Buffalo Bills News and Discussion
Porter, who signed with the Dolphins in March after not being resigned after three seasons with Buffalo, was cut in preseason.
Porter was one of the players burned in Homerun Throwback by the Titans.
"He is a young guy who has played cornerback and safety and is a good special teams player," Titans GM Floyd Reese said.
‘"I feel it is the absolute right decision by the NFL to postpone games this weekend," Wilson said in a statement. "I had conveyed my thoughts to the league in regards to not playing this weekend well in advance of the announcement because I feel that to play the games would have shown a great insensitivity to this national tragedy that has shocked our nation and the world. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and their loved ones, as well as the heroic rescue workers who continue in their tireless efforts to search for survivors."’
‘Players throughout the NFL carried the flag on this charge. They saw their games as circumstantially irrelevant and, one would think, recognized the magnitude of their influence. It’s telling that after the players stripped the NFL of its corporate veneer that baseball and NASCAR and major-college football quickly postponed their activities through the weekend. We don’t need to climb to the peaks of our stadiums. Cause for reflection is right before our eyes.’
‘The Dolphins prefer to play the game, since it was a home date against a division opponent that lost its opener. The majority just didn’t want to play it now, for reasons of preparation, security, safety and respect.’
‘"As it was brought to my attention yesterday, [I felt] the initial shock and the disbelief and numbness in what was going on," he said. "In the middle of the afternoon, [I was] angry about what was going on. Finally, well after midnight last night, as I was getting ready to leave the office, I came to the resolution that if our government says it’s safe to play this football game, and our league office says it’s safe to play this football game, we need to do our part."’
‘"How are you going to play in the Meadowlands (the Giants were to host the Green Bay Packers Sunday) when you have people under rubble right across the river? It would be very insensitive."’
‘"I hope and pray that all the people in our organization take the time this weekend to take a walk with their kids, hug their wife, go and do something with one of their loved ones," general manager Tom Donahoe said. "I hope we just realize how fortunate all of us are."’
‘Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. was in the near vicinity of the Pentagon when a hijacked airliner slammed into the nation’s military center on Tuesday, the team confirmed yesterday. The Bills would not say why Wilson was in Washington, D.C., or the nearby area.’
