Majik: Thank you for taking the time to sit down and discuss Plaxico Burress' predicament.

Porter: No problem man, it's a pleasure to be here.

Porter: Plaxico is like a brother to me. I take it real personal how he's being treated.

Majik: I respect that, go on.

Porter: Everybody has their mistakes, but that's exactly what they are ... Until you've been in that situation, when you've been robbed at gunpoint or you've had a gun waved in your face or had your house broken into before or been carjacked, you really don't know what it's like.

Majik: You are right, I have no idea.

Porter: For a person to carry a gun, I mean, you're not carrying a gun to show that 'I'm tough.' It's safety, it's nothing but safety.

Majik: I understand, but isn't there more logical ways to go about this, lets say body guards? You do have the money to hire them, dont you?

[Porter said he does not have a bodyguard, but acknowledged that he owns a firearm, and has a permit to carry a concealed weapon in California, but not in Florida.]

Porter: I'm not saying I'm walking down the street with a handgun on my hip. I'm not doing it for show. It's not fun. Hopefully, in my lifetime, I never have to use it.

Majik: Oh.

Porter: I'd rather get caught and take the little penalty from the media, whatever the situation may be, than not have a chance to save my life.

Majik: No doubt, I understand what you are trying to say. Now that W. is going to be out of office the beginning of 09, hopefully America can finally get the change it needs.

Porter: Exactly, I support President elect Obama 110%, he's exactly the change this country needs.

Majik: I find it kinda ironic you would say that, you do realize Obama has been an advocate of banning gun control from as far back as 1996.

Porter: My bad, I was not aware of that. I gotta go.

[Porter gets up and begins to walk out]

Majik: Mr. Porter sir this interview is going to cost, $20,000.

Porter: Oh hell no, for what?

Majik: For President elect Obama's redistribution of wealth.

Majik: Spread the wealth, mutha ****er!!!!

Porter is an idiot!

Boss Man · 12-10-2008, 07:53 PM

Roger Goodell's statement was a pretty ignorant one... When he said "If you need a gun you shouldnt be there."

Well im pretty sure Sean Taylor was minding his own buisness at his own home, when he was shot and killed.

great point, i guess according to Goodell he shouldn't have been there. Goodell has an endless abyss of ignorance.

BroncoMan4ever · 12-10-2008, 08:06 PM

Plax is an idiot and Porter is a bigger ****ing idiot for agreeing with him

He wasn't saying it is wrong for you to own a gun, he was saying that if you are going out to a club and think you need a gun for protection because you might get your ass shot, you should keep your ass home or go somewhere else you won't need a gun.

also the Taylor thins is a completely different thing. he wasn't out in places where he would get into trouble or possibly need a gun or get shot. he was in an unfortunate incident where he was shot, he wasn't a douche out looking for trouble

Bronx33 · 12-10-2008, 08:21 PM

See what porter doesn't understand is the need for a brain in order to be smart enough to not bring it or go to places where you feel the need to need a weapon. Simple put ( grow the **** up) and quit pretending you're some kinda gangbanger that needs a gun in order to feel tough, the only thing a gun will do is get you shot or you kill somebody else and those folks are usually inoccent bystanders or your leg because you have zero clue how to handle a gun in the first place.

On the flipside though Taylor had run-ins before with trouble and the law regarding guns. I guess im the only one thats surprised that trouble found him at the worst of times.

sure he had trouble in the past and had started to move on and get his **** together, he wasn't out at clubs with a gun down his pants like a dumbass, causing trouble. he was home, rehabbing a football injury and bad **** happened.
also, there has been nothing to say that the people who shot him were people he pissed off in the past or that they even meant to kill him. they shot him in the leg and happened to hit his femoral artery, if they meant to kill him, they would have shot him in the chest or head.

Sean Taylor just was in the wrong place at the wrong time, Plax was just being a giant douche.

you would illegally carry a firearm in a state w/ a multiyear mandatory sentence? I don't think you can afford the lawyers plax can.

Yea, I think that's playing with words a little bit.

Goddell wasn't saying that an athlete shouldn't own a licensed weapon for home protection. He was saying these dum****s should have a glock stuck in their underwear in a nightclub.

Just a wee-bit different.

He would be in regardless if he had a conceal carry permit and I highly doubt NY allows concealed weapons.
