Yes,it was a pretty sad thing to see.Guy(Portis) talked like dogs were fish or something.They say the unreported part of the interview is even worse than that.No,sir,ya can't commit a felony(even if it is your own property.)

I read a little on this and a few points come to mind...first, Portis has shown both a lack of compassion and a lack of knowledge of the law; his remarks are sad indeed. Vick hasn't even been charged yet, there may or may not be evidence that he was involved in dog fighting so I won't comment regarding his guilt (or innocence). What I will say is that if he is subsequently convicted of what would be a felony, that would constitute the basis for a lifetime ban from the NFL imo. Portis has a right to his opinion but so do the fans, as a life-long Skins fan, I'd rather not have him or anyone who feels as he does on the team...I hope that message gets through to management. I've read some comments left at sites (ok, I've read a lot)...some folks agree with Portis, some are using this to make racial slurs, I find both mindsets offensive. For the record, I stand with my PETA friends on this one...everyone proven to be involved MUST do significant jail time

somer, portis Sounds 10 times worse, opposed to reading it. you really need to hear. portis and vick took a beating on espn radio yesterday.
vick needs jail time and the nfl needs to get rid him and the rest of the trash that's come into the league.

I think large dogs ought to start kidnapping stupid fb players and have stupid fb players fighting to death.
It's simple...if the dumb azzes don't see anyhting wrong with the dogs doing it......then they should have no problems this way either. Oh pro sports is all about money and jackazzes who can't handle it. Personally I think anyone who supports this madness with ticket and yuk'em up purchases is as nutty as most of them are.

I watched the interview with him and Samuels today, Samuels was mainly saying that Vick is entitled to the same treatment as anyone else (innocent until proven guilty) and I agree with that but then even he fell into the mindless trap of..."it's only cause he's famous" and "other people do worse things". Portis obviously thinks it's a big joke and his comments hinted that other NFL players perhaps even him are likewise involved in dog fighting. This is serious business for the NFL and I hope they have the guts to deal with it! My position will not change...anyone convicted of this horror should be banned for life from the NFL and jailed (two states don't consider it a felony, 48 do)...in any event, I don't want to see folks like this making money in the NFL to support their perversion!

IN all honesty, I don't think it's all that bad. I don't agree with it, but lets get real, just as we may rip these guys to shreds, there are those who think horse racing is barbaric and cruel and in many ways it really is, yet we'll respond in ways that Portis is responding to dog fighting detractors. We drug these animals mercilessly, perhaps cruelly at times simply so we can bet on them. Many die needlessly for our enjoyment. And this is a whole lot different than dog fighting how?? If Portis grew up with dog fighting, I really can't criticize him that much for thinking as he does. I certainly enjoy horse racing , but I can't help thinking how cruel it is often. IF I take drugs it is my choice. These horses have no choice.
Let the ripping and shredding of me commence!!!
