Football is a serious sport. To the winner go the spoils. To the loser, often a pink slip. It’s a billion-dollar business where every decision and outcome is scrutinized every which way. But football is also a game. One that’s meant to be fun. For one moment in 2015, then-Pittsburgh Steelers coach Joey Porter Sr. and cornerback William Gay’s celebration reminded the world of that.
After a pick-six against the Cincinnati Bengals, Gay and Porter celebrated in hilarious and comical fashion, crawling on their knees to hug each other on the sideline. Remembering that play nearly one decade later, Porter shared what was going through his head.
