Tweet tweet!

Portis "you don't get no phone reception," Um your at a hotel...they have phones in the room, are you kidding me? And half of what he says is grammatically incorrect. THE U, is retarded.

Hey, hey. Before he went to the U it was ALL gramatically incorrect. Guy got a lot out of his time at the U. Guys that go to the UVA are already grammatically correct when they get there. UVA gives them nothing but a network of beer lovers. You could do worse.

I'm just here ..... living on planet Portis!!

For example, before he went to the UVA, NateinthePDX thought that "beer" was short for "root beer."

Long but insightful regarding progress and moving forward.

Interesting note from Portis:

*Portis: “I can’t say I regret it. Everything is a learning experience. Would I say it on the radio again? I doubt it. It’s best to go in his office, knock on his door and go speak my mind in there. We could have avoided the media attention. I don’t regret saying it – it was the truth. That’s how I felt at that moment and I got it off my chest.”

Did anybody see the pic of Portis with blond hair??

SO FAR, Dave Elfin has extracted the most insight out of Gibbs week long media Blitz:

Gibbs: Skins weren't unfair to Campbell
By David Elfin on July 28, 2009 into Redskins 360

Joe Gibbs, who chose Jason Campbell in the first round of the 2005 draft, doesn't feel that the Redskins' front office mistreated the quarterback by trying to replace him twice during the offseason.

"If you're a quarterback in the NFL, you're going to go through some tough things," Gibbs, the only coach to win Super Bowls with three passers: Joe Theismann, Doug Williams and Mark Rypien, said at a Dupont Circle signing for his new book, "Game Plan for Life."

"If you can't handle this kind of stuff, you're in the wrong job. From what I've seen, Jason has handled it pretty good."

True, Portis isn't the most well-spoken individual.

But watch how quick you'll hop on his d**k the minute he goes for 150 on 25 carries and 3 TDs.

Oh, and...

"Um your at a hotel...they have phones in the room..."

Trust, I'm THE last to knock another grammar skills, but how does the saying go: Those who live in glass houses...

t_e, I was gonna say, "Heyyyy...waitaminute!"

But then I remembered that:

1. I didn't have to take any English classes at UVa because I tested out of them.

2. I do love beer.

So...carry on.

Ooooops!

LMAO! My bad home slice...

He regrets it or he doesn't ???

this is all the post has on the skins? how lame. check out the other paper today with an outstanding article

FOR EVERYONE WHO ACCUSES GIBBS OF LEAVING EARLY. JUST NOW THAT HE AND JIM JOHNSON ARE THE SAME AGE. AND ST21's DEATH WAS NO SMALL DEAL ON SOMEONE THAT AGE...

Taylor's murder had big effect on Gibbs
By David Elfin on July 28, 2009 into Redskins 360

It's no accident that Joe Gibbs' new book, "Game Plan for Life" begins with the story of star safety Sean Taylor's murder in November 2007.

That tragedy was pivotal in propelling the Hall of Fame coach, who led the Washington Redskins to their three Super Bowl victories, out of the NFL for good less than two months later.

"Sean's loss had a definite effect on me," the 68-year-old fit and tanned Gibbs said prior to Tuesday's author signing at Books-A-Million on Dupont Circle. "It was an emotional thing. It affected all of us at Redskin Park. I saw a lot of people saying, 'Oh my gosh. How long do I have? Where am I going to spend eternity?' "

Quote of the day:

Watching a flock of geese fly overhead, special teams coach Danny Smith noted the two stragglers and cracked:
"They're not making the 53."

Coach Gibbs: "From what I've seen, Jason has handled it pretty good."

Huh. I didn't realize Coach Joe went to The U.

I saw a lot of people saying, 'Oh my gosh. How long do I have? Where am I going to spend eternity?' "

Am I the only one who DIDN'T ask "Where am I going to spend eternity?"

He regrets it or he doesn't ???

He doesn't, but he learned from it. So, if the same situation happened this season, he wouldn't handle it the same way.......

The Junkies put up their podcast for the day so people can go to WJFK.com to get the podcasts. I believe the segment is titled Around the NFL.

There's no such thing as a talking junkie.

I actually saw a more indepth interview with Gibbs earlier about what his book is about. And I found out he didn't even write the chapters. He got 11 'intellectual experts in their own field to write about the 11 different topics. I might just buy it.....

I didn't

From Elfin:

* DeAngelo Hall looked like the Pro Bowl cornerback he is, strutting to the end zone with an interception of Jason Campbell.

* But Hall didn't look nearly as good being beaten on a long touchdown catch by Kelly.

==============================================

Kelly and DHall will be beasts this year...

Indeed. Oh yeah, how was the VA experience?

Don't be hatin' on "THE U" buttwipe. They are dominating the NFL with players right now. I mean, where would the NFL be without all the star University of Miami grads right now. "THE U" will soon return to their previous glory. Go Canes!!!! And, GO SKINS (although we will be 6-10 and this season).

Yes, the U is for retards, retards that make more in a month than you make in a year. You wish you were portis dont you? No you are much better gramatically. You and portis walk into a room. Who gets noticed? You for your grammar perfection or portis for being one of the leading rushers in the NFL? You cant stand that can you?

(although we will be 6-10 and this season).

Alrighty, maybe I'm directing to much hate towards Portis...his comments kill me sometimes.

We know where you'll be spending eternity T E, the strip clubs, of course!

how can anyone complain about staying in a hotel with the team for a few weeks when they are making millions? I dont understand alot of pro athetes.

Um your at a hotel...they have phones in the room, are you kidding me? And half of what he says is grammatically incorrect. THE U, is retarded.

The proper word is "you're". The word "your" is a possessive pronoun. The word, "you're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are" and is the proper term to be used in your statement.

Can't wait for the Portis & Zorn duet to be singing Kumbaya.
