- He can always take the Happy Gilmore approach and endorse Subway. The script would go something like this:

Williams (to player) – “Son, are you hungry? Would you like a Subway foot long?”

Player – “Yeah, coach, I love Subway!!”

Williams – “Well, go out there and break that quarterback’s leg, and I’ll get you a foot long!”

OR….

He can be the new spokesman for Bounty papertowels.

And with an indefinite suspension in place, he floats out an apology like this simply to feign contrition – and hopefully (for him), mitigates matters for himself so he can be on NFL sidelines that much sooner.

The common bond in all of Williams’ conduct: they’re all to benefit Williams. Even his protracted web of lies was to cover his backside.

Not a real stand up guy when you think about what he’s about.

Baby Brady has been overally protected for years by the refs as well. Just admit it and get on the road to recovery.

meaning something that was aquired through cheating.

Yet another lie. These were activities he planned, carried out and continued, even after the NFL investigation began. Not only a liar, but stupid as well.

Yeah me too. It was like a guaranteed annual earthquake followed by skittles showers.

Pretty pathetic what the Seahawks did to his vaunted defense BOTH times we played them in 2010.

I’m not a Saints fan, having grown up in Pitttsburgh. You’re upset that the Saints “compromised player safety” for “A few hundred dollars”.

Yes they did. My point is that Goodell chooses when to pretend to be outraged and when to ignore the exact same violations of the rules.

Consider: After a Steelers-Ravens game in ’08, Terrell Suggs was asked by a radio host: “Did y’all put a bounty out on that young man?” (The “young man” was R. Mendenhall, whose collarbone was broken by Ray Lewis).

Suggs replied: “Definitely. The bounty was out on him, and the bounty was out on Hines Ward. We just didn’t get him between the whistles.”

NFL exec VP Ray Anderson’s responsed by saying: “That ‘bounty’ notion is completely against the rules. To the extent that someone is engaged in that activity, we will look into it and address it.”

Goodell “addressed” it by ignoring it. NOW however, bouties are evil. Why did ignore what the Ravens ADMITTED doing?

As to your comment about the joke of a punishment the Patriots had to deal with after Spygate, if you assume he gets paid after each game, Belichick made that money back after game two or three. As if he cared.

They were also stripped of the LOWER of their two first round picks. Oh, the pain of it all.

khuxford: He is suspend indefinitly, so there is no control to be given up by firing Williams. He can’t work for, contract with or consult for any other team. Even if he could, no team would want him, right now.

Firing him for his actions and not the “looming suspension” should have been the call in St. Louis. Right is right.
