that if Vick is convicted he must have been "cheated".

I doubt he made many friends at home when he said this as well:

I'm from Laurel, Mississippi, so I know a lot of backroads that got a dog fight if you want to go see it.

I'm sure the local chamber of commerce will pounce on this advertising opprotunity...

Yea hes wierd I mean you don't conduct a interview and says its ok to do something illegal hes a joke.  He can be funny at times with is alter-egos but what hes saying its pretty serious.  He should just shut up and worry about how the Redskins again won't be a contender and that he can't stay healthy.

Suspension? I hope so, but it will probably be 2-4 games which is still great for me for two reasons: 1.) He'll realize what he's condoning is wrong and 2.) I'm a Panther's fan :D

I hate Vick, but agree with Portis. Whatever he choses to do in his spare time is his business, illegal or not. Sure it's a stupid thing to do, but it's no one but Vick's business.

Having dogs maul each other for your entertainment is wrong.  How involved Vick it is not clear to me but I haven't heard him say much at all about it.

Even that aside Vick like other players in the NFL are high profile representatives of a business.  In this case the NFL, and the team they play for.  Their actions reflect on that organization and the NFL.

If Vick doesn't want any criticism, or attention for this stuff he should put down the ball and walk away.

WHO FREAKIN CARES???

Personally many of you think it is against the law only because the "law" says it is. Having dogs fighting is bad but it is not the same thing as murdering people. Unfortunately for Vick it is against the law and he just needs to stop it but if you think I have less respect for what Portis said, then you are wrong. I really do not even care. Why don't you all just join PETA or something. You'd be surprised as to how many professional athletes do illegal things.

How about he harp on about how Luke Walton smoked weed in college, for that is also illegal in the good ole United States of America:roll:

How about us arresting the commanding officers and our president for killing our soldiers in Iraq?

No, murdering people and having dogfights are not even in the same ballpark. Sure dogs will get killed but most people believe a human life is worth more than any animals.

Also to clean up my post I hate to see a dog hurt in any way, shape, or form so no I do not condone what he is doing, it actually disgusts me.

I really don't know what you are trying to say, that you don't care but you care that other people care? Let me guess, you don't vote, you don't support any particular political issue, don't care one way or another, but you like to complain afterwards.

Yeah, athletes should only state the obvious when asked for their honest opinion about on any given situation. If only Tim Hardaway, Clinton Portis, Curt Shiling, or Donavon McNabb had listened.  >_>

i think clinton portis doesn't realize how big a deal this is. Dog-fighting isnt right.I support it being illegal and anyone who does it should have some kind of serious offense aganist them.
