Could be in a bit of trouble after yesterdays game.
Dolphins In Depth
I can't see Parcells and Sporano standing for anything like this at all. Wouldn't be surprised to see a big fine, and possibly a suspension levied by the team.
Another thought is the 2 "apparently pre-meditated" penalties on that drive. Besides Porter being the ultimate poor sport, I wonder if the league will step in and discipline him. You can't have teams that are losing in the final minutes start cheap shotting the other team. I wouldn't be surprised to see the NFL take action here.
With 3:23 left to play in Sunday's Dolphins loss to the Patriots, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano got an ugly glimpse of how hard to control Joey Porter is when the linebacker collected an unnecessary roughness penalty -- no doubt, on purpose.
One play later Porter was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct -- just a guess here, but whatever he did was probably premeditated. And so Sparano had seen enough. He sent Charlie Anderson into the game to replace Porter.
Porter refused to leave the field in direct insubordination of his coach's wishes. Porter ordered Anderson to go back to the bench. After the game, Porter refused to speak with the media. (So much for being a stand-up guy.)
