MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. - New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was a hit at Super Bowl XLIV media day, as expected -- despite Coach Sean Payton's best efforts to keep him quiet.

The Associated PressNew Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg WilliamsPayton sent a waiter over to Williams earlier Tuesday morning with a tray of peanut butter, saltines and sand, hoping to keep his colorful and feisty coordinator from providing the Indianapolis Colts with any more bulletin board material. Williams grabbed national attention during a slow news week last week for telling a Nashville radio station that his defense would hit Colts quarterback Peyton Manning with some "remember me" shots, Williams explained that he was just having fun with a former player on the radio - former Tennessee Titans hard-hitting safety Blaine Bishop, whom Williams said coined the phrase "remember me" shots.
He said he was surpised his comments got as much attention as they did, but he made no apologies for them, saying he wants his defense to play with that mentality and make opposing quarterbacks as uncomfortable as possible.

"I don't know what I should've said. Maybe I should've blown him kisses or sent him a Hallmark Valentine's card," Williams joked. "But I don't think that would have sent the right message to our defense."

I agree. No apologies. I think this was all smokescreen anyway. A way to get into Mannings head. We will see.

Sand is used in cement mixtures, so maybe Payton thought that eating it with the peanut butter and crackers would cause GW's teeth and lips to seal shut. lol
