Tight end Kellen Winslow and linebacker Joey Porter have kick-started the smack talk again in preparation for Sunday’s Browns-Dolphins game. In two meetings last year, the two players jawed at each other before, during and after games, as well as took physical shots at one another. Porter, who was playing for the Steelers at the time, ended up calling Winslow an ethnic slur and was fined $10,000 by the NFL.

Well, they’re at it again:

“He’s a receiver, really,” Porter said. “He’s not a tight end, because he’s not going to block anybody. If you ask me who’s going to win the Joey Porter-Kellen Winslow battle: Me.”

“I think Joey Porter needs a hug,” Winslow said, smiling. “He’s so angry, man.”

“It really hasn’t been a war,” Porter said Wednesday. “It’s been one-sided. I’ve never lost to him. It’s like me picking on my little brother.”

“I’m not into the individual-battle thing,” (Winslow) said. “It’s a team thing. We’re 2-3 and they’re 0-5 and we’re looking for a win. He doesn’t have to worry about me. He should be worried about the team concept. They’re 0-5 right now.”

“I’m sure he will,” (Winslow) said. “The only reason I did that [offer the handshake] last year was to give our team some confidence and get them going a little bit. But again, I’m not worried about Joey.

“He’s not even their best player.”

Up until his, “He’s not even their best player” comment, I think Winslow showed some maturity. Personally, I think Porter should just shut his mouth and play. He’s not in Pittsburgh anymore and maybe instead of jawing with opponents or guarantying wins, he should worry about why Miami has the NFL’s second worst run defense.
