Is it just me or does anyone else think we’ll be hearing from Joey again?

I got a feeling this guy hasn’t seen his last jail cell.

What’s up with Bakersfield and Porter? Cops seem to have a thing to stop him. Might be better to not tempt fate and avoid the area.

From almost the entire time between 1999 and 2010 I’ve worked in the casino industry.. from a lowly craps dealer to a pit manager.. until I finally had enough of it. I felt like a bartender serving alcoholics drinks. They’re poison and it’s for reasons like what happened with Porter. He may be a moron, but even the smartest, most grounded people are susceptible to becoming hooked on the risk/reward service they provide.

Why do we hear about this? Just to hurt a guy who’s down? He’s washed-up, done as an NFL player, been retired for some time. What’s the purpose of this story?

This is an absolutely shocking story.

They don’t collect debts in Vegas like they used to. He probably still has his kneecaps.

This article almost makes it sound as if Nevada (State Motto: “Fleece The Tourists”) has a debtor’s prison. One reason I give the nasty little town of Las Vegas a wide berth

Wasn’t hard to call. This is the guy that takes his shirt off at the Rio! You’re no Barkley, Joey.

Knowing Porter he probably tried to bribe his way out of jail time… by writing a check.

gambling and “squaring” a $70,000 debt sounds more like someone came to hos rescue. Nobody willfully writes a bad check of that size.

Who didnt see this coming?

I literally just saw him at Mobil a week ago on the Eastside of Bakersfield…poor guy, the NFL needs to create classes to teach these guys how to properly handle their finances and savings. C’mon man…

That’s better than money sir. Those are IOU’s. You see that one there? 275,000 grand? You might want to hold on to that one.

Not a shock to see this happen though.

He signed the markers in June, then wrote either bad checks or checks on a closed account to pay them.

Bad form, Joey. Very bad form. Just try to get credit at the HRC again, and even other casinos. Stiffing a Vegas casino for a marker is about as serious a crime as there is in that town.

Joe Peezy one of my favorite Steelers ever. We all make mistakes and I am sure you will move on to do positive things. You are missed in Steeler Nation, we still havent fount anyone who plays with that same fire.

Wow! Joey Porter should stay out of Casinos! First the Levi Jones thing and now this. If you can’t handle it Joey it is best not to partake.

He was a dirty player. That is all you can say. I hate dirty players I don’t care who he played for. He often hit people after the whistle and they were illegal hits even. never liked him

Hey Joey…Betting out on the Steelers was DUMB!
PS-BigBen should cough-up at least 35K!

I’ve sat in the actual booth of the restaurant in metro Denver where he was shot many moons ago… no joke.

C’mon Porter! Stop askin for markers. If you can’t pony up at that moment, you don’t need a marker. Gamblin’ 101 right there… go sleep it off and wake up NOT owing 70k. You’ll feel all the more wiser, I promise.

That’s disappointing. If ever there was a person who I would have been delighted to see spend Christmas in jail, it would be this ignoramus.

Once a steeler, always a steeler…

Everyone forgets this guy was the original James Harrison.
