Kindof weird how similar they all are, isn't it?  I have a friend who is a big Redskins fan, and a couple weeks ago I watched a Redskins game with him.  Clinton Portis ran for an 8 yard gain early in the game and my friend said "That's like the old Clinton Portis that we've been missing.  Some more of that and the team will be back on track!"  It sounded so much like some Chargers fans I know, when talking about LT, that it was eerie.
