God Bless Darian Barnes.

It seems the fullback might have played hookey instead of attending Eric Mangini Charm School. Apparently, 80 pound weakling Travis Daniels wasn’t the only one who was trash talking the Jets last Sunday. It looks like Joey “Speed Bump” Porter had some words for Barnes before the game started last weekend. (Emphasis is mine)

“Joey Porter is a [bleep],” Barnes recounted yesterday. “He’s been trash talking for years. What was he trying to prove coming up to me at the 50 yard line (before the game) like it was some sort of showdown? I’m not worried about Joey Porter. He hasn’t hit anybody in eight years.“

When a photographer approached Barnes to tell him he had a good shot of he and Porter talking before the game, Barnes asked if he could have a print so he could send it to Porter and write the words “[Bleep] you” on it.

“I’m as serious as a heart attack,” Barnes said to the photographer

One can only hope that the photog also got one of Barnes standing up Porter.Ten gallon hat tip to Josh Alper at FanHouse for finding this absolute treasure.
