Intersting how this subject wasn't brought up here LOL....

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Steelers linebacker Joey Porter should have stuck with "Huckleberry."

That's what he called Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr.
after the teams played Nov. 19. It was not a term of endearment by any
interpretation. But it was a thousand times better than what Porter
called Winslow after Winslow took a cheap shot at Steelers linebacker
James Farrior late in Steelers' 27-7 victory Thursday night.

"I have no respect for that guy. He's a [slur]," Porter said into the
television cameras, using an insulting term that describes a person's
sexual orientation.

"He's soft, man, he's soft."

Even for Porter, that was way over the edge.

He didn't just embarrass himself.

He embarrassed the Steelers.

Bill Cowher is expected to meet with Porter today to discuss exactly
that when the players report back to work at the team's South Side
headquarters. He called Porter's comments "inappropriate" during his
weekly news conference yesterday.

I agree PORTER does definitelty need to STFU.... even when our season is at
our lowest, he still talks.....

I think Porter is wrong as well.... he should have called Wins..low what he is,
"a classless piece of shit!" ... instead of this pussy soft shit...

I wouldn't go as far as to say that he embarrassed the whole Steeler
organization.

BC's right when he said that it was "innappropriate", though. Probably
should have to say he's sorry and pay a fine.

Yawn, nothing else exciting going on this year, now everyone's zeroing in
JP's smack. He's been talking like this forever. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I
see this as a big non-story.

How ironic that would have been. He should have said that.
