Vox, please send your post to Roy. If he is really THAT confused, someone better tell him directly in a hurry. Why does a player with as much skills as Roy Williams make so many stupid comments??
to grag a bedard of the milwaukee journal sentinel. fuzzy thurston played on six world champions not five. five with the packers and one with the colts. he’s the only player in nfl history to win six championships.
Braylon should ask Plaxico how many deep balls he’s getting these days.
Despite the error pointed out by packfan66, the Favre article was very interesting and thought provoking.
Interestingly the writer did not call Favre “Lord” or mention polio or anything like that.
Note to Ron Turner:
The first step is admitting it.
“Several Packers greats of the past weighed in on Monday night’s matchup with Brett Favre and the Vikings”,
including lengthy comments about the nuances of his taint and its potential impact on his ability to play at a high level.

Nowadays he’s calling them “balls deep”.
“Cowboys WR Roy Williams said that he’s unclear of what his role he plays in the offense.”
Unfortunately, this is what Coaches Wade and Garrett bring to the Cowboys. There is a lack of leadership, direction and effective communication.
Roy Williams knows he is a WR. The problem he is alluding to reflects the coaching.
Wonder why it is that Coach Wade ALWAYS looks lost on the sidelines. Get one of those “experts” on reading body language to go over the tapes of him on the sidelines and it will be a field day! lol

He had headset trouble the other night. Jerry was calling the plays from up in his box and the damn mike went out. Wade and Garrett both pissed themselves. whattya expect from a couple of inbred Texas sock puppets?
“Cowboys WR Roy Williams said that he’s unclear of what his role he plays in the offense.”
His role is to be the second-most overrated player on the team, next to the guy who throws him the balls that he either can’t catch, or are so off target the cornerback covering Roy can.
