As subtitled by HBO, Gleason said: “The real problem was no one seemed shocked. There as no discussion of ‘Wow, did we just hear that?’”

Gleason says in his email that his actual words were, “The group I was with . . . no one seemed shocked.” Obviously, this would dramatically narrow the breadth of the response, exempting Saints players and coaches and other team employees who were in the room.

Though it’s not our desire or role to defend HBO, the network’s characterization seems reasonable in light of the context. Gleason was responding specifically to this: “Was there any discussion afterward when the meeting was over and those players saw you, did anybody say, ‘Wow, that was kind of tough Steve, I’m sorry you had to hear that.’?”

And then after Gleason’s response the question was, “Nobody seemed shocked to hear that come out of the coaches mouth?”

Said Gleason: “No, there was no discussion of, ‘Wow, did we just hear that?”

That said, listening to the words that Gleason uttered without reading the subtitles, it appears that he said, “The group I was with . . . no one seemed shocked.”

HBO will change the Gleason subtitles
And HBO will be changing the subtitles to reflect the words Gleason says that he said.

The subtitles on the rough cut claims that Gleason said: “The real problem was no one seemed shocked. There as no discussion of ‘Wow, did we just hear that?’”

Gleason contends that he actually said: “The group I was with . . . no one seemed shocked.” (Listening closely to the words without looking at the subtitles, Gleason’s interpretation seems accurate.)

The move comes, we’re told, after a Monday night discussion between Gleason and producers from the show. As a result, the subtitles will reflect a more narrow view of Gleason’s perceived reaction to Gregg Williams’ cartoonish rant the night before the Saints faced the 49ers in the 2011 postseason.
