Practice Squad
LOSER: Joey Porter.
Porter, the former Steelers linebacker, is a nine-year veteran who should have learned how to conduct himself as a professional by now, especially after getting a contract with a $20 million guaranteed bonus from the Miami Dolphins. But he got in a fight with Bengals tackle Levi Jones in Vegas, an incident that Jones describes as less of a "fight" than a "sucker punch with six buddies backing him up." Porter was lucky he managed to escape serious punishment for the incident, getting charged only with a misdemeanor and fined but not suspended by the league.
WINNER: Ted Ginn.
After Ginn suffered a serious leg injury in Ohio State's loss to Florida in the college national championship game, his draft stock appeared to drop. Instead, Ginn was chosen by the Miami Dolphins with the ninth pick in the NFL draft, guaranteeing that he'll get an eight-figure guarantee on his rookie contract. Dolphins fans weren't happy that their team chose Ginn over quarterback Brady Quinn, but they'll be thrilled if Ginn is as exciting in the NFL as he was at Ohio State.
