On a side note, our high school just played Porters kids hs team last Friday night. Porter was there looking pissed off because our boys unexpectedly hung with them for 3 quarters and looked to be poised to pull off an upset.
But his kid.....
Good player but massive shit talker. Massive. Taunting our kids on the sideline all night long. Refs should have warned him but Im sure they know who he is so he got away with it. He learned well from daddy.
Oh, and I've never heard any connection between Vick and Ben and their punishments. Thats a first.
Yeah, I'm aware Porter had signed with the fins. The fact that he only got 4 games and the Steelers brought him back as a coach is mind boggling to me, though.
Sorry you guys had to go through that.
Goodell is all about perception. Rice got a slap on the wrist because the NFL thought they could sweep the video under the rug, for example. Lots of people were screaming for Ben to be suspended and claiming there was a double standard due to Vick. The only other possible explanation is that Goodell thought Ben was guilty and deserved to be punished after reviewing the facts of each case.
