Joey Porter Arrested After Game

[RuthlessBurgher]

I wonder if that bouncer ever owned miniature horses?

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

So, when is this going to get resolved? He should be putting together a game plan today, to give to the LBs tomorrow, is that correct?

Peezy was placed on leave.

Could have done without this distraction

if he was driving or beat the crap out of the doorman and officers then sure, fire him or suspend him.

however, this seems like another Pittsburgh incident that is being overblown by the media because god forbid we actually enjoy a dominating performance by our team.

Joey has to be smarter than this but honestly, it doesn't sound that serious.

Its Porter he doesn't have to be smarter. No doubt in my mind he got a few drinks in him and he could let his attitude take over.

"There’s no timeline on Porter’s suspension, but the leave will likely last at least through this week’s divisional showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs. That could be a huge blow for the Steelers if they need someone to inappropriately step onto the field and goad an opposing player into a personal foul penalty on Sunday."

Saw that in some article. Cracked me up.

I think this is all BS. Why would an off duty cop working at a different bar be told immediately what was going down? Is he Pittsburgh's super cop and everything goes through him first? The police report has holes in it too....Setup!

The cop has had issues

I imagine that Jerry O can handle the ILB and OLB this week, especially since Butler can give him extra assistance since he was LB coach himself before being promoted to D.C. Plus, Deebo can act as somewhat of a player-coach for the younger guys this week.

short cop syndrome.

All jokes aside, I just read these links. I doubt Joey even put his hands on this cop and I bet he was drunk at the time he arrested Peezy.

Pressuring his wife to say her grandparents sexual assaulted their kids?

Making an off duty arrest while drunk and hitting the butt of his glock on a man's head which made the gun discharge? Witnesses say the guy he arrested wasnt the one who punched him.

This is some bull####... I think Joey needs to drink at home or throw back a few in a nicer part of town.

Joey may need some help (counseling) dealing with alcohol and/or anger issues. If so, let's hope he's willing to get it.

If all this is indeed true, better to get it out of the way now rather than after one of the next few games.

Being reported Kevin Greene waiting in the wings to replace Porter as Steelers LB coach... may be an upgrade.

I thought he did a good job when he coached the Packers OLBs. If they're going to dump Porter, it wouldn't be a bad move to bring Green onboard, IMO.
