Good interview with Joey Porter. | FinHeaven - Miami Dolphins Forums

Good interview with Joey Porter.

yeah u can also watch the interview on nfl.com just go to videos
 
His last statement is kind of weird. In some ways yes this is a young defense but our secondary and Dt are getting up there. So yes we do need to get younger in some areas. As far as changing perception on Porter. He showed me he can get at the qb better than I ever thought he could as a player and that he is definately not washed up but as a person I know too much about him to feel he is a good guy. He is wrong about how the media does this with football on him and compares himself to being a heel in wrestling. Joey is disliked due to actual things he has done and not made up stuff. Its all about what one knows about a person and hiow they feel. I know he has been involved in dogfighting so unless he makes some helluva changes and comes out against dogfighting I dount my opinion will change much on him. Also maybe if you dont have your posse gangfight one person maybe I have a little more respect for ya.

As a player Joey do your thing and I hope you do it well for us, as a person you might as well be deangelo hall to me.
 
If Joey didn't play for the Fins, I'd hate his guts. Was never a big fan of him as a person. As a player, he works his tail off. I have a little more respect for the guy after watching him rally this team behind him. We are very fortunate to have a leader in Chad Pennington on offense and a leader like Joey Porter on D.

I dont respect him as a leader on defense totally but fot the most part he always comes to play and brings it. his refusing to come off the field still really bothers me as well as his dissapearing act late in the season. personally i think he would be a better leader if he was not so worried about his soundbites.
 
If nothing else i think Joey brought a little bit of desperately needed swagger to our D last year.

Wow! Now that is one of the MOST ignorant statements I've ever read on this message board. How do you "know" he has been involved in dog fighting? I'm pretty sure that would have been all over the media. So, unless you've seen him at a dog fight, then that statement is only your assumption.

I'm a veterinarian, so you'd be hard pressed to find someone outside of PETA that despises people who abuse animals more than me. But, Joey Porter has NEVER been implicated in animal abuse. I remember something about his 2 of his pit bulls escaping and killing a little girls horse or something along those lines. But, that is not animal abuse. That would be negligence in my eyes.
 
I think Porter is a great player that plays with fire and emotion. I can only hope that he is still on the team next year.

How is that an ignorant statement. I have worked with people that have sold fighting dogs. So you think Michael Vick is the only player that has ever fought dogs. Deangelo Hall has fought dogs also but its not like that has been all over the media.Im sure you know everybody that has ever sold drugs because the media is all over that or who took steroids in the NFL. im sure Joey Porter just bought dogs from a guy that sold fighting dogs and took a picture with him for the hell of it. how do i know this I have seen the picture in person because I said the guy was full of crap.
You can believe that he owns his pitbulls for just the sheer pleasure of it. Yea my huskies get out and kill minature horses all the time not.

Regarding Vick’s potential reinstatement to the NFL, Porter said (per ESPN.com’s Tim Graham), ”All it was was dogs. They act like they don’t even like pit bulls anyway. That’s the funny thing about it if you want to get back on that topic. I got pit bulls, I got to put them under a different breed just to travel. So you can’t even fly pit bulls nowhere.”

It’s a breed they don’t care about,” Porter said. “It’s not like he was fighting ****er spaniels or something that they like. They don’t really care too much about pit bulls.

Yea he really sounds like he thinks alot about dogs, sounds kind of like a guy to me that breaks the law to transport animals but of course he would not fight dogs lol. The only reason Vick got caught was they had a drug investigation on his cousin Davon Boddie and raided his house for drugs only to find 60 dogs with evidence of cruelty to them. They then found out it was Vick's house. Let me ask you before Vick was prosecuted did you know that he fought dogs? Of course not its an underground thing, its not like just anybody goes to a dog fight whenever. So the media never publicized that Vick was dogfighting , it was pure bad luck that got him hemmed up on those charges. Now Im sure most NFL players have stopped doing this because they are on the radar now. My point is just because the media doesnt say something makes it no less true.


Yea he just has dangerous dogs around for the hell of it. I dont look at Pitbulls as dangerous but ones that would just kill a pretty good sized animal like a minature horse, yes they are dangerous. be glad it wasnt a child.

if you want to know why we dont hear more about it this article has an explanation for u.

"You know, it's very interesting that we have got a whole roster of names of professional athletes that we know are involved in dogfighting," Goodwin said. "Surely, not every single one has come to light; I bet not even 10 percent have come to light."
If that's true, one reason might have to do with the "code of silence" among dog fighters. The source said many matches take place on rural farms, with lookouts stationed in the woods and down surrounding roads, up to eight miles away. He adds that sometimes, local sheriffs are paid off to look the other way -- that is, when they're not participating in the dog fights themselves. But with as many as 200 people in attendance at any given match, how is it possible that a high-profile athlete can attend dog fights and never have word get out to the general public?
"Dogfighting is a very private thing," answers the source, who said that Vick was still involved in dogfighting as recently as last year. "It's all Pit Bull Men. It's close knit: you got your little boys, then you got your heavyweight boys. It's a completely different class … And now [that] it's all over the media, and you have to keep it more private."


Back to what you said about the dogs killing a horse, as a vet how normal is that behavior? I have been around ranches all my life and have never seen this behavior from a dog.

I guess. Im not in there so you could be right. I guess you could say he set a horrible example not coming off the field and his constant running of the mouth about stuff just to get his name in the papers. Players may look at that differant.
 
there is a link to the video, of the interview, inside the article.
 
You know I always hated Joey Porter when he was in Pittsburgh but there was never a time when I didn't want him on our side. He's one of those guys.
 
the guy is a flat out beast and he got half the sacks for our team and could of easily been defensive player of the year he fired the team up and is a veteran leader ive always loved his fire and passion for the game
