Steeler runs mouth, is dumbass
In the run-up to an NFL playoff game, there is plenty of opportunity for a player to talk some trash. However, for Joey Porter, it’s also a chance to show everyone how to rationalize getting your ass beat down in the regular season. Take this quote, referring to the Steelers’ previous matchup with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night 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.
Okay, let’s see: offensive yards gained for Watch-Settin’ Johnny Unitas’ boys: 372 yards.
Uhm, I’ll take the thinking man’s game, then, thank you very much.
And, hey, look! Edgerrin James ran for over 100 yards on the defense that week. What say you, Sir Porter?
I still think it was a cheap 100.
*SIGH* Stick to ‘dem guns, Joey. It’s not a lie…if you believe it.
The moral of this story: never trust the opinion of anyone over the age of 13 that still calls themselves Joey.
For some awesome lessons from someone who knows how to give a pre-game press conference, I give you Clinton Portis.

He was prophetic.. give him credit. The colts need to go away and hide…they totally wuss out when the playoffs begin.
