You can take the homeboy out the hood but you can't take the hood out the homeboy


Just over a year ago Joey Porter and Jerramy Stevens battled in a war of words prior to Super Bowl XL. I thought the media was grasping for any type of trash talk to stimulate interest in the game. Before this verbal battle, the biggest story of the game was Jerome "fat ass" Bettis returning to Detroit. Long story short, Stevens dropped many important passes, the refs bent over the Hawks and the rest is history.

So its kinda ironic that during the heart of the NCAA Tournament, these two jokers are back to making bad news. Porter had an exciting weekend in Vegas without "making it rain." This is what the Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting:

A National Football League player was cited for misdemeanor battery after he punched a league rival in the face Sunday night at a gaming table in the Palms, Las Vegas police said.

Linebacker Joey Porter, a longtime Pittsburgh Steeler who signed a five-year, $32 million deal with the Miami Dolphins this month, was cited for the brief fight he had with Levi Jones, an offensive tackle with the Cincinnati Bengals, in the casino about 6:55 p.m., Las Vegas police Lt. Kevin McMahill said.

"Apparently these two have a history with each other, a history of trash talking on the field," McMahill said.

This guy has issues. And those issues revolve around rage. So what kind of substance when injected into one's body would result in problems controlling rage? Milk? No. Vitamin B-12 shot from Miguel Tejada? Possibly. Many years of Steroids?? Ding. Ding. Congrats Miami on your new free agent!
