Comments on: Sean Payton forgets Gregg Williams' "remember me" comments

By: Rip

First off, at about the 2 minute mark in the interview, the host comments that Williams may end up knocking 3 Hall of Fame QBs out of a game in a row. Williams responds with “and I’m not going to apologize for it”, to which the host says – read carefully “That’s what I wanted to hear”. Then he says that they are going to try to get to him (Peyton) and hopefully give him a couple of “remember me” shots while they are there. That is, again, 100% legal and exactly what every single defensive coordinator in the NFL coaches their players to do.
Now, go back to what the host said – “That’s what I wanted to hear”, and think about that in the context of the question asked later and how the host stated that “you’re probably not going to answer this question”, then asked if he was going to say anything about being careful with the penalties. The end of that answer was “and what you’d like for me to say is that you hope he doesn’t get back up”.
Probably figured that’s what he wanted to hear, given what the host said earlier in the interview.
Biggest non-story on the interwebs, glad no one of any import is actually paying attention to it.

You say saints fans are whiners, Look at Packers fans here three weeks after being eliminated from the playoffs (greenbayflamer_a…green&cold…cheeseyweaselley…etc.). As well as the ViQueen bitches still hanging around, hoping the NFL will change their mind and send that awesome team to the Superbowl. Talk about whining.

It’s funny to see a bunch of sore losers whine about a team that (1) can’t get it done on the field and (2) coughs up the ball 5 times in a game talk about who “deserves” to be there.
A team that can’t hold onto the ball deserves to be watching the Super Bowl from the house.
Oh, wait, they are.

“Grammar really aren’t that hard.”
Hey Rip, listen again. First, your quote is wrong. Second, he is referring to potential discussions with his players (in direct response to the question posed by the interviewer).
Smart ass.

Come on everyone….give the “who dats” a break, they ain’t ever been to the big dance, how the hell they suppose to know how to act. If they wanna believe they deserve to be in the SB, so be it, you ain’t gonna change their drug induced minds. Seems a shame the rest of us gotta watch a boring ass SB just so the who dats get their moment in the sun. I use to always think my favorite team was the best every freakin’ year, til I grew up and paid more attention to their weaknesses, luck factor…..and oh, a few refs in da’ back pocket don’t hurt nuthin’ either, LOL

@MNSportsGuy79, Peccary
“We’ll gladly trade a penalty or two if it means that we get to see Curtis Painter instead of Peyton Manning.”
There it is, from Florios article, in quotes just like Florio printed it. Go ahead and play the audio from where Williams said that. It’s in quotes so it means Williams said it right? Then where’s the audio?
It doesn’t exist because Williams never said it.
And yes I’m taking Florio out of context just like he took Williams “What you want me to say” quote out of context. I guess I should start a football blog.
Bottom line, the Vikings are home, they’re one year closer to Tavaris Jackson starting, and their fans are gonna cry like bitches because they jumped on the bandwagon this year expecting a Superbowl. I’m loving every minute of hearing you whine so please keep it coming.

Footbaloney – um, how exactly am I acting? I know, I should probably let you continue to prove how little you know about the game of football, but other than pointing out the obvious with respect to what Gregg Williams actually said, what is it that gets your knickers in such a twist? The fact that you can’t stand the fact that we’ve been the best team in the NFC all year? The fact that in 5.5 days there won’t be any doubt that we are the best team in the NFL this year?
If you had any clue about the rules and about how the game is played, you’d know that late hits, penalties, and fines happen in virtually every game (pssst – the Colts did it to Sanchez in their last game, guess that makes them dirty, classless cheaters too, eh?).
Too funny.

Gotta excuse Rip and Co., Colts fans have been to the big game and know how to act, for Saints fans this is unchartered waters and they are only acting and blogging like the rest of us should expect them to. The good news is, we won’t be hearing from them in about 10 days. 5 until the SB and then 5 more to listen to them cry “we wuz robbed by the refs for playin’ exactly like we did in the previous game, they didn’t call those penalties then, why would they start now?” At least other teams fans have thicker skin and actually know something about football and the rules. Saints fans wear bags over their heads for 40 years and now they want to be seen and heard, LMAO

@ jgreen1570: a hunter just hides out in the woods drinking beer. A successful hunter kills.
Quote is taken out of context for the purposes of driving eyeballs. A common theme all too often on the PFT planet, lately.
I’m just glad you’re not comparing the Saints defense (nastiness, if you want to call it that) with the dimwitted comments on the Eagles. Suffice it to say, if it were about Philly, we’d hear how bad the city is, the fans, and how unethical it is to play defense like this……allegedly.

The “Aints Bags” be coming out soon. This team is going to fall apart under the pressure of the game. Should have gotten blown out in the NFC Championship game.

Please don’t talk about Williams and the hits to Favre anymore. The Saints fans can’t handle reading about it anymore. It hurts their feelings to read the truth. Besides after Sunday they will be crying about their teams loss.
Saints Suck!!

Whatever, scomibord. No, I didn’t think the Bills would beat the saints in ’09 – Bills ain’t gonna do shit til they have new ownership. The Bills have struggled ever since Bill Polian left as GM. He’s got them Colts Rolling now. Funny how all these saints fans suddenly appeared this season. Good news is that they will disappear after Sunday.
So scomibord: Enjoy the gut-wrenching feeling of watching your team get spanked like a $2 ho on Sunday. As a Bills fan I know how bad it feels to lose the SB. Your team is gonna get smoked! Hahah – they should put that fukn joker Saints fan on the MF’in sidelines as their mascot…

@ stadanko
Are you new? Is this your first time to the site…or just your first time trying to figure out this derned foosball game? Go back and read some articles before opening your laptop next time. Williams abosolutely said exactly what Florio quoted him as saying.

I am sure that Peyton Manning and the Colts were shocked and appalled that opposing defensive coordinators would like to knock him out of the game.
Shocked I tells ya. SHOCKED!!!

Peccary – No, he didn’t. His full quote was “What you would like for me to say is that we hope he doesn’t get back up”. The “you” is referring to the radio host, he was trying to get Williams to say that they don’t want Payton getting back up with a leading question. Williams didn’t bite, but that didn’t stop a few whiny Viqueen fans from leaving both the question asked by the host, and the initial part of the response in order to make it look as if that is what Williams was saying.
Grammar really aren’t that hard.

Peccary…don’t bother trying to talk sense into Saints fans, they only know what they perceive. I listened to the interview too and Florio quoted it verbatim. As another poster Krow said, the Saints “had” sympathy and outside fans up until the Saints started playing dirty and then bragging about it but just like G. Williams mouth will cost the team, the fan’s trash talk has made the cool, calm, professional Colts the class act……but then the Colts “have been there before”.

Nice cherry picking on the quote. The Williams quote from the earier post was “And the only thing you’d like for me to say is that if it happens you hope he doesn’t get back up and play again.” Kinda loses some of the impact when you leave the first part in. It’s things like this that make guys not want to talk to the media, or give bland quotes that mean nothing. Maybe if you didn’t cherry pick quotes for effect, you would get better quotes that you wouldn’t have to take out of context.

Peccary: The quote is lifted out of context. Williams qualified his ‘not get up remark’ with “The only thing you’d like me to say is…”.
Agree that it was a dumb thing to do – - give the media a quote they could lift out of context to stir the s*it – - but Williams did not say nor mean to imply that the Saints’ defense is hoping to injure anyone. What he was trying to communicate is that the media was hoping to get him to say that.

The Saints are going to lose the Super Bowl so it doesn’t really matter what Payton or Williams do or say.
Enjoy your little NFC Championship celebration now, Saints fans. Oh, and don’t buy any of those ‘WHO DAT’ shirts before the Super Bowl – they will be on sale come Monday morning, along with Gregg Williams Wifes pu$$y.
