Joey Porter's Dogs Kill Horse

Under normal circumstances, I have a one-Joey-Porter-post-per-week rule because, frankly, that's about all anyone should be subjected to. But this one of those stories you don't sit one because of its sheer ridiculousness. From Pittsburgh affiliate WPXI:

RICHLAND TWP., Pa. -- Police in Richland Township said that Steeler Joey Porter's pit bulls killed a horse on Hill Haven Lane. Police said when they got to the scene, they called Porter. He cooperated with police, and police said that he was upset about what happened. The dogs are secured right now, and police are investigating. There could be charges filed against Porter eventually.

This is far and away much weirder than Porter impersonating Dave Chapelle impersonating Howard Dean. By like a zillion miles. What do you say after reading this: Well, at least Porter felt bad about the whole ordeal? Thank God it wasn't Barbaro?

And what do you think this "police investigation" will consist of? The K-9 guy yelling at Porter's dogs on their whereabouts on the night in question? The whole thing's just bizarre. Very, very bizarre. But hey, at least Ben Roethlisberger somehow managed not to get hurt, so that's a big plus for Steelers fans.

I agree. This isn't news, it's just bullsh**! Why don't you write about how many times Joey Porter is going to sack Carson Palmer this weekend?

Joey Porter is a Sally and so are his dogs. Too bad the horse didn't get a chance to get Porter in the head. Remember back to last year and the cheap hit on Palmer? Who wants to beat Big Ben gets hurt before half-time??

Speaking of bizzare, what kind of sorry ass post was that? It wasn't even Porter who hit Palmer it was Von Olhofen and winey Bengal fans are the only ones I still hear calling it a cheap shot, I'm not even gonna bother commenting on the Ben getting hurt part or even "Sally" for that matter, tempting as it may be .

I think Joey is a psycho. I am going to throw a football right in his mouth Sunday. And if I get the chance I will throw footballs in as many old, nasty female Steeler fans faces as I can. There are plenty of skanks up there to go around. In fact, like last year Chad, TJ, and myself will triple penetrate Bill Cowher's wife. Bill gets off on that stuff, trust me. He loves freaky sex things involving his wife. See you guys Sunday. Who watches the mines while you pieces of garbage are at the game?

Hey " Carson " learn how to spell and maybe somebody will take your posts seriously, but as long as they continue to be so idiotic...I doubt it.

Why is it that everyone failed to mention, that the horse was a miniature horse, and only stood 29" tall.
Pit-Bulls allways get a bad rap. Chances are, Joey Porter did a poor job of socializing his dogs (if they even are pitbulls) with people and other animals. Not that anyone cares, but the fault is not the dogs' and shouldn't ever even be in the media. If Joey Porter owned two cocker spaniels that killed a miniature horse, we wouldn't have heard a thing about it...
