The Facts: Following up on a previous update. ... Regarding recent comments he made to a Norfolk, Va., television station, the Redskins released this statement from Portis: "In the recent interview I gave concerning dogfighting, I want to make it clear I do not take part in dogfighting or condone dogfighting in any manner."
Diehards Line:Of course he doesn't. Portis obviously wasn't defending dogfighting as much so much as defending Michael Vick's right to fight dogs in the privacy of his own home. Which one could easily argue sounds suspiciously like condoning dogfighting. ... Nice of Portis to clear that up.
