abishagenaden Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yeah, the team-first guy who laughed about dog fighting when Vick's potential involvement first surfaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yeah, the team-first guy who laughed about dog fighting when Vick's potential involvement first surfaced. Irrelevant. He's not on a dog sledding team. This is the NFL, not the Iditarod. That being said, I can't get the link to work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yeah, the team-first guy who laughed about dog fighting when Vick's potential involvement first surfaced. What does that have to do with anything? Portis didn't see it as a huge deal... That doesn't make him a jerk, he just sees something different you do.

piratesownninjas Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 And yes, this further strengthens how big of a fan of Portis I am. This guy is what a real player. And yes, he handed the interviewer his ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider the whole package (incl. intelligence, morals, social awareness, and upbringing), and not just someone's "teamwork" or "generosity".

You must of been one of those guys who didn't care if he won or lost, but just wanted to have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but winning isn't always everything. I'm not saying I wouldn't appreciate having Portis on my team if I were a Redskin -- I'm just saying I would appreciate it more if he had a character etc. worth more of my respect.

Turf Boy Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Just FYI, it's an audio link. May take a handful of seconds to load. I liked what he had to say. Sounds like a stand up teammate. Supporting whoever's on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider the whole package (incl. intelligence, morals, social awareness, and upbringing), and not just someone's "teamwork" or "generosity". Intelligence... Frank Gore has a learning disability... I guess he's a bad teammate. Morals... Who in the hell are you to decide whats morally right or wrong? Each individual has different morals. Just because he doesn't see dog fighting as a felony doesn't mean that he does it himself. Or that he promotes it. Upbringing... My best friends mother was addicted to drugs, his father committed suicide. He had a terrible upbringing. He's also the cleanest, nicest person you'll ever meet... Wrong ! Anyone who doesn't think dogs killing each other and people watching it a "big deal" IS absolutly a jerk. Thank you P.C. Police... Anyone who disagrees with the mainstream is a jerk...

Having a Learning Disability (LD) does not determine if you are intelligent or not. I tested someone whose IQ was in the genius range but had great difficulty reading. His brain simply couldn't process the letters on the page. The way an LD is diagnosed: First, one's IQ is measured. Whatever the IQ turns out to be, it is expected that ones academic skills (reading, writing, math) should fall in the same range. When one's academic skills fall significantly below one's IQ, a learning disability is diagnosed. One should not confuse an LD with mental retardation. A mentally retarded person usually can't read because he has signficant and severe intellectual limitations. Every now and then, I like to drop some knowledge.

Based upon this definition, I think it is fair to say that we have a number of huddlers who have "learning ultra-abilities". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
