Joey Porter's comments

[Bill McBlueState]

Did you guys see the full text of Joey Porter's comments on the blown interception call? Wow. The part in bold, that's come up in some of my drunken rants in the past, but I never thought I'd see it in the national media. He's getting a fine, that's for sure.

"We dominated the whole game -- till the referees wanted to help them. I couldn't believe they were going to try to cheat us like that, for real. That was my thing. After we made that play, I thought the game was over. ... I'm going to get in trouble for it, I already know I'm going to get in trouble for it, but I'm ready to pay anyway, because that's how mad I was with the refs out there. That was the worst I've ever been a part of. When you play in games, you feel like it might not be going your way. But that was cheatin' right there, man.

"C'mon, y'all seen it, man. What do we gotta do to make an interception? He caught the ball, rolled on the ground, got up and knocked the ball out of his hand with his knee. How can you say that's not an interception? It was just one of those games, the world wanted Indy to win so bad, they were going to do whatever they could. It was like the 9/11 year when they wanted the Patriots to win it for the world, just for the patriotic of the world. That's what they wanted for Indy today. They wanted (quarterback Peyton Manning) to win that game no matter what happened. They want him to win that game and they were going to give him all the opportunities to win it."

1. The last time Joey played in Denver

He got shot in the ass after the game.

2. No fine - NFL too embarrassed that the zebras blew the call

Latest I heard was Cowher told Joey they're not fining him!

And he spoke the truth! :)

4. Joey Porter - Sounds of the Game

I laughed my ass off in the post game locker room segment. Bettis was in the middle of the team and he told them that they backed up "Peezy's" (J. Porter) words when he said the Steelers were the tougher team. In the background you could hear Cowher yell out "Joey can you please keep your mouth shut this week!"

Then a few seconds later Porter (this is where I almost choked) when psyching the boys up said...
"THEY SHOT ME IN DENVER"...

I love it when Porter loses his mind in the after-game locker "Who Ride" chant...

6. League is tougher on coaches who say stuff like that.

Not so much players.

The call reversal was just stunning.
