I know Clinton Portis is a character. He is. Definitely. But this week’s Press Conference (scroll down to Clinton Portis Press Conference), is a hoot. Excerpts from this week’s conference include:

:18: Wearing a whistle, tight pants, a fake gut and oversized ears as a headset, Portis enters, introduces himself as “Coach Janky Spanky” and says “that Gregg Williams ain’t got nothing on me.”
• :42: Randomly scribbling nonsense, the press corps, usually cracking up during these things, is oddly silent. It almost seems as if Portis is bombing.
• 1:06: The first big laugh: Portis, inexplicably, writes the word “ETTE” on the clipboard and the letters “MS” above it, then draws sharp lines downward. He looks at the reporters: “Look at that. There’s no way you can stop that blitz.”

Wow.

Just watch. And hope that Portis can annihilate the Bucs the same way he does the press corps.
