Is Anyone Worried About This?

by bigrm18 on Jun 19, 2009 1:10 PM EDT

According to profootballtalk.com and their sources, Clinton Portis has been giving Jim Zorn a hard time.

Multiple sources have advised us that Portis shows little or no respect to coach Jim Zorn, and that the situation bubbled over at least once during the team’s OTA sessions, with Portis telling the coach off in front of other players.

Said one source: “Portis totally has no regard for [Zorn] and thinks he’s above everyone.”

I seriously hope this isn't true, but I think it's a high possibility that they may have been feuding in some way during the OTAs. We all saw what happened with Zorn and Portis last year so I could definitely see something similar happening again. Also considering the fact that Portis didn't want to be at the OTAs, I could imagine Portis not doing what he was asked and Zorn confronting Portis for it, only for Zorn to be disrespected and blown off by Portis.

We all know that Portis is held on a high pedestal by Snyder so even if he's is in the wrong, Zorn will be the one that is disciplined, possibly by being fired. I like Portis and his high productivity on the field, but if this is true he needs to know that no one is above the team. He needs Zorn and Zorn needs him in order to accomplish our goal of winning, I just hope Portis eventually realizes this.

Portis and Zorn buried everything last year and there have been ZERO incidents this summer at Redskins park between the two.

Florio needs to be sent to Kabul.

Florio is a Beagles fan who now officially has ZERO credibilty. What an ass clown!

The only way Zorn is getting fired is if our team underachieves on the field.

I contacted the Redskins on this one too

100% false. The fact he backs up his arguments w/ quotes from last year is laughable…actually a disgrace.

“And we assume that Redskins fans (including some bloggers who lack the ability to be objective because they’re more concerned about seeing their favorite team be successful than they are about getting to the truth) will blindly accept the version of the events being told by Portis and quarterback Jason Campbell and anyone else with a vested interest in keeping the team’s dirty laundry in the locker room.”

Wow, nice...

I liked this line…

Clinton, we honestly don’t give a shit. We use the stuff we get that we think our readers will find interesting. And when a credible source tells us that you mouthed off to your head coach during offseason workouts and another credible source corroborates the notion that you have no regard for Zorn, then it’s something we’re going to share with our audience.

Hooray!!! More ammo for me against the Redskins fans!!!
