Joey Porter: Tom Brady has his own rules

From PFT:

Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter says that as he prepares to face New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Sunday, he has to prepare for a particularly difficult challenge: A quarterback who gets protected by a special set of rules.

Asked by Rich Eisen on NFL Network's Around the League whether Brady has a special set of rules to take care of him, Porter went off.

"No question," Porter said. "When a guy can tell a ref when to throw a flag, and he gets it, he's got his own rules. They made the rule that you don't go at the legs for Tom, so when he feels that someone is going at his legs, he just points to the ref and he gets a flag. So I can honestly say that he gets his own rules."

The comments come a day after Porter said he had "a natural hate" for the Patriots. When pressed by Eisen about why he feels that way, Porter said it all goes back to the Patriots' practice of videotaping defensive coaching signals.

"I still don't care for New England," Porter said. "The hate's been there for a while, especially after all the cheating they did back in the day. . . . They can sweep it.....

Is anyone else just sick of either Porter or Crowder talking trash before every game and they're not even making plays?

Well at least JT is backing up Crowder and Porters talk sorta indirectly i suppose.

Joey needs to bring it this week. I am confident he will.

While I agree with what you are saying, I also agree with what Joey said.
Anybody remember which game it was where the DT was just in the general vicinity of Tammy Brady and got flagged?

Funny how Carson Palmers leg gets mangled by the steelers and the league says "Its just football."

Tom Bradys leg gets mangled by the Chiefs and a new penalty is put in place 6 months later.

I have to agree. Porter was like this way before he was a dolphin. Also hated the patriots before he was a dolphin as well. It'd be naive of us to have expected him to be any different.

Crowder on the other hand has never went after or said anything i disagree with. He stuck up for the Dolphins when Rex Ryan looked past us and I expect the man in the middle of our defense to have that kind of fire.

We also need to keep in mind that the media spends all day trying to get guys like porter to say something. its print worthy, its buzz, people wanna hear it. Thats why the NFL network put porter on, when really, they should have had Jason Taylor. But Jason wouldn't have said anything.

Its true, even this season, QB's like Jamarcus Russel and several others get hammered week in and week out, yet there are no flags. Brady gets tapped and there are 14 flags on the field.

Last week when we played the Jets is a great example. That hit Gibril put on Sanchez that had Sanchez limping off the field with the air knocked out of him. Lets be honest, if that was Brady I will bet my right arm there is a flag on that play.

The rule in general is kind of ridiculous, its football, let the men play. But being biased towards certain QB's because they're franchise or in Brady's case he's "just too valuable to the NFL", that just ridiculous

If you're going to call it, CALL IT FOR EVERY QB, whether its Josh Johnson or Peyton Manning.

Thanks for the sig, Gish!

Porter didn't say anything that any one of us wasn't thinking already. Of course we hate the Cheatriots and their "special" QB.

Porter is right in this case and everybody outside of Boston knows it. He had a huge game up there in Foxboro last season, let's hope that happens again.

Crowder is the new T-Buck. A player that people love to hate on, however isn't nearly as bad as people say he is.

Trash talking? I don't consider this trash talking at all. He was asked the question, and guess what? He's absolutely right about Brady. I wish Porter would talk more. When he isn't talking, he does nothing.

Crowder though, that's another story.

lol, He's just saying what the rest of us are thinking/saying so I dont have a problem with it.

Nov 5, 2009, 08:21 PM

They cheated, and Brady does get special treatment, there is nothing incorrect about what he said.

I agree with Joey but I also agree with previous posters that he needs to shut up and just make plays on Sunday. I've watched more Pats games this year than I'd like and honestly Brady is his own ref, when he gets hit he gets up challenging the refs to throw a flag its one of the weakest things I've seen as a football fan. I've had a healthy dose of hate but also a healthy dose of respect for Brady....until this year, his open campaigning for flags after hits is a disgrace to the game.

Memo to Jason Taylor, Joey Porter and Channing Crowder,

You guys do not play for the Jets, You play for the Miami Dolphins and I as a fan of the team expect that you act like a professional. I don't care what you think about Tom Brady or the Jets or the Jets fans. JUST STFU.

He's also been hurt. I'm sure if your favorite player didn't perform up to standards due to injury, you'd be sure to make note of it. Everyone needs a guy to hate on though.
