I dig Joey Porter

This is what he said to the Post-Gazette after his annual end-of-the-season one-on-one with Bill Cowher yesterday, possibly the last.

"I didn't cry," said linebacker Joey Porter, like Faneca a team co-captain. "That was a good thing. I almost did, but I didn't"

Our Steelers, tough as they are, are never ashamed of crying publicly. Sometimes even at Mass.
