Two immediate thoughts on the news Thursday that Joey Porter (http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/sports/steelers/joey-porter-says-hell-retire-as-a-steeler-645370/http://Joey%20Porter)is coming back to retire as a Steeler:

I will never forget those words that he uttered before the Indy Game in 06. "They are soft". I wasnt feeling too confident about that game , I can guarantee you he made everyone angry and confident after stepping up. No other perfect scenario of talking the talk and walking the walk. A turning point in that playoff run and in our franchise.
