2005 Most Bizarre Athlete
This honor goes to Washington Redskin’s running back Clinton Portis.
I’m surprised I haven’t commented on this all season, but better late than never. All season long during his press conferences, Portis would dress up as a different persona. There was “Sheriff Gonna Getcha”, “Dr. I Don’t Know”, the deceased “Southeast Jerome” and plenty more.
This week, Portis resurrected “Southeast Jerome” and sent him to heaven with his friends. It is quite a bizarre sight.
Dennis Rodman back in the day was just shocking for shock value. Portis is just fucking weird. And this is why I hope that the Redskins make it to the playoffs despite their oh-so slim chance.
