* chatters at the Steelers:
Joey Porter Manages Not To Kill And Eat The President

“I want to — look, I was a Texas Cowboy fan, you know. (Laughter.) Dallas Cowboy fan — and — yes, I know, I know.”

“So he (Steelers owner Dan Rooney) took my phone call after about three hours of sleep. And he was a gentleman then, when I apologized for waking him up; he’s a gentleman today. Again, I want to publicly apologize — (laughter) — for routing you out of your sack.”

“I appreciate Hines Ward, Super Bowl MVP, who traveled to his mother’s home country of South Korea to inspire children of multiracial backgrounds speak out against discrimination. I thought that was an act of — (applause.)”

So, in summary, he’s unaware of the name of his favorite team, he messed with Dan Rooney’s sack, and was applauded for not finishing a sentence. Pretty standard, really.

1. It's amazing that Americans don't demand higher expectations
out of the so called leader of the US. He is an embarrassment...pathetic, uneducated man child.

2. I saw his ugly mug on the front page on my newspaper today.
Right next to "Security funding to area slashed".

Yup, the bush* admin loves Pittsburgh, alright. Fourth steepest (percentage) DHS cut.

We are #4! Yay!

3. Love the headline: "Joey Porter manages not to kill and eat the president"


For those who missed it, Joey Porter was quoted as saying prior to the visit:

"Yeah, I got something to say to Bush, I'm going to have a swagger when I walk in there, too," Porter said, laughing loudly. "I'm looking forward to it. I have something to tell him, too. I don't like the way things are running right now. I feel like he has to give me some of my money back, so I got something to tell Bush."

And then the very next day there was a retraction that was supposedly a quote from Joey Porter that had been clearly crafted by some PR hack.

BTW, Porter is the guy wearing sunglasses in the back row directly behind Bush. He probably was trying to mask the look of love in his eyes for his new buddy Dubya.
