Gregg Williams apologizes for “terrible mistake”

Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has publicly apologized, hours after the NFL announced that Williams had violated league rules by orchestrating a system of bounties during his time on the staff of the Saints.

“I want to express my sincere regret and apology to the NFL, Mr. Benson, and the New Orleans Saints fans for my participation in the ‘pay for performance’ program while I was with the Saints,” Williams said. “It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it. Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again.”

Williams isn’t making any type of effort to deny or minimize his role in this: He broke the rules, he knows he broke the rules, and he knows consequences are coming.

The question now is what kind of consequences will be coming. The Saints are sure to be disciplined by the league office, but if the Rams lose their defensive coordinator to a lengthy suspension, then two teams will be directly affected by this still unfolding story.

What I think is funny is the hypocrisy of the fans who go "put a skirt on em!" when someone goes helmet to helmet, but then is all up in arms when they hear shit like this.

It's football. . People try to injured people every game. JFC.

Translation: I'm sorry that I got caught.

The helmet to helmet thing is dumb for both players, however intentionally trying to blow knees out is a whole other thing all together.

You're right. I'd much rather be paralyzed than have a blown out knee.

Oh wait..........

What I am saying is that if player A goes head to head with player B then it is just a dumbass thing to do because player A stands just as much of a chance to be paralyzed as player B. Player A going after someones knee is worse because player A has little chance of blowing out his own knee doing it.
