The Porter Era is Officially Over

First the Steelers parted ways with Bill Cowher. Now comes the release of "their best overall defensive player in the 21st century", as Ed Bouchette called him. Joey Porter was let go by the Steelers today, in a move most everyone could see coming.

Porter was due a $1 million roster bonus and a $4 million salary this year, and when combined with a probable holdout situation, the front office decided that's one distraction the Tomlin Regime could do without.

Porter annoyed many Steeler fans with his never-ending mouth, which at times was very over the top. But there are parts of Peezy that I think fans will miss, such as his pit bulls, the opportunity to see his abs on a weekly basis, and of course, his training camp golf cart.
