Joey Porter in fight....

[themaninblack]

he's just mad because even though he is a super bowl champion he's gotten consistently OWNED by Levi since he's been in the league. I'd bet on Levi in a fight anyday.

Yeah, him and seven buddies.

Notes: Video shows group attack

According to a Las Vegas police report, a video confirms that Levi Jones was attacked by a group during Sunday night’s incident at a Palms Casino gaming table.

The report says that the video shows the suspect, Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter, “started the fight with a closed fist,” to Jones’ face and then “several unidentified males punched the victim.”

Porter was cited for misdemeanor battery after Jones was treated for facial cuts in what one source has described as “a brutal attack,” on the Bengals left tackle.

The police report said that according to Jones, Porter approached him while he was gambling “to fight,” and that he and Porter have had words during games.

Police said Friday that the video has been sent to the district attorney’s office and won’t be released until next week.

Jones also told police that he lost two necklaces in an incident as bizarre as the fight. A source said Thursday night that the two chains were turned in anonymously to the Palms.

JONES CALLS PORTER A "COWARD"

In his first comments on a casino cold-cocking that he absorbed earlier this month, Bengals left tackle Levi Jones tells Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com about the incident that resulted in Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter being cited for misdemeanor battery.

"A cowardly assault by a coward," Jones said. "One versus seven, six from behind. The police report came out and told the truth. Joey Porter did not kick Levi Jones' ass. Basically what he did was walk up to me, get my attention talking trash while his boys jumped me from behind. They plotted the thing. He was shooting craps. I was playing blackjack. He saw me, there was no exchange before he just came up on me.

"[W]hen there are six and seven guys with him, he's brave now," Jones said. "Strength in numbers. I guess he felt like the numbers were with him. He's been doing this for years, telling everyone he’s going to do this to me and do that to me."

Still, Jones won't be focused on Porter when the numbers are 11-on-11 during the 2007 season. “[T]rust me," Jones said, "when we play Miami I have a lot bigger problems to worry about than Joey Porter. I'm going against probably the best defensive end in the league in Jason Taylor. I'm not going to be worried about Joey."

I know that since the incident, I've read accounts from Levi himself and he says that Joey is a little punk . He says he saw him recently in Vegas on another occasion and without a gang with him, Joey left the casino imediately when he spotted Levi. This time, while Levi had a lady friend with him and Joey with 6-7 friends, he comes up and starts the fight. It will be fun as the season wears on but already Levi says that he'll be facing the best DE in the NFL in Jason Taylor and he isn't going to worry about something as little as Joey Porter. As someone mentioned, Levi OWNED Porter when Porter played for the Steelers.
