LOL! The guy chastises the media for taking his quotes out of context on Cassel and the Patriots and then goes on to prove that they DIDN'T take his qoutes out of context in the first place. From the Sun-Sentinel:

"You all took my quote around and turned it into something else,'' Porter said Thursday. "What questions you all going to ask me today that you're just going to make sound different?''
He was then asked, "What's easier about getting to Cassel?''
"Same thing I said the other day, he's no Tom Brady. That was documented,'' Porter said. "If you play against any backup you're coming after him just like if we played Buffalo and they put in their backup we're coming after them.
"[Brady] had 50 touchdown passes last year. You're asking a guy who hasn't played that many snaps to do what Brady did. It's not going to happen. When we played them last year Jason [Allen] got a pick and they were blowing us out and they put Tom back in. Like I said, he's not Brady.
"For us, we want to attack him the same way. I just don't think he could play on the same high level that Brady plays. If he does, Brady wouldn't be started. He would be starting. Would you rather go against Brady or Cassel? You would rather go against Cassel if you were on defense, right? OK, that's what we'd rather do. We're getting Cassel instead of Brady, and I like our chances against Cassel.''
