Whenever I hear about awards being returned, victories vacated or other retroactive reprimands, I wonder: What actually happens? In the case of Bush's Heisman, will it be delivered in person, or will he just ship it? Fedex or UPS? Regular Next Day or First Morning Delivery? Does he have to include the original packaging? Did it come in a too-tight box with Styrofoam clamshells and a desiccant package, or was it cocooned in bubble wrap and the ubiquitous foam pellets?
Back to Clinton Portis (like I could let that one go with just reference), his comments are yet another example that athletic prowess does not necessarily make you qualified to comment on other aspects of society (see also Reggie White and the Wisconsin State Legislature) or even your own profession. Women are going to be in the locker room-deal with it. Think it if you have to, but don't say it. Into a microphone. Being held by a working member of the media.
