Redskins '06 (http://washingtontimes.com/sports/20060906-044829-6379r.htm)

Portis Appears Unlikely to Play In the Opener (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/07/AR2006090701697.html)
His colorful costumes turned each Thursday last year into his personal comedy routine, but Clinton Portis yesterday played a role he didn't particularly enjoy.

"This is the first Thursday you're going to see me injured and hopefully it will be the last one," said Portis, who suffered a partial separation of his left shoulder in the Washington Redskins' first preseason game against Cincinnati. "Today, I'm the Injured Man. But, hopefully, we can change things. I want to get back on the field as soon as possible, and try to help my teammates."

No problem. We had a change recently where we try to keep 90% of the news articles in this daily thread. That way the board isn't cluttered with lots of one-offs. Only stories that would really spawn a lot of discussion (Portis being out for example) are done as individual threads.

Thanks!

me, too. i agree with that move. it looks like ndukwe is far closer to being nfl ready than pino..

but i thought that some had said that ndukwe was NOT eligible for the PS ???

Jason La Canfora should never, EVER use the word "dope" when trying to describe something he perceives positively.
