PORTER PLEADS GUILTY TO BATTERY
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery arising from his fight earlier this year with Bengals left tackle Levi Brown.
Porter was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.
Porter's case undoubtedly will be reviewed by the Commissioner under the revised Personal Conduct Policy. Under the old policy and practice, this kind of thing likely would have resulted in the loss of a game check. In light of the Commish's new approach to cleaning up the off-field shenanigans, we've got a feeling that Porter might actually get a one-game suspension.
If so, the Dolphins would be able under the new CBA to recover up to 25 percent of the portion of Porter's signing bonus that applies to the 2007 cap year.
