"At the end of the day it was never about me. Last week proves it's not about me. You guys make it about [me], and that's fine. As long as we're winning everything will take care of itself," said Porter, who has contributed 12 tackles, 2.5 sacks and forced a fumble in his seven games. "I learned that formula a long time ago. When you're winning things take care of [themselves]. When you're losing you kind of go through the tough times.
Porter stressed all he cares about is winning, and insinuated he's become a target for criticism because of his limited production this season.
"It's really not about what I'm doing. If we were 3-5 and I had the same 10 sacks I had at this point last year ya'll wouldn't be asking me about [my performance]," Porter continued. "Ya'll would be asking me about what's going on with the team. Let's not make this about me. Let's not make this about how well or good I'm playing, if I have 10 sacks or four sacks....Let's keep it real.
"Let's not act like ya'll are worried about me having 10 sacks compared to two and a half. That's not what it's about. That doesn't really matter.... Right now we're 4-5 trying to get back to .500."

Translation: I am sucking and do not wish to hear about it.
 
"Let's not make it about me?" Ummmm... Guess what, Joey? IT IS ABOUT YOU. It's about you because you've talked more than you've performed and it looks as if you've shot your wad after your 17.5 sack performance in 2008. You don't like hearing the negative talk and criticism? Shut your ignorant piehole and do something about it on the field.
 
yea joey F you! go to the patriots!! burn joey burn!! release him for nothing because thats what hes worth!! Brady doesnt have his own rules, Brady is treated equally!!! I cant believe you said that joey, that may have been the only thing you said all year but its enough to make everyone hate you!! bench him!!
 
I like how we've referred to this as his "banishment." Heretical villagers get banished from medieval villages. NFL players get benched.

That's how it should be. The Dolphins aren't paying him to go on NFL Network to act like a clown and talk trash. Porter is supposed to be making his money by pressuring the passer and getting sacks. The two things he is supposed to do, he isn't doing. From the looks of things, if Wake or even Anderson continue to play well, Porter will have a hard time seeing the field.

On other matters, Joey Porter spoke the local media today following his one-game deactivation Sunday. He declined to discuss the reasons behind the deactivation. After what was an uncomfortable give and take, several media members lingered around his locker.

"Ya'll going to wait for me to fart or something?" Porter asked.

Not really, but it might be more entertaining than listening to you shoot your mouth off only to come up limp when the game is on the line.

He has to be upset, a "rookie" from the CFL is showing him up, along with a player in Anderson that has seen how much time??? Stick a fork in Porter the tank is looking empty injury or not.
 
is this our defensive version of T.O. ? eitherway he erupted to and they call it mount owens erupted.
