    Glad to see that this sounds like it's been squashed already. Hopefully no repeats of this in the future.

    I'm sure he has been fined by the team also.

    Whether that is made public or not, we shall see.

    No way was Porter going to be able to get off without not only apologizing to Sparano but also addressing the team and apologizing. Kudos for J Peezy for manning up and admitting he was wrong.

    that's cool, at least JP didn't have to be called out for doing that, things would have gotten really ugly then and maybe beyond repair as long as he was Dolphin.

    Now go out and kick some Ram tail next Sunday JP.

    This should quell the issue.
    Sparano was able to keep the respect and authority of the staff without having to turn this into a circus with a suspension.

    Kudos to both Sparano and Porter.
    Porter NEVER would have offered this peace leaf to Cam IMO and it's a testament to the respect I feel Sparano has gained from even the most free willed players like Porter.

    Love it, any and every man makes mistakes, but only real men own up to them and apologize. This shows me 1-Despite any transgressions, ultimately JP respects and believes in the coaching staff, and 2-He's not as prideful and arrogant as I thought, he's just a hot-headed competitor who is good at talking trash

    I'm sure he earned some back from Sparano and the team too.

    Gotta say i didn't expect an apology from him.

    Boy, Porter is all class... Well, maybe not ALL class, but it's in there somewhere.

    This just shows you what happens when guys are playing for a coach they respect.

    You think he would've done this last year? I can think of a few choice words he probably would've had for cam. None of them nice.

    Porter respects Sparano.

    While this doesnt make everything better it certainly was a step in the right direction. It was the best thing he could do at that point. So therefore, i applaud him but still think he is a moron most of the time.

    nah, just a gross reference to the movie "stand by me".

    this is how a real team handles their business. a pleasure to see.

    This says a lot about Sparano as a coach. The players respect him and don't want to let him down. We have one hell of a coach
