Portis Hoax Explained

[jjigglers]

this leads you to think: do you think this guy "leaked" this fake story just to snag portis a few rounds later in his draft? if so, he could have gotten a game-breaking team.

[ColtsTD]

LMAO! I love the retraction...

[Azrael]

I guess it's not always a good thing to be the first guy to read that stuff on the internet.

Im guessing Devaney doesn't have a job with sportsline anymore. In the words of Donald Trump, "You're fired."

[GMoney]

thats really funny....

gotta show respect to someone who can make an article look that real.

[The Guru]

My buddy told me at the gym 2day that he heard Portis was out 8-12 weeks. I told him he was crazy.

I guess we we're both right.

The scoop is here and nowhere else

Great prank.
No sympathy for the guys who jettisoned a warm body for Betts or Cartwright. I was desperate enough last year to run Betts and Rock for a week or two each in deep leagues. It won't happen again. They blow.....maybe not like McGahee, but they blow, nonetheless.

ummm WRONG! maybe not #1 or #2 starters, but betts will be a good fill in if you need him to cover a bye week or replace for an injured player. If you try to value the running backs of the redskins based on last year you're only fooling yourself, couple of reasons:
1. it was pass based offense
2. spurrier sucked

that other website blows . . . KUDOS to the crew here

Steve Czaban was talking about this story at the start of his radio show last night. He pointed out the obvious fantasty implications but also something that I didn't think of immediately which was the Vegas affect. Apparently as soon as this was announced, the line on the game dropped by one point, WASH favored by 1 instead of 2. Doesn't sound like much but could cost millions.
