JP already detailed Joey Porter’s pointless ranting on this site, but after all the gum-flappin’ Porter did this week, he only had three tackles and hardly saw any screen time. In fact, the most we saw of him was during the pre-game, when they showed him walking around the field, t-shirt rolled up in an apparent attempt to show off just how many crunches he does every day, hollerin’ at what looked to be nobody in particular.
Guys like Porter are so easy to root against. I don’t care what team you play for: If all you want to do is pull focus from the game and onto yourself, you’re a waste of my time as a fan. I want to hear about the game, not about how pissed off you are that Jerramy Stevens said his team was going to beat your team. I want to watch the game, not you celebrating and jawin’ away every time you make a routine tackle.
The worst part about seeing someone like Porter or Terrell Owens or Shannon Sharpe win is they talk even more. Even as a Browns fan, I can admit that it’s cool to see someone like Bettis cap off his career so perfectly. But “Me!” guys like Joey Porter? I prefer to see them on the losing side of things.
