Athletes - Joey Porter

Joey Porter (born March 22, 1977 in Bakersfield, California) is an American football Linebacker who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He attended Colorado State University. Porter is a co-captain for the Steelers' defense.

One of Joey's greatest feats was collecting 3 sacks and 2 interceptions in a game against the Oakland Raiders in 2002.

Controversy

Porter has been known to get in conflicts with other players, league officials, and other teams.
  • Porter was ejected from a 2004 game against the Cleveland Browns after getting in a fistfight with Browns running back William Green.
  • Porter is often known to taunt other teams during warmups, where the prior altercation took place.
  • Before Pittsburgh's divisional playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts, Porter made these comments:
:"They don't want to just sit there, line up and play football. They want to try to catch you off guard. They don't want to play smash-mouth football, they want to trick you. ...They want to catch you substituting. Know what I mean? They don't want to just call a play, get up there and run a play. They want to make you think. They want it to be a thinking game instead of a football game."
  • After the Indianapolis game, Porter claimed that the referees had unfairly called an interception by Troy Polamalu
    an incompletion because they favored the Colts, stating, "The whole world wanted Indy to win so bad, they were going to do whatever they had to do." Although Porter was expected to be fined for these comments, he never was (players are usually not fined for these kinds of comments).
