Joey Porter Sr. played for the Steelers for eight years, and later coached for five more under HC Mike Tomlin. Now that he is just a Steelers fan and dad to Joey Porter Jr., he is resisting temptation. Offered the opportunity to stand on the sidelines for one game, he recalled turning it down for one particular reason.
“The funny thing about it was, I’m in the stands, because I told [Mike Tomlin], Mike is good, ‘Man, you want to come?’ I’m like, Nah, man, until they give me a suite, I’ve got to sit in the stands,” Porter recalled on the Not Just Football podcast.
