Securities Broker Banned For Life After Defrauding Over 30 NFL Players Out Of $40 Million
Statistics show that after just two years of retirement 78% of NFL players are “financially stressed”…in other words broke. This is a fact that is sadly disturbing, and often occurs due to poor spending habits and lack of long-term planning, but another major component to this financial instability is getting and making poor investment choices.
Last week, Florida financial...

Alfred Morris only 104 yards away from a franchise record
Clinton Portis told the Washington Times he is rooting for sixth round draft pick Alfred Morris on Sunday. Why would Portis be rooting for him? Because Morris is just 104 yards away from breaking Portis’ record.
“I’m actually rooting for him,” Portis said. “You never really hear him boast and brag about his accomplishments.”

Meast And Least For Week 12
Today marks the fifth anniversary of Sean Taylor’s death. As the original Meast, there’s no more fitting place for us to honor his memory than here. There are any number of tragic things to consider about Taylor’s death: the family left behind, the promising career cut down way before its true potential could be realized and the fact that justice has yet to be carried out against...

Doug Martin is second player ever to run for 250 plus and score 4 touchdowns
Doug Martin is the second player in NFL history to rush for at least 250 yards and score four touchdowns in one game. Denver’s Mike Anderson is the only other back to accomplish the jaw-dropping feat. Martin also became the first back since 1940 to score three touchdowns on runs of at least 45 yards and easily topped the Bucs’ single-game record for total yards, a mark previously...
Woohoo! Disparaging Dan Snyder Anecdotes!
D.C. has a baseball team in the postseason for the first time since the ’30s as well as a football team with a promising young quarterback but not much else. Somehow, this convergence of exciting sports things in a town that hasn’t had a bunch in a while prompted both Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine to recently dedicate either a cover story or, in the case of ESPN,...
The Redskins Will Have A New Leading Rusher This Season
Roy Helu Jr. is going on season-ending injured reserve with what may or may not be turf toe, which is a questionable season-ending injury. (Yes, I’m questioning the toughness of someone who shuts it down due to turf toe. No, I have no idea how painful turf toe can be. Is it like athlete’s foot?)
You’ll recall Helu was the Redskins leading rusher last season with just 640 yards...
My Top DC Sports Personalities — Past and Present
With Clinton Portis recently retiring, I remembered all the funny personalities he would take on, making it fun to be a Redskins player and fan even though the team was struggling and couldn’t seem to get on the winning side of anything.
This brought me to trying to figure out who (or what) the D.C. Sports fan can call the next “Kid Bro Sweets” or “Bud Fox” (personally...

Mike Shanahan led teams have always been known for productive running backs, often securing 1,000 yard backs. During his tenure in Denver, Shanahan’s team produced 1,000 yard rushers out of the likes of Olandis Gary, Reuben Droughns, Clinton Portis...
Clinton Portis raves about Dan Snyder as ‘best owner in sports’
Emotional retirements can do something strange to a man, like convince him that Dan Snyder is actually a good owner. That’s what happened with Clinton Portis on Thursday.
The two-time Pro Bowler announced his retirement, and in the process he went somewhere very few people, if any, have gone before:
“Best owner in sports, great mentor and friend much respect for MR SNYDER,...
Clinton Portis: a Look Back on an Underrated Redskin
Yesterday afternoon Clinton Portis officially retired from the National Football League. Since Portis had been of the league for over a year his retirement was of no surprise to anyone yet it was still a somber occasion.
When it was announced on Wednesday that Portis would be announcing his retirement at Redskins Park I felt that there should be a cause for celebration. Sure Portis...
Godspeed, Southeast Jerome
Clinton Portis announced his retirement yesterday, ending a nine year career that saw him rush for 75 touchdowns and almost 10,000 yards. Running backs burn fast and bright in the NFL, so the fact that he played less than a decade in the league, and retired at age 30, shouldn’t be all that surprising. It feels like he should be older than that, probably because it doesn’t make...
Clinton Portis wanted to play with Tom Brady and the Patriots
AP
During an appearance on the NFL Network’s NFL AM show former Redskins running back Clintson Portis said that he wanted to prove that he could still play the game of football before he decided to walk away.
“I think I realized, when I first left, that I was ready to walk away,” Portis said of his decision to hang up his cleats. “I think the desire to play again was just...

Clinton Portis Admits He Wanted to Play Behind Tom Brady With Patriots
Running back Clinton Portis worked out with the Patriots last August, and nothing came of it. New England had plenty of depth at the position, and as is customary in preseason, it was likely nothing more than due diligence. However, Portis certainly wishes something could have come from it. After being injury problems led to his release prior to the lockout, 30-year-old wasn'...
Former Redskins RB Clinton Portis Wanted To Play With QB Tom Brady And Patriots
Running back Clinton Portis returned to the Washington Redskins to announce his retirement on Thursday. The two-time Pro Bowl player finished the 2010 season on injured reserve and was released by the Redskins prior to the 2011 lockout, several NFL teams took some looks at Portis last year, but Portis went unsigned.
Among the teams that were interested in Portis last year were...
