People Sometimes Say the Dumbest Things

LB Joey Porter on the tactics the Colts used to beat his team a couple of months ago:

"They don't want to just sit there, line up and play football," Porter told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "They want to try to catch you off guard. They don't want to play smash-mouth football, they want to trick you. ... They want to catch you substituting. Know what I mean? They don't want to just call a play, get up there and run a play. They want to make you think. They want it to be a thinking game instead of a football game."

Hmm, a team doing everything they can within the rules to win a game. I can see where that might be upsetting. Porter's opponents should be obligated to do exactly what he expects them to do. Only then is the game fair.

This doesn't quite reach the level of that Jets player who, after losing to the Raiders said, "We didn't lose, we just ran out of time." It's still pretty dumb.
