"Last week, tight end Chris Cooley drew the head coach's ire for revealing a small part of team strategy on the radio. This week, running back Clinton Portis has one-upped him, drawing a rebuke from the league for comments he made during his paid radio appearance.

On Tuesday afternoon, Portis apologized for comments he made on 106.7 The Fan Tuesday morning on the controversy surrounding Ines Sainz, the TV Azteca television reporter who was allegedly sexually harassed in the New York Jets' locker room last week.

Portis issued a statement through the team, saying: "I was wrong to make the comments I did, and I apologize. I respect the job that all reporters do. It is a tough job and we all have to work and act in a professional manner. I understand and support the team on these issues."

The NFL also came down on Portis earlier Tuesday but apparently has asked the Redskins to deal with the running back.

"The comments are clearly inappropriate, offensive and have no place in the NFL," league spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement. "We have contacted the Redskins and they will discuss the matter directly with Mr. Portis."

The Redskins also issued a statement Tuesday afternoon. Tony Wyllie said: "The Washington Redskins have a clear and unambiguoous policy about being professional on these issues and we will take the necessary steps to remind everyone about it.""
