Joey Porter arrested?

True but he could still throw down. He was actually the best cooler in the business.

 

"Bouncer" maybe. "Cooler" definitely not. One needs a degree in philosophy to be that. Which Dalton has. Wade Garrett mostly only got to bounce in dumps that had signs over urinals that said "Pleases Do Not Eat Thin White Mints". Wade was certainly a legend though. I mean he beat down Terry Funk.

 

What time did this happen? I thought it was pretty early? He must be a lightweight or he was dropping some serious shots.

 

9:30 PM. He must have been on quite a bender as soon as he got to his car.

 

The best damn cooler in the business.

 

Ed Bouchette said on XM that Porter's main task was the rotating of the LB'ers. The Steelers aren't doing that now anyway. Butler was a LB coach and Osalvsky is there as well. I am guessing that Porter's absence won't cause a drop-off in the play of the backers.

 

One of the radio shows on 93.7 the fan today said that another bar's doorman witnessed everything and said that Joey was treated unfairly. They also alluded to this particular police officer having a history of false arrest and other issues.

Regardless, Joey's a damn fool for being in this position at all.

 

Some guys are good football players because they are great athletes who can turn on a switch, and become violent on the field.
Some guys are just violent a-holes who are also great athletes.
Guess which one I think Joey is?

 

Go to bars enough and you'll run into some power hungry bouncer who just wants to fight. In my younger years I had no problem engaging with those idiots and found myself in plenty of fights. Now I know what I need to day and say in order to avoid a fight. That might mean I don't get to go into the bar, but so be it. I'm a grown ass man, just like Porter, I know how to avoid getting into fights.

I don't care how he was treated by that bouncer, he should have walked away

 

Bernie Lootz came to mind

 

According to the police report the bouncer/doorman is 6'0" @ 195lbs and had his hands in his pockets, never raised his voice and told Joey you're not getting in please leave. Joey grabbed him and picked him up. Several black males were with Joey and kept telling the officer " we got him"..... They were probably trying to calm Joey down and keep the officer from arresting him.

I've never been there, been told it's a bar/club for 20 yr olds as that's most of their patrons and Joey being almost 40, married with 4 kids, public figure being a Steeler Coach should not have been there, nothing good was going to happen, especially being drunk.

I am curious as to who were the " black males" that were with him..... Hope it wasn't players

Cajun

 

I'm curious to know who was with him, as well. If they were players, I'm sure the organization knows and they were given a very stern talking to.

 

As said earlier
if players were there
Joey took the heat
he started the commotion so they could get away
Yay Joey!!!

 

Does anyone else think Joey had a hand in our linebackers coming around this year?

 

Middle backer coach Olsavsky has a lot to do with that success, our middle is the strength of this linebacking corp.......

 

Porter should just buy the bar and fire the bouncer.

 

IIRC Porter filed for bankruptcy, hanging out in Vegas too much. He probably got into coaching cause he needed the money.

 

Hire Kevin Greene to replace Porter next season.

 

Depends on how the entourage travels... Sound like his hometown behavior to me, thought he was past it all, but either way he's earned it and has been treated unfairly here. But, if you've earned it... Expect the mistreatment and keep on moving.

He's gotten into too much ish hanging with the homies... Hope he figures it out, he's a good dude with a great fam.

 

93.7 the Fan's Starky & Mueller show said today he was going to meet his former Steeler teammates and one current Steeler. Also that he may not have even had a drink yet. Apparently the doorman said, "last time you were here you threatened to kill me so you can't come in".

Who knows what really happened? I'm just passing along what I heard on the radio the last couple days.
