Joey Porter still has Steelers pride

Why else would he punch out a Bengal?

joey-porter-golf-cart.jpg Miami Dolphins, and former Steelers, linebacker Joey Porter was accused of punching Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Levi Jones after police said the players exchanged trash talk at a casino blackjack table.

Porter was issued a summons on a misdemeanor battery charge after the Sunday altercation that began inside the Palms hotel-casino, Las Vegas police Officer Martin Wright said.

"They went outside. In the valet area, one struck the other, causing a small laceration above the eye," Wright said yesterday, calling the injury minor.

Porter could face up to a year in jail and up to a $1,000 fine, Wright said, but no court date was immediately available.

 So how did this even happen? Did they make a blackjack date at the Palms, Levi Jones says "hit me", and Joey Porter, after slinging back one too many seabreezes, misunderstood? Yep, that's it.

Just another example of the ignorance of overly paid football players. It's a shame that our kids do not have any real roles models now a days. I am a coach and I constantly preach to my kids about looking at someone within thier family as a role model. Plus as big as Joey Porter is, why did he wait till he had his friends with him to start an altercation. Just to many steriods, human growth hormones and so on
