"Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter has been gone from the Steelers for three years, but his heart is still with the Black and Gold.

At least that's the opinion of Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton, who played alongside Porter from 2001-2006.

"In the offseason, I guarantee he is hanging out with us more than he is hanging out with his new teammates," Hampton said.

Hampton expects a lot of trash talking by Porter on Sunday, especially during warm-ups, but he said fans and media shouldn't always believe what they see.

"It's a show for you all," Hampton said. "We don't get into talking smack. We're too cool for that. We are better than that."

Porter has played against his former team once since he was released during the spring of 2007.

Is playing the Steelers still a special game for Porter?"
