Laughable.

And also spotlight that some amount of evidence exists that Williams had a bounty program on 3 different teams in the past? About time! Maybe people will begin to get the big picture here if some of this info, that has already been in articles, although only in small pieces that were fleeting and spread out. But to have them all gathered and focused in towards the big picture I think might sway some minds.

My question is, after the incompetence shown by the Commissioner in the players lockout, the Bountygate non-scandal, and the referee lockout, will ESPN ever have the guts to do a “character study” of Roger Goodell????????????

Is it an attempt to make up to the NFL for they way they smashed them in their post MNF coverage?

Ty Cobb, Michael Jordan, Lawrence Taylor, Mike Tyson, Micky Mantle, Tiger Woods and thousands of other famous athletes have engaged in acts varying from less than admirable to outright illegal activities at the height of their greatness, but it doesn’t diminish their achievements. So what’s the purpose of undertaking an expose on an above average DB that’s past his prime and a defensive coordinator that was part of only one super bowl winning team?

Is ESPN going to show us that Gregg Williams is a jerk? News flash, if you have ever watched a football game you are probably all ready under the impression that the guys on the coaching staff are ego maniacs, control freaks, and in general not nice people to be around.

Is ESPN going to shatter my world and report that Vilma isn’t as squeaky clean and doesn’t go to church as often as a priest? I don’t think anyone is under the impression that Vilma or most other players are the sweetest and nicest people you could ever meet.

Give me a break ESPN. IF you want to do something interesting, why don’t you do this piece on someone who goes to great lengths to foster an image as a clean living, god fearing, do no wrong sort of person like Tebow?

If they ever do anything wrong, it is most certainly due to the greed and corruption of the coaches, owners and/or Roger Goodell. Players may sometimes be jerks and do stupid things. But that is also not their fault, ever. Coaches are (directly or indirectly) to blame for any and all in-game mistakes. Coaches can always point to the greedy, manipulative owners and NFL league office as a way to explain their misdeeds. It is very easy to understand if you only listen to the pundits, columnists and bloggers.

ESPN is still so PO’d that they were left out of the NFL leak loop concerning Bountygate, that they continue to manufacture controversy. Outside the Lines has swung and missed acouple of times already. Another corn popping announcement. :-)

I can’t believe the NFL let Vilma on the sideline in week 1; that lowlife should be banned for life. Him and Williams.
