When you’re the best blocking running back in the NFL, you’re allowed to take the Pro Bowl off.

My only opinion of this is that I would hate to see another team’s QB get hurt because Clinton Portis did not make much of an effort to try to stop a charging LB from taking him out. Hopefully, Potis’s competitive nature will ensure nothing like that happens.

Lol, Im sure he will do more then enough in the Pro Bowl. Anyone who can’t tell that he’s messing around is out of there mind. Id be messing around to if I was the best blocking HB in the NFL.

Why should a player risk his career for a game that means nothing and most fans don’t even watch or care about? As an AVID NFl fan for twenty years, I’ve not once watched the Pro Bowl. I’m actually glad when my favorite players don’t make it. It should be cancelled altogether.
