Roy Williams Got A *little* Sensitive About The Horsecollar Teasing
2008-05-13 11:10:00 All the scrutiny Roy Williams faced last season eventually caught up with him. He’s been regarded as vulnerable, slow, and dirty for his tendencies to injure opponents with his horsecollar tackling. The opposing teams would intentionally throw the ball towards whatever receiver Roy was defending to exploit his lack of speed. The Dallas Cowboys responded by ...

Dallas Cowboys? Greg Ellis: Leave Roy Williams Alone
2008-05-09 08:17:00 Dallas Cowboys’ safety Roy Williams can still lay some hat, but his already questionable coverage skills have declined as he’s gotten older and slower. A lot of Cowboys fans want him traded if not cut, and some are resorting to treating Roy’s jersey the way receivers and tight ends treat him on the field. Dallas Cowboys’ ...

Redskins 360: Redskins made offer for Roy Williams
2008-04-23 19:39:00 Well now I'm just getting repetitive, but add Detroit WR Roy Williams to the list of players the Redskins made deals for. As David Elfin reports, emphasis added: A Redskins source said that Bengals star Chad Johnson isn't the only receiver about whom the team has inquired about acquiring. But as with Cincinnati, which rejected Washington's offer of the 21st pick in this weekend's draft and a conditional third-rounder in 2009, Arizona and Detroit turned down overtures regarding Anquan Boldin and Roy Williams, respectively. He notes that such inquiries aren't going to do much good, though, since Detroit says Williams is off the market. Of the three, though, I'd actually be happiest with Roy Williams. He's the youngest, lacks the degree of current contentiousness with his current team in Chad Johnson, and (as far as I can tell, though I don't follow him closely) isn't willing to turn down a top 3 WR contract as was apparently the case with Boldin. All wishful thinking, becau...

Tar Heel Recruit Sees No Harm
2008-04-15 06:11:00 Why not stick with a good thing when you see it? Apparently one Tyler isn’t good enough for Roy Williams as he’s picked up a 6′11″, 220-lb. center with the same name. Well at least the first name is the same. Tyler Zeller is just one of several exciting recruits who may have a year of ...

Roy Williams’ Catharsis
2008-04-11 07:26:00 A lot has been made about Roy Williams’ rabid Jayhawk cheerleading on Monday night. Even given Williams’ Kansas background, it was surprising to see him so enthusiastic about the team which had just broken the hearts of his players. Many UNC faithful are not too pleased with their coach—-this article sums it up nicely—so why exactly did Williams do it? The answer can be found five years ago when Williams decided to leave Kansas and Jayhawks fans around the world called him every dirty name they could think of. It’s clear that Williams never got over the hurt from the vitriol spewed his way. For the last five years he’s wanted Kansas fans to know how much the school meant to him, how much he cared for those Kansas players, and how difficult it was for him to leave. Unfortunately, he never really got a chance to show it. On Monday night Williams got that chance, and he decided to take it regardless of the consequences. He knew his Kansas stick...

Roy Williams Wins the Title!!!…oh wait
2008-04-08 08:27:00 Congratulation to the Jayhawks. And congratulations to Bill self for winning despite nearly throwing the game away by inexplicably switching to a zone defense. For 28 minutes Kansas had been playing terrific defense. Derrick Rose was ghost, and the entire Memphis offense consisted of Chris Douglas-Roberts taking difficult jumpers. Kansas was wearing them down and had the game in control. So what did Self do? He decided he had to contain Douglas-Roberts and went to a Box-and-1. It contained Douglas-Roberts, but it also let Derrick Rose play 4-on-4 against a zone. It woke Rose up and he took over the game. Fortunately for Self, Memphis’ free throw shooting woes (remember those?) caught up with them. On another note, this is the 2nd straight year where all four Final Four teams could be considered “greatbasketball teams.” I can’t remember the last time that happened. It’s like somehow by not letting teenagers play in the NBA, David Stern has rai...

Adding to a Rivalry
2008-02-21 08:16:00 We all know UNC-Duke basketball is one of the greatest rivalries in sports, and the greatest in College Basketball. UNC coach Roy Williams and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had a war of words on Monday, already adding to an intense rivalry.Coach K had something to say (love the rhyme?) about the Tar Heels, taking an unnecessary jab at their injury problems, saying that Duke doesn't discuss injuries "unlike other schools."Williams had something to say about that on his radio show Monday. "Well, it's not, and regardless of what somebody else says about them having injuries too, which is a bunch of bunk, so I don't give a [crap] what somebody else says. They can coach their own darn team and I'll coach my team ? in case anyone had heard some statements about that."Williams had more to say on Wednesday after being questioned by the media: "Well, it struck a nerve because I don't ? if you guys would leave me alone, I wouldn't tell you anything," he said. "It's not like I'm getting...

Roy Williams Takes Shot At McNabb
2007-11-03 06:01:00 It started innocently. Donovan McNabb said earlier in the week thatanyone's plans to win the NFC East have to go through Philadelphia. And mostCowboys agreed with the quarterback, based on the five division titles theEagles have won in the last six years.Until, that is, Thursday."Right now, they are in no position to talk about everything goingthrough Philly," Cowboys safety Roy Williams said of the 3-4 Eagles."Some teams went to Philly and beat them. No one is worried about 'You have to go through Philly.'>>DallasNews.comThanks- for the bulletin board material Roy. I doubt the Eagles really needed another reason to hate the Cowgirls, but you just gave them one.Williams could have taken the high road, but obviously he is a classless punk. Why is he talking, when he is always out of position?
Roy Williams to Jeff Garcia, Um Yeah... Tampa Bay Bucs-Detroit Lions Prelud
2007-10-19 03:15:00 Don't look for Bucs QB Jeff Garcia and Lions WR Roy Williams to meet at mid field after the game Sunday to share chuckles and hand shakes. Lions WR Roy Williams put QB Jeff Garcia on blast this week on WDFN ESPN Radio. He went as far as to say Garcia blamed his teammates rather than own up to his mistakes. Checkout that portion of the interview below by pressing play: It's kind of lame, after the fact, to call out your former QB publicly, but hey it makes for some good entertainment. It's a shame QB Jeff Garcia didn't hear this rant and get a chance to respond to it ....... Oh wait he did: "As a quarterback, you're always shouldering the blame," he said. "I had no problem absorbing whatever it was that I had to absorb (at times) when we weren't able to win football games. We play this game as a team and everybody's responsible and everybody has to have accountability. That's where I felt that, at times, there wasn't a whole lot of accountability among everyon...

NFL Groupies Beware: Lions Wide Receiver Roy Williams Is A Scumbag. . . (No
2007-10-03 23:46:00 Not that NFL players are known for romancing their mistresses and groupies but those looking to nail an NFL player should probably avoid Roy Williams. While groupies certainly seem to get off on the wham bam thank you maam type of thing, in the case of Roy Williams it's more of a wham and a bam without the thank you. Nevertheless, he does show gratitude towards his pizza delivery guy:"There's no such thing as a tip. But I am really polite and I say 'Thank you sir.' . . . The pizza man knows, when he comes to my address, he's coming for free."While he may not tip, Williams does show dates a good time:"If you're on a date and she wants to go to a nice place, what do you do?I might just take her to the casino and get her a free buffet. If I did take a date out to a nice place, I'd take her to a nice place, like a Red Lobster or something. It wouldn't be Morton's or nothing like that."I'd like to think that this type of behavior is isolated. The reality is we all know its no...
