Gotta Love Football Feuds

Posted by kevin on December 13, 2006

It’s always good when two football players start feuding. Especially when they’re two of the most outspoken and annoying players in the league right now. Joey Porter and Kellen Winslow Jr. appear set for a war of words that promises to continue for the next few years, as they are in the same division.

I find it hilarious that Porter is apologizing to everyone except Winslow for his comments, basically implying that Winslow is, unlike the rest of the Browns, gay. Funny Joey, how would you know that.

I hate Kellen Winslow Jr. as I have already gone over, so I won’t take time to defending him from Porter. Especially because he is, as Porter mentioned, soft. He should move to wide receiver, he isn’t big enough or physical enough to be a tight end, regardless of how much of a soldier he claims he is. He is a dirty player to go along with his softness. His two most memorable hits have both come late, the one where he injured the Tennessee player, prompting the “I’m a soldier” tirade, and his hit this past Thursday against James Farrior well after the play was dead. He then proceeded to get leveled shortly after by Farrior. The fact remains, Winslow is a soft player who stays away from most hits, not the type of player you want at tight end.

The moral dilemma for me here, is that I also hate Joey Porter, and I highly doubt Winslow is gay, not to mention how elementary that insult is. Porter may celebrate more often than Ray Lewis for plays he has no impact on. Good job Joey, one of your other players made the tackle while you were being blocked. That gives you ever reason to run around pumping your fist. Please, continue doing so. I’m not saying Porter isn’t a good player, but he is an incredibly annoying one on the field.

I’m going to have to side with Porter on this issue though. I think we all remember the psychological battle between Porter and Seahawks Tight End Jerramy Stevens last year before the Super Bowl. In case you forgot how that turned out, Stevens has all but fallen off the face of the Earth. He is now known for his ability to drop passes. I’m hoping this exact same thing happens to Winslow, that way there’s one less idiot we have to deal with.

    kw2 will never be his daddy, but he will continue to be joey porters bitch. joey and kellens pa are two of my all time nfl faves, and the league could use more guys who bring their kind of intensity (ya know, the kind that gets backed up). you dont like joey celebrating what his team has done even if he was getting blockecd? well, without his attitude and leadership there is no “one for the thumb”. until, kw2 comes up with a game like his dads all-time, all-nfl, all-man, performance, against the dolphins (best game ever?) he will coontinue to be a trash talking overrated…uh…fag?!

    [...] in the streets of Vegas, you’ve earned my respect. We know that all Joey Porter does is run his mouth, and it’s great to see someone finally stand up to him. I’m now rooting for Jones in [...]
