Joey Porter's comments to Trey Wingo on NFL Live should make for entertaining fodder when the Dolphins play the Patriots this season. Miami visits New England on Sept. 21. The teams play in Miami on Nov. 23. Here goes Porter uncensored:
"They cheated. There should be an asterisk on it, just because Marion Jones, she get caught, they take the gold medals back. Obviously, they got caught. If it wasn't that bad, why would you destroy the evidence? If you have nothing to hide why would you destroy it? ...
"Why destroy something that don't have to be destroyed? Let everybody see what was on the tape. Why you going to destroy it so fast? I think it must have been that bad to where they didn't want anybody else to see it. They had to be that bad - to destroy it, so nobody else could see it.
"If it wasn't helping nobody, why did you do it? If Tom Brady wasn't getting help out of it, then why would you do it every week? And everyone wants to wonder how these guys just went from zero to 60 overnight. That'll do it for you."
One player's comments hardly represent the majorty. Porter is known for speaking his mind. That will be the interesting part of this. How many high-profile players feel this way and will speak out this way as time passes? Dolphins fans might be wondering why Porter is giving the Patriots ammunition, but these types of comments lose their bulletin-board value as more and more people make them.
