Corey Dillon, in the year he backed up Rudi, was frequently seen pouting on the sidelines and not paying attention to the game. He threw his equipment into the crowd the last game, remember? Or is it forgotten now because he's a Patriot?
How can you say Porter is all about Porter? I don't know what his latest problem is. It's probably resentment after the team promised him the #1 job and then signed Moss, because he doesn't like the zoo-like atmosphere over there, or because they suck with no hope in sight. What I do know is that until recently, he was (by all written accounts) a model citizen. How come Dillon and Harrison get the benefit of "only wanting to win" but not Porter? Especially since Dillon was leaving a playoff-caliber team because he was unhappy with his role? Let's not revise history.
I could care less if we get him or not, but we've signed guys that were much bigger question marks than Porter. This team has the veteran leadership that will get him to toe the line if necessary.
The report says: Jerry Porter was reportedly "seen laughing and pumping his fist along the bench when (Aaron) Brooks was sacked a seventh time" Monday night.
He's obviously bitter...having one pass thrown to him all preseason and getting benched for the season opener, demoted to 5th on the depth chart. What else could he possibly be laughing and pumping his fist about while his team was getting blown out?
When Terrell Owens was seen on national television screaming profusely at his offensive coordinator during his final season with the 49ers, do you think he may have just been telling him how great the apple crumb pie he had earlier was? Just connect the dots. None of us know these players personally, we can only go by what the players, coaches, executives, and media tell us. That's a given. But he hasn't exactly been putting his best effort to present a clean image this year.
I guarantee you Jerry Porter is not coming to the Pats, and frankly I'm glad that he isn't. F*** that guy. Belichick didn't put up with Terry Glenn's bullcrap, he's not about to do the same with Porter.
