Saturday, February 6: Clinton Portis vs. Man vs. Food
So Clinton Portis has been making the TV rounds lately. He was on ESPN, as you might expect, talking about the offseason, his relationship with Jason Campbell, and so on. He was on NFL Network, as you'd probably guess, talking (in third person, no less) about the offseason, expecting to be back with the Redskins, how great next year could be for Jason Campbell, and so on.
And, as you would immediately assume, he was on Man Vs. Food Live on the Travel Channel, eating a whole bunch of chicken wings and watching the show's host, Adam Richman, eat an enormous steak.
Of course he was. This is a guy whose previous TV credits include appearances on America's Next Top Model and MTV Cribs.
Portis is still in Miami pending the Super Bowl, so I wasn't able to ask him about this. Fortunately, there are plenty of other people in Miami who were willing to ask him on my behalf. And he was more than happy to explain.
"My agent told me about the opportunity," he said bluntly. "It was a great opportunity and I had a fun time."
But what about the chicken wings, which were described as insanely, scorchingly hot? "I love to eat chicken wings," Portis said. "I wasn't expecting them to be so good, so that really surprised me. They were really good."
In the end, this was just another offseason opportunity for Portis. "I thought this would be really fun," he said. "It would be challenging and fun, so I thought, 'why not take part in this and have some fun?'"
He stopped for a second, considering, then added, "Plus, I wanted to see the man eat a 48 ounce steak. Now that is impressive."
Huge thanks to the Travel Channel for the video. You can see Portis enjoying his chicken wings, find out which team won the wing-eating relay, and "see the man eat a 48 ounce steak" when the show re-airs on the Travel Channel Saturday at 9:00 p.m., and Sunday at 8:00 p.m. For those joyless people among you who don't care about this kind of thing and yet are still reading, the video from Portis's NFL Network appearance is below.
And, what the heck, here's the ESPN appearance too.
