Steelers Notebook: Porter expects to jaw at White House visit

Joey Porter has a gripe to pick with his head coach and the president of the United States and, as usual, he isn't bashful to speak his mind.

First, the Steelers' linebacker wants to talk with George Bush when the team visits the White House June 2.

"Yeah, I got something to say to Bush, I'm going to have a swagger when I walk in there, too," Porter said, laughing loudly. "I'm looking forward to it. I have something to tell him, too. I don't like the way things are running right now. I feel like he has to give me some of my money back, so I got something to tell Bush."

2. heh, maybe

He certainly doesn't need it, but I'd love for him to say something like that to *, if only for entertainment value.

3. Pro golfers got one...why not NFL players?

Yep, those poor pro golfers...they were starving.

4. sounds pissed at *, not at paying taxes

I'm sure he doesn't enjoy paying them, but I've heard many people say similar things. When he says "maybe they should give some of my money back," sure he is talking about more money than most but that's just because he makes more money than most. He jokingly says he wants it back because he doesn't like the way things are being run something many people feel from time to time.
