Joey Porter is off to a fine start with his new team.

From CBS Sports.com:

Authorities say Arizona Cardinals linebacker Joey Porter has been arrested in Bakersfield on suspicion of drunken driving and accused of assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.

The California Highway Patrol says the 33-year-old player was confronted by officers early Saturday in a fast-food parking lot.
Porter refused to provide his driver’s license and began to roll up his window when asked to leave the car. Police say that when an officer reached to unlock the door Porter slapped the officer’s hand.

Porter eventually got out and complied with orders, placing his hands behind his back. He and a passenger were arrested.

Anyone else get the feeling that it’s going to be a bad year in Arizona? The ultra-classy Kurt Warner retires, then Anquan Boldin is finally traded and now their “prize” free agent is arrested for being a moron.

I wonder if the Cardinals wrote a clause in Porter’s three-year, $17.5 million contract in which he forfeits $2 million for every incident he gets into outside a fast food restaurant.
