Washington Post: Clinton Portis' Misleading Stats

Today I've got another post up at the Washington Post's Redskins Insider site about how misleading Clinton Portis' rushing yardage totals are. He's managed to post some impressive totals, but he's been a net drag on the Redskins' offense during his tenure in Washington. With his recent injury, it gives the Redskins the chance to reevaluate their running game.

I've had several other posts there too, but some of them are Redskin-specific applications of some of the other concepts and stats I've already written about. But in case you're interested, here they are. Caution: The comments there are unmoderated. You will be dumber after having read them. Outside of the comments, there's been a lot of good feedback, so don't assume there aren't any smart Redskins fans out there.
