Smoot: Portis ‘Looks Like a Tadpole’

By Jamie Mottram | November 21, 2008

Cooley’s blog posts Fred Smoot’s “Wired Up” segment, and it’s as good as one would hope, especially the nickname portion where Smoot dubs Marcus Washington “Good Doctor”, Jason Campbell “Willie Fatfield” (which has morphed into “Skinny Benny”) and Clinton Portis “Tadpole” because, well, “he actually looks like a tadpole”:

I see what you’re getting at, Mr. Smoot. It’s in the eyes. And the jewels.

Good stuff from the man whose jersey (the old 21, not the new 27) I wear on gameday, though his Super Bowl commercial doesn’t cut the mustard.

Semi-related: Fast Company names the six best sports bloggers, and Cooley makes the cut (as does Arenas), though I’ve never heard of two of the blogs and a third isn’t about sports. Plus, the line “Cooley’s prose is as effortless and hard-hitting as his brain-rattling tackles” leads one to believe that Fast Company shouldn’t be in the business of sports media criticism.
