Porter: Cassel 'not a Tom Brady'

Sounds like someone is bitter after all those poor performances in the playoffs w/ the Steelers.

This is why I am proud to be a Patriots fan. Can you imagine ANY Patriots player saying something as flat-out stupid as Joey Porter's comments? Especially when he knows he'll be eating his words on Sunday...

Bring it Joey.

Last I checked Matt Cassel is 2-0 this year, Chad Pennington is 0-2.

And your team lost to the Jets whom the Patriots completely dominated at home last week.

Idiot.

Amusing that Porter should talk such smack considering how the season has gone. After all, last I checked Miami LOST to the Jets (at Miami) in week 1... the very same Jets Cassel BEAT (in NY) in his first start since high school. Standard logic says that Cassel should be able to handle the Dolphins with relative ease... only question is, how big is the spread gonna be for the Pats...

Gee, Joey Porter said all that? I'm surprised because it really didn't sound like something he would say, especially since the Dolphins aren't exactly tearing up the league, and Porter is usually such a, .......ahem........ humble guy. I guess we'll see on Sunday.

'Til then, stay classy Joey, stay classy.

Sounds like he misses playing for a real football team... no wonder the Steelers got rid of this jerk. I hope the Tuna send him packing to the CFL.

I can't wait to see him flip out when they get pasted on Sunday!

Porter has been a nobody for the past five years. Easily one of the most overrated, overhyped players EVER!! This is what happens when bitter players on bad teams run their mouths. THEY NEVER LEARN!!!!

Funny to hear Porter saying someone is "No Tom Brady" when for years he showed little respect for Brady.

Nice to see a couple years with a horrible team haven't changed this jerk.

Whoops! Not the smartest of things to say. Porter is a has-been, but one should never guarantee victory for hell hath no fury like the Patriots provoked!

It's clear that he's a little off, but even the one objective part of his comments didn't make sense. He said that Cassel doesn't likely get a lot of snaps in practice. Did he somehow miss the fact that the Patriots have been resting Tom Brady's shoulder for years.

You think Belichick hasn't thrown the kitchen sink at Cassel over the last few years? This is the coach that invented the kitchen sink of defense.

anyone such as this moron joey porter, making such idiotic comments like that, should be ignored. this guy is just plain pathetic. whatever he says is a joke, just like his playing skills these days....a total joke. what a pathetic loser.

well he is right he is no tom brady by any means. but to hell with him for trash talking the kings.

Joey Porter is so washed up he should be doing Tide commercials.

Just some more bulletin board material. Been there, done that. Still amazes me when teams/players are stupid enough to give the Pats even more amo.

See ya Sunday, Joey. See ya Sunday.

Sure has a lot to say for a player whose team is 1-17 since his arrival.

Its all good. Joey, you're not Adalius Thomas, either.

I hope he gets shot in the butt again

Why does anyone even bothering commenting on the tripe from that jerk. He's a tool and nothing more. This is the only attention he ever gets beacuse he can't perform on the field anymore.

Never underestimate someone being coached by BB. Yeah he can talk all the crap "He is no Tom Brady".. Even Cassel admit that "He doesn't want to be Tom Brady, He just want to be Matt Cassel"..Given all the comments i think it should not matter as long as they back up their words and get to the QB[ I even doubt if he can sack Matt Cassel with our OL]

Hmm.. The last time i remembered someone talk trashed about winning a game with the Pats is that Steeler CB[i forgot the name]that was burned by Tom 3x,one on a amazing flea flicker to Jabar and 2 deep TD's to Randy.. I think something like that will happen specially with that FINS secondary..

Go Pats..The Pats with smoke the FINS this Sunday..

last time i checked his team got their butts handed to them by the immortal cardinals last week

Hey Anthony Smith, there is someone else in the league as dumb as you! Maybe you should give Joey a call and let him know how all your trash talk went!

Ignorant word's from a little man, he must be very content cashing payroll checks, it must be very easy being a Dolphin, write check's your ass never will cash!!

First off, Priority it's OK to hate another team, but don't post commentary that just screams bitterness. If you want to go down the road of retribution, should we talk about the WORST call in NFL playoff history?? And I'll help you out in guessing which one I'm talking about, it's NOT the tuck rule (did i hear 1976??). So anyway, on to Porter. He's the best at one thing in the NFL, being a total idiot. Yes, he has physical skills (which are dwindling by the way) and I'm not even going to bash him as a player but it's very hard to respect a guy who shoots out comments like these. It was just during the offseason that he was going to town on the filming issue (joey, sorry but EVERY team does this in some sort of fashion as some coaches have even admitted to). To me, yes, trash talking is part of the NFL but he seems to me the only one who's better at THAT than proving it on the field. That said, I look forward to a great game Sunday and hopefully, as a Pats fan, watch Cassell make Mr. "Big Mouth" Porter eat his words.

Last request Joey Porter, can we please get as many quotes from you if you lose on how EMBARRASSING it is to eat your words???

It was Anthony Smith.

I believe he lives under a bridge by some river these days.

Who is Joey Porter?

Who is Joey Porter anyhow? Isn't he that overrated loud mouth who used to play for the Steelers? Oh, yeah...thanks Porter just what BB and the boys needed, just in case they thought they were playing a HS team instead of an NFL team this week. You got the Pats back on task. Give me Cassel over...who is Miami's QB anyhow? Oh, that's right that dude who was cut from the NY Jets, what's his name? I am sure the Tuna is just thrilled with Porter right about now. BTW Porter runs like he's carrying the kitchen sink. GO PATS!!!!

Don't you have to have a kitchen sink to throw one?

Yea, Our Backup QB Matt Cassel is so bad that he won 2 games out of 2 so far. On the other hand, the glamorous 3 times All-Pro and 3 times Pro Bowler Joey Porter started one FULL season and 2 games, and yet has only 1 win. Talk about bitterness. Well, I guess I would talk like that too if I know I don't have a chance to win on the field.

Kurt Warner isn't Tom Brady. How'd that work out for the fins?

Hey Joey
I see you haven't changed !! You still got enough mouth for four sets of head !!
Why is it still a mystery why the Steeler locker celebrated when they got rid of you ??

I'm surprised Tony/Parcells allowed him to talk that smack. Could the tuna really be losing his grip?

The Patriots have more wins in 2008 than the Dolphins have in 2007 and 2008 combined.

I'm sorry - did Joey Porter have something to say?

OMG! This is SO frickin' AWESOME! I can't wait for Sunday....I can't wait for Sunday!!

Who is backing up Cassel? That's the question Patriot fans have to ask themselves. Cassel got beat up by an AWFUL team and my guess is he doesn't make it through the season healthy. Some of you like to compare common opponents. Oakland SPANKED Kansas City 23-8 and the Patriots barely beat the worst team in the league(Kansas City)17-10. The Patriots barely beat the Jets, another team with just four wins last year. The big boys are lighting it up around the league, and their doing it against better competition. While the Patriots are getting all they can handle from SCRUBS!! In my opinion the Eagles looked better in their loss this week against the Cowboys than the Patriots did in either of their PATHETIC wins against teams that bad teams beat.

Porter was probably as upset as anyone over the league's handling of Spygate. He's probably still upset about that. He wanted the Patriots SB rings taken back just like they were for that Olympic women sprinter (forget her name) who won the gold medal, but cheated with steroids. They took her medal back. Porter was saying there were racial implications because the black cheater lost the prize she cheated to get and the white cheater got to keep his prize.

This is was Joey Porter does.....talks trash. Obviously, he knows it will be posted on bullentin boards. Perhaps, he wants Cassell to spend 10 minutes this week answering media questions about Porter and have that in the inexperienced QBs head. Brady's not suseptible to mind games, but perhaps Cassel is.

What does Porter really have to lose by making this statement? Nothing. The 1-15 Dolphins are expected to get blown out by the 18-1 Patriots. It's not like if Porter kept his mouth shut the Dolphins were going to win.

Don't worry Joey, the Dolphins are a high school football team, heck Everet & Gloucester could POUND the ball through the fins swiss cheese defense. Joey Porter is the Manny Ramirez of Football, he never knows when too shut his trap, this is why with all that talent nobody would show him the money when he was a free agent, except a perenial loser like the Dolphins. He just added the main ingredient to the entree for the Patriots meal Sunday, and this meal isn't Dolphin Safe.

Joey Porter....didn't he used to play in the NFL?

I would like to thank Joey Porter, because he obviously doesn't remember what happened last time, when his former team's Anthony Smith guaranteed a win... not only did the Pats kill the Steelers, they made it an apparent OBJECTIVE to destroy Anthony Smith himself... I for one am excited to see Cassel destroy Porter with the screen pass. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, just like Ricky Williams does.

as usual Patriot's fans whine about Joey Porter being honest in how he feels-it will be refreshing to watch the Dolphins show NE they are no longer the same team they were last yr and that the 'Phins with alot of heart and effort clearly have a chance to humble the 'Pats Sunday.I will enjoy reading the Boston scribes on Monday commenting on Joey's comments when they have to eat their words

Oh, I'm sorry, Louie. Were you talking?

It is sobering that the Patriots have to struggle to win against average teams. On the other hand, do you remember 2001? They did just enough to beat everybody, whether the opponent was on top of the league or or completely out of contention. They rose to the level of the competition.

joey porter, is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?

i mean, who says stuff like this 'You treat him like you treat a backup? How do you prepare for a backup?'
that is just plain ridiculous.

the thing he DID get right was giving Tom the due he deserves
being a great QB.

"Bring on the haters. Cause we're comin'!""

Okay, sports duds - i'd like to propose a moratorium on the use of the phrases "That said," or "Having said that." Next time you think of saying either of those at the beginning of a sentence, just leave it out and you will see it is unnecessary and your remark will be more direct...!

Who is the culprit that started this in Boston sports years ago - Dale Arnold? Parcells? I hear it and read it all over the place and it is stupid and redundant. Catch my drift? Thanks.

Louie the Lip! The Eagles Defense looked great against Dallas!!! 41 points against what a hell of a performance! PLEEEAAASSSEEEE... shut your pie hole you dope!

Wow, and the big Tuna is this guy's boss. Can you imagine any Patriots player in the 1990s puffing off like that? If I were the Tuna I'd sit that guy down asap and try to get a sixth round draft choice for him.

LouieTheLip, You are worse then Porter. SHUT the hell up. If you want to know who is backing up Cassel, the answer is Kevin O'Connel. You expect the Pats to blow out every team like they did last year? Let me guess, you have never played and only know football from watching it on TV? What did Brady do in his first start? The same damn thing Cassel did b/c BB knows how to break someone in. Give Cassel some time and not to mention, I like O'Connel better then Cassel but Cassel deserves the first shot. FYI....the Pats dominated the Jets (on the road) and the game against the Chiefs was a weird one b/c of the fact that we lost the NFL MVP in the first quarter which was a SHOCK to everyone. How does it feel to make minimum wage? I know you are not making real money with your
intelligence!

No, but I remember some idiot coach in the NFL last year being caught video taping other NFL Teams during warm ups, and on one occacssion before a superbowl practice. I think your team lost a first round draft choice if I remember right?

Y'all are a bunch of little girls - Patriot fans are johnny come latelys, you probly dont think the NFL even existed prior to 2001.

Having said that, just kidding. That said, Porter now has a target on his back. buh bye

Did he not have a vicious dog that got loose and mauled a gentle horse to death?

Is Joey Moey crying again?... will someone give him his bottle.....

LouietheLip, I'm gonna guess that's a thinly veiled euphemism for Louie Lipps, another Steeler has been. So i'll go a little further and guess you're a Pittsburgh fan. Well beating a bad Houston team when they keep almost scoring for you and beating Cleveland has been an impressive feat since the other Houston team had a guy named moon on it and the Cleveland had Mack and Byner.

For a team with a veru bad offensive line last year and no Alan Faneca this year, and who already let their quarterback get a sprained shoulder you'd better look at who you're back up QB is, because even it will take a lot less than a cheap shot by KC to put Big Ben on his big butt for the year.

Louie, Louie, Louie. When will you and idiots like Porter ever learn, DON'T give the Patriots bulletin board material. Porter was nothing but mouth when he could actually play some with the Steelers and now he is nothing but mouth. If words could make tackles, Porter would be a Pro-bowler. Let's see who's looking up at the standing at the end of the season.

Lou wirtes: No, but I remember some idiot coach in the NFL last year being caught video taping other NFL Teams during warm ups, and on one occacssion before a superbowl practice. I think your team lost a first round draft choice if I remember right?

Well you got parts of it right dummy, the loser who professed to have the video of superbowl walkthrough proved to be nothing but a lie. Get your facts straight, dummy!

Joey Porter is not a very bright fellow - unless he is just trying to spur a team to a win - of which they have not seen very many of them in long time - the game will be somewhat close and only because of Tom Brady's lack of presence.

The Dolphins are slightly better with Pennington. The bills however are a team we need to worry about. After reading this blog you can see how easy their schedule is, it looks even easier than ours. The Pats D is back though, mainly because they have to be.

Lou, you are mildly dumb. the tapes were not of warmups or superbowl walkthroughs. they were of actual games. nice try now get back down in your basement.

Why, why, why do idiots like Joey Porter continue to disrespect us? What else more do the Patriots have to do? What is Joey Lip's record against us anyway?? 1-forever or something, isn't it? Joey Lip doesn't realize that football is a TEAM sport, does he? Hey, Lip, don't you know that we have plenty more than just Tom Brady??!!!!!

lou you are ignorant to the point where one might wonder if you have the ability to feed yourself. Please read up on the video scandal. We are all well versed. You are a dolt.

JOEY PORTER NEEDS TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! I AM SO SICK OF THE CRAP THAT COMES OUT HIS MOUTH. MATT IS NOT TRYING TO BE TOM BRADY., HE IS JUST TRYING TO WIN GAMES, AND HE HAS. HOW MANY HAVE THE DOLPHINS WON "ZERO". SO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO OCCUPY YOUR TIME INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT MATT CASSEL BECAUSE HE WILL DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO. CHAD IS 0-2. NEED I SAY MORE. AND IF THE DOLPHINS THINK THEY ARE GONNA WIN IN GILLETTE STADIUM THEY ARE SORELY MISTAKEN. SOMEBODY PUT A SOCK IN JOEY PORTER'S MOUTH. HE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT OTHER PLAYERS WHO ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN HE WILL EVERY BE.

This dude is crazy. He predicts a win against the Patriots every time he plays them. He better not go run his mouth and say told you so if it ever happens because he says it all the time.

Porter plays with his mouth. Our Pats keep their mouths shut and just play...and win...an experience Porter has not had. I thought Matt's responses showed class that Porter doesn't understand.

And WHY isn't Porter still playing with Pittsburgh?
hmmmmmmmm... maybe they didn't want to pay his silly ass more than what he's worth.. Although, if they paid by the Bullshit, then he would of been on a Team that's 2 - 0 !
Bring it on LOSER!

Go Pats.. stuff this MOFO!

Thanks for those who reminded me about Anthony Smith. I just can't wait what plays do the pats run to make a joke of Porter..

Maybe our OL pancakes him about 10-20 times..

Maybe Matt Cassel might run a 99 yrd TD in Joey's face[he tackle's Matt and fall's down face first]

or Maybe this is the worst one, Matt Light scores on a running TD[about 40 yrds] while dragging joey with him and they dance with that play..

how's that for a beating..haha..

Then again, we PATs Fans should be proud he remembers Matt Cassel's name because that might be the last name he will remember for making a clownish act on him..

PS..I hope the blow the TUNA out of the Sea..haha

Joey Porter reminds me of a retarded Mr. T.

The only the difference at least Mr. T is funny and Porter is an ass. When was the last time Porter help his team win a game. To trash Cassel is simply pathetic.

Hey Joey - get some nuts!

Maybe Porter is in the Presidential election spirit. Don't you remember the famous VP candidate debate between kid Dan Quayle and the "seasoned" Lloyd Bentsen. Bentsen looked at Quayle and said "I knew Jack Kennedy. And you are no Jack Kennedy." And, um, do you remember who won? Heh heh!

And hey, Matt Cassel is no Dan Quayle either!

When will these bozos learn to not challenge the Pats during the week leading up to a game. They need to try the love-fest of compliments that Peyton tried last year. Well, that didn't work either.

Cassel could beat the Dolphins and Joey Porter with his old USC team

Post 51: "Y'all are a bunch of little girls - Patriot fans are johnny come latelys, you probly dont think the NFL even existed prior to 2001."

Or maybe you are the johnny come lately, since you obviously didn't know that the Patriots have sold out every single home game since 1993.

I'm stunned that Parcells kept this moron around.

Apparently this guy hadn't learned from his former teammate last year( You know-the fool who guarranteed a Pittsburgh victory in Foxborough and got burned). You don't talk smack without backing it up; and the way the Dolphins are playing he needs to just shutt up. His remarks should spark some ire..WHOOP 'EM, PATS!!

Apparently this guy is psyhic because the Dolphins whopped that pasty tail. lol. That has to suck, do you guys feel sick.

And i think comments 1-72 feel pretty stupid right about now...

I would think so, Carlos. I guess they learned a Brady-less New England can very well be a Beaten New England. . .

Guess what Patriots fans, "L" may be a letter you're gonna have to get used to.

*T*

Enjoy all the Crow. Wash it down with some ego....

"Jerry Porter", clap, clap, clap clap clap,......"Jerry Porter", clap, clap, clap clap clap. Oh how the mighty Pats have fallen. They're 2 and 2 over their last 4 games and both losses were predicted by opposing players. So much for bulletin board material. Man handled yet again!!!!!!

Too funny... Something about seeing the Patriots get stomped by Miami is fitting.
