Hmmmm.   Thursday night the Steelers beat Cleveland in what turned out to be a good game (for us in Pittsburgh) played in frigid temperatures.  That wasn't good enough for hallowed Steeler linebacker Joey Porter.  Porter took umbrage with a late hit by Cleveland's Kellen Winslow on a Steeler player.

Here's the quote from the Tribune-Review minus the f-word:

"It was late, that's what (slur) do," Porter said. "He's soft. He wants to be tough but he's really soft."

Nice.  Fags hit late.  Who knew?

I caught this story on KDKA tonight (not up on the website yet).  Interesting how most people thought it was unsportsmanlike and "inappropriate" language.  No one was saying that about Michael Richards were they?  If a white player used a racial slur in the same situation, he'd be crucified. One guy said he didn't mind it all.  At least he's honest. 

Outsports has this comment:

Expect a public apology from Porter to "anyone who was offended" by this afternoon.

That about sums it up.  We aren't exactly the city of taking responsibility are we?
