The Facts: With regard to Oakland bringing back the diva wide receiver Porter, as reported recently by a website or two, the chances are both fat and slim. "Not going to happen," a team official said, and no, he did not stutter. "Nope. Nuh-uh. No."

Diehards Line:While RaiderBeat.com reports that several team officials confirmed that HC Tom Cable and owner Al Davis spoke about the prospect of bringing back Porter, the two agreed that it isn’t such a good idea. In fact, that report suggests that Davis and Cable feel more comfortable bringing back veteran Drew Carter than they do in gambling on Porter having anything left to offer. ... Meanwhile, the Chronicle suggests that Laveranues Coles, who was cut by the Jets on Wednesday, might be of interest to the team.
