Clinton Portis Attempts to Squash Beef With TV Azteca Reporter Ines Sainz

For anyone following the NFL since Commandant Goodell took over in 2006, it should come as no surprise that Clinton Portis issued an apology to Ines Sainz faster than one of her 37,000 Twitter followers could translate her latest tweets.

The Redskins running back, who spoke out about the Sainz-Jets locker room mishap over the weekend, gained serious headlines with his views.

“I think you put women reporters in the locker room in position to see guys walking around naked, and you sit in the locker room with 53 guys, and all of the sudden you see a nice woman in the locker room. I think men are going to tend to turn and look and want to say something to that woman,” Portis said in his weekly appearance on 106.7 The Fan.

“You know, somebody got to spark her interest, or she’s going to want somebody. I don’t know what kind of woman won’t, if you get to go and look at 53 men’s [bodies],” Portis added. “I know you’re doing a job, but at the same time, the same way I’m going to cut my eye if I see somebody worth talking to, I’m sure they do the same thing.”

But like any athlete looking to speak his mind in the No Fun League, Portis turtled just days later and tail between his legs, issued a statement. Just like that, a sultry Mexican model made 220-pound professional athlete crumble in the public eye.

“I was wrong to make the comments I did, and I apologize,” the statement said. “I respect the job that all reporters do. It is a tough job and we all have to work and act in a professional manner. I understand and support the team on these issues.”

Quote of the Day

“I looked up, half the stadium was gone when we were up 21 points in the early fourth quarter, which I wasn’t so happy about. I don’t think the Jets fans leave early. They’re going to be loud the whole game.”
—Tom Brady, referring to Patriots fans leaving early on Sunday

Comment of the Day

I always thought that Pats fans old enough to remember sitting at Schaefer Stadium figured TB12 was a vitamin. While I was wrong about that, I can assure you that this reader wouldn’t leave a Pats game early.

“I’ve sat in Schaefer Stadium, Sullivan Stadium, Foxboro Stadium, And Gillette Stadium… TB12 has a point. Todays fans are lightweights… “
