Joey Porter=dumbass

I wish had a more famous blogger's dumbass certificate but with what Joey Porter said yesterday he gets a plaque and a statue. Porter was talking to reporters about Michael Vick's reinstatement after he serves his prison term when he served up this little nugget; "All it was was dogs." Huh? Here's his full quote:

"He's already been punished enough," said Porter, who owns a pair of pit bulls and a Maltese. "They gave him his penalty. He paid his penalty. What else should they do to him now?
"All it was was dogs. They act like they don't even like pit bulls anyway. That's the funny thing about it if you want to get back on that topic. I got pit bulls, I got to put them under a different breed just to travel. So you can't even fly pit bulls nowhere.
"It's a breed they don't care about. It's not like he was fighting cocker spaniels or something that they like. They don't really care too much about pit bulls."

What?? It's okay to punish a guy who hurts dogs people like but with pit bulls it's just dogs?! There are so many things wrong with what Joey said that I can't even count them. Yeah because they are "just dogs" it's okay to electocute, choke, beat them when they aren't good enough fighting dogs. It's okay to bet thousands of dollars on them and if they lose killing them, because "All it was was dogs".

Of course Porter has a soft place in his heart for pit bulls, it was just a couple of years ago that two of his pit bulls got loose and killed a neighbor's horse while he was still a Steeler. The 6-year-old American miniature horse was 29 1/2 inches tall, probably smaller than the two dogs. Mastiffs can weigh more than 200 pounds and stand nearly 6 feet on their hind legs.
Police knew immediately to whom the dogs belonged because the dogs had gotten free last year, but caused no problems.

Porter issued this statement after his dogs killed the horse, or his agent or lawyer did;

"I am saddened to learn that my dogs escaped from my yard and attacked and killed a horse. It was an accident and I am not sure how the dogs escaped. We have a very secure yard with a six-foot fence around it and this has never happened before. I have reached out to the owners of the horse and will do whatever I can to help them get through this very unfortunate situation."

I guess this is Joey's way of helping Vick through this unfortuate situation. Dumbass
