The Misfit Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Link Imagine what practice would have been like. Former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter was cited for misdemeanor battery after allegedly punching Bengals left tackle Levi Jones in the face in Las Vegas over the weekend, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. The incident happened at a blackjack table in the Palms casino on Sunday night, the newspaper reported. Before signing with the Dolphins earlier this month , Porter was said to be negotiating with the Bengals – and Cincinnati was reportedly in the running. "Apparently these two have a history with each other, a history of trash talking on the field,” Las Vegas police Lt. Kevin McMahill told the newspaper. Bengals public relations director Jack Brennan did not know about the alleged incident until contacted for possible comment this morning by The Enquirer. Brennan said he would relay the report to Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, who might or might not comment about it. Jones makes his offseason home in Las Vegas and was not immediately available for comment. Porter was released by the Steelers before free agency opened in a cost-cutting measure. He has 60 career sacks and rushed many times off the left side of the Bengals offense, where Jones was assigned to block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Brennan said he would relay the report to Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, who might or might not comment about it. "I'm just glad a Bengal isn't in trouble this time" Lewis is rumored to have stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I bet Jones was that jerk at third base (plays before the dealer) who stupidly hits his 14 when the dealer is showing 6, and sucks the face card off the top. I've wanted to punch that guy myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 They just had to report it as "Former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter" instead of "Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
