Redskins ask Portis to change ways
There was a time when Clinton Portis would spend a good portion of the offseason in Miami's South Beach, relishing the spoils of his profession. The Redskins running back still enjoys his weekends as much as anyone, flashing that devilish smile when the topic of partying is raised, but his more regular attendance at Washington's offseason workout program has been a departure from years past. Portis is taking a more mature and healthy approach to his preparation, he says, at the behest of team owner Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, the vice president of football operations. Snyder and Cerrato provided another apparent impetus in the form of a lucrative new contract for Portis -- despite his injury and conditioning issues the past two years -- essentially guaranteeing his contract through 2010, a rarity in a league of non-guaranteed contracts.

As I have been saying all along, Dan and Vince will eventually eclipse Gibbs, Allen and even Cooke as true servants of the Skins. Their unworthy enemies and competitors will be ground into the dust in the next four seasons.

OK, so as I read this headline the Redskins want Portis to change his ways. The article says he is attending the offseason workouts. They want him to change that? Is there a part of the article that is missing or did some headline writer not read the article?
