This is going to hurt GW more than the Saints, the timing of the leak of this video doesn't help the appealing process going on today but the only person you hear is GW so hopefully they have some kind of answer that throws him under the bus even more. I'm still waiting to see what hits lead to any major injuries

I still cringe every time I see any 49er highlights from that game on NFLN, what bother's me is that this arrogant, loud moron cost this team another championship

Halo

...Silver got the information from filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who had access to team meetings and functions while working on a documentary on former Saints player Steve Gleason, who's currently battling ALS. More injurious to the Saints' appeals: According to several reports, the team was warned by the league just two weeks before to stop any intent or mention of bounty practices. It is not yet known whether the NFL became aware of Williams' speech during their investigation.

From the Silver story and the audio you can hear here (Warning: it's NSFW -- pretty profane stuff), here's Williams on 49ers quarterback Alex Smith, with after he trots out his old "Kill the head and the body will die" favorite:

That's Pamphilon claiming that Williams used the cash sign. Then, Williams on 49ers running back Frank Gore:
Williams on 49ers running back Kendall Hunter:

GREAT STUFF, BUT THE ONLY ILLEGAL HIT IN THE GAME WAS PUT ON PIERRE THOMAS!

Why is Sean Payton completely responsible for this?

Gregg Williams gets suspended and hardly takes ANY CRITICISM for all this. It's ALL SEAN PAYTON'S FAULT! B.S.

I don't understand what matters about this at all. He didn't mention any money. We sucked defensively. If our goal was to take out Vernon Davis, they should all be benched. Sean wasn't on the tape from what I could tell. And finally, he talked about the "head" metaphorically more than anything. He mentioned ACL (that's bad) but the concussion thing was nothing. As long as we're withing the helmet-to-helmet rules, we should have been good. And the ACL is just to scare them.

At the end of the day, we were obviously the weaker team on defense. And the timing of this audio could only help. Its an obvious and desperate attempt to make this worse. Goodell might be a dbag, but he's not stupid. He should be able to recognize that this was leaked or posted today for a reason.

I've had high school coaches talk tougher than that.

Whats the big deal?

I've heard worse in bible camp.

For the players, it is a zero sum game. One winner, one loser. Any way that a coach can keep a player focusing on the task at hand rather than the possibility that he's one unfortunate angle from being permanently disabled is a good thing. In football, the initiator is not usually the victim.

First, this is a contact sport. The defense has a job. HIT them, they are supposed to stop the man with the ball. This is just a pep talk. Do any of you really thinks he wants to kill a man? Really, you hit the best man hard and send a message. So if he doesn't use an aggressive talk, what is going to say "ok boys lets just make sure the don't score on us. I"ll buy the ice cream after the game"
This is blown so far, it makes me sick.
The GIANTS said the same DAMN thing about Williams in the NFC championship game, they knew about his concussions . They were told to go after his head. And they did, and they admitted to this.
WAKE up people, this is not flag football, but it will be very soon.

I HATE ATLANTA

Another bad day. I can't believe this at all. This is just sick.

Ashley

Ok also this **** needs to be said for boxing, Ok we know he has a concussion, so lets just use body shots for eight rounds.
