... like most NFL teams do, but Williams took it too far and wanted the players to actually go out there and really try and end opponents seasons or careers.
everyone understood that Williams' "schtick" and "false bravado" were over the top
You knew this was coming...
Gregg Williams may have been texting Saints draft picks to someone but it wasn't me | NOLA.com
I don't know if it's just me but I had to stop halfway through the article titled Vitt Questioned Cerullo's Credibility. I was too overwhemed. More so than at any other time since this began. It's so wrong how all this happened.
As Saints fan, a lot of us feel "Football-wronged," but it's so much larger than that. This happens every single day in some form or fashion. On so many different levels.
People are being lied on right now. Someone is going to get wrongfully terminated or written-up or charged tomorrow. Right now someone is on death row that didn't commit the crime they're being accused of. Next week someone will be turned down for a job because their former employer lied on their dismissal papers. Some form of injustice, in massive quantities is being handed out in a perpetual cycle of half-truths and just flat out lies.
The big-time liars, the shot-callers - the ones who make and break the rules as they see fit - they're allowed to dole out as much faulty justice as they want to. And it makes me sick.
Reading Joe Vitt's rebuttals, I could picture myself in that position. People trying to mix in a little bit of truth with a whole bunch of lies and you're left to fight them with the only weapon you have: your mouth. Trying to squeeze as many of your thoughts into an allotted period of time, hoping someone is actually listening. They make you doubt yourself and second-guess what you thought was true. Then when you finally clear your head, when you realize what's going on - it's too late.
I know I'm rambling, but I was overwhelmed to the point where I started shaking and I needed to just get it out. Even though I can't physically change the outcome and I dont have a time machine to go back and make things different - I'm so far from letting this go. I'm not built like that.
I need to hold onto the feeling, the feeling that comes with being wronged. Maybe sometime in the future I'll be presented with an opportunity where I can actually do something about it. And I'll recognize it.
To realize how much turmoil they were dealing with behind the scenes the last 3 years and to still step out on the field and produce double-digit wins, I'm awed by their focus.
I wonder. Was there ever an article written that shows this Oklahoma draft pick was a decoy? I can't find one. That doesn't mean there never was one. But it would sure help to either boost or dispute the truthfulness of Vitt's statement.
Man Duncan is smug. The saints "wisely didn't revoke his team credentials." He is delusional if he thinks his contributions are that important.
When asked to elaborate on his claim that every team in the NFL had a pay-for-performance program, Vitt said, "I've get a text from Mr. Williams, if we want to see it, that he sent to me back in February, the first time that he was - the second time he was called into the league office, he says to me, 24 teams have reached out to me and asked me to take the hit on this because they all do it. Do you want to see that, Mr. Commissioner?
"Yes," Tagliabue said.
Vitt read the text: "For your information, I've had 20-plus teams reach out to me saying that I must stand firm to take the heat because all teams do this. (Expletive) me."
