I know on the discalimer for MLB games its mentioned that the announcers have been approved by MLB. Maybe the NFL is different. I would think whoever hires him for TV work may get less of a TV deal the next time around. They may decide to divvy up the $$$ more to another network. We'll see. I do know it makes the NFL and Goodell look really bad if he's on the air commenting on games.

Gregg Williams isn't looking so good right now.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
I figured this whole thing was probably overblown a bit by the NFL, but that it was still a suspension and punishment that needed to happen. After listening to that audio tape, any coach who was in the room when that speech was made should not ever coach again.
That is beyond ridiculous to specifically target hitting guys in the head, and even more so guys who have had concussions in the past. Talking about going after an ACL or vernon davis ankles in the pile has no place in the game whatsoever.
There is a distinct difference between telling your guys to go knock the **** out of someone and hit em as hard as you can (both fine) and the garbage that Williams was spewing.
Newsflash!
Joey Votto does not care about RBI.
NEITHER SHOULD ANY OF US
I guess I'm just jaded but that stuff really didn't surprise me (Jack Tatum and "North Dallas Forty" and snot bubbles and all that). I know the NFL is trying to get away fron that kind of stuff and I think that's a good idea, but the fact that those kinds of raw speeches happen doesn't surprise me.

I look forward to the NFL outlawing the chop block soon.
The most interesting thing about the tape is the timing. Is it a coincidence that the tape came out the same day as Payton's appeal? I don't think so. Goodell is very smart and he doesn't want this appeal to be successful. So, what better way to do that than to encourage the release of this tape?

Saints deny. Stay tuned.The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Louisiana was told Friday that New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis had an electronic device in his Superdome suite that had been secretly re-wired to enable him to eavesdrop on visiting coaching staffs for nearly three NFL seasons, "Outside the Lines" has learned.
