    Clinton Portis dislocated his shoulder in the pre-season game tonight.

    I think he put it best when Andrea Kramer asked how he felt: "It feels like I just finished playing a football game I didn't have any business playing in.":thumb:

    Pre-season games are just assinine for some position players...especially pro-bowlers.

    Yea, pretty much. That's calling out every other coach/gm/owner that insist on such foolishness too though.

    Yeah, I would think that maybe some coaches would have learned given Michael Vick's misfortunes in that regard. I guess not. I'd be pissed if I went out like that.

    Especially considering he was tackling the guy who intercepted a pass!

    Yeah, I just saw that high/lowlight. It was a damn nice hit, too. Screw the pre-season. I just can't get excited about it.

    I've gotta disagree. Players have to get hit and get up to game speed prior to the season opener. The NFL uses the exhibition season as a way to squeeze more $$ out of Joe Fan, but the teams use it to get ready. Portis could just as easily have dislocated his shoulder in practice.
