PORTIS RANKS THE NFC EAST QUARTERBACKS

Redskins running back Clinton Portis, who is always ready to deliver an entertaining sound bite, ranked the quarterbacks of the NFC East during Tuesday’s edition of The Dan Patrick Show. Portis placed Giants quarterback Eli Manning at the top, given that he is the reigning Super Bowl champ. Next came Tony Romo of the Cowboys, because he’s the leader of a winning team. Then came Donovan McNabb of the Eagles, because the team is always good under his leadership. And finally Portis included his own quarterback, Jason Campbell. Portis explained that, like the Redskins, Campbell is “flying under radar” and to just “pay him no mind.” It was classic Clinton Portis. But if T.O. had pulled a stunt like this, the crawl on ESPN would be proclaiming for the next 48 hours that “Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens rates Tony Romo fourth among all NFC East quarterbacks. And also peed in his coffee.”
