"I hugged Mike Tomlin after the game, we apologized for the way it was played," Whitworth said, via ESPN.com. "I have a lot of respect for the Steelers -- but Joey Porter isn't one of them. Before the last game, Porter was at midfield mother------ everybody."

I just think, it is better to lose kicking the crap out of the Steelers than to lose and get beat up ourselves.  If only next season started sooner.

On the rumors that Porter got a game ball for his actions:

On the rumors that Porter got a game ball for his actions:

"Well, then that goes to show you what kind of organization they're running"

Quote:Even before Saturday’s Wild Card Game, Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther asked Steelers defensive assistant coach Joey Porter not to talk to his players after some trash-talking incidents in the Dec. 13 game.


So while Guenther isn’t condoning cornerback Adam Jones’ altercation at the end of Saturday’s game that resulted in the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty sealing the Bengals’ fate, he’s livid that Porter provoked it.

And not only that, but reportedly got a game ball.

“If that’s true, that shows you the kind of organization they are,’ Guenther said.

On a play in the second quarter last month, Porter can be seen jawing at Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick after a play on the Steelers sidelines.

“I asked him nice,” recalled Guenther when he approached Porter before the last game. “It’s going to be a clean game. Two divisional opponents. A play-off game. I told him I told my guys I don’t want any talking on the field or any B.S. on the field. Just do me a favor. Don’t talk to our players and we won’t talk to your players. Then in the heat of the battle he’s standing in the middle of the field. You tell me why he’s supposed to be out there. And he gets a game ball on top of it? You tell me.”
Guenther called Porter’s actions “a disgrace,” and hopes the league is looking into it.

“To me, that’s not what an NFL coach is. An NFL coach shouldn’t be talking trash to other guys,” Guenther said. “They’re supposed to be teachers. They’re supposed to be professionals.”

At this point, he thinks a fine is pretty useless.

“He gets a fine and I’m sure Mike Tomlin will pay his fine,” Guenther said. “And we’re sitting at home.”

As for Porter.. the failure is with the officials.. they let it go and they did not throw a flag on the play on him.. should have been offsetting penalties and left with a 49 field goal to make in the rain

That's why fines are dumb. An on-field penalty can be (and usually is) so much bigger than a fine.

Fingers crossed for the day when all penalties are either called from computers or people in a booth at least in the last five minutes of a game. Penalties should be able to be challenged anyway.

I hate how much power the refs have to affect the outcome of a game.
