In the interest of full disclosure: The only reason why I beeped out the audio for the names of the Saints players is because they were getting paid for performance bonuses, $200 for turnovers was the biggest haul I heard. This is a LONG-held league wide practice and in the mind of any reasonable person without an ax to grind, in no way should it be mentioned in the same sentence as a “Bounty.” PERIOD. End of Story.

Anyone who blames the players for this behavior is clearly missing the point. Just as in sexual harassment cases, it’s the person with the power, influence and–most importantly–control, who dictates the behavior. Yes, the players could have said, ‘no’, but Americans play “follow the leader” and these men have families to feed and many dudes willing to come off the street to sacrifice their body for team and do it for less. The fact is the majority of men who play in the NFL are paid league minimum, with non-guaranteed contracts. How do these–mostly 20-something-year-old–men make a stand in this situation fraught with enormous peer pressure? How does one take a stand against a coach who so clearly controls their destiny? And did they ever consider the possibility that maybe their names were being called out in the other team’s locker room? Perhaps their heads were on the block, as well? On this night of January 13th, the Saints defensive coordinator’s message was delivered loud, clear and with specific meaning. “This is a production business…This is how you get respect in this league.”

In releasing this material, I have severely strained my relations with Michel and Steve Gleason, whom I sincerely love. They had no part in this material becoming public and I may have to find another producer to finish our film project. This was a film which made me have to learn to shoot my camera while crying. This is a film that guitarist Mike McCready from my favorite band, Pearl Jam has committed to doing the music for. No joke. It’s that deep. It’s that powerful. It’s that big of an opportunity potentially lost.

Big friggin crocodile tears. Frick him and his over inflated douche bag career ambitions. Taking advantage of Steve like that is inexcusable.

What a POS

Exactly. That's a nice paragraph but he knew all that when he made it public.

If Jonathan Vilma ever paid a man $10,000 to hurt another man, I need a cancelled check or a verified cash payment by two witnesses. When I studied journalism at Boston University they taught us that we needed two impeccable sources if we were going to make public anything that could ruin a man’s reputation and put a tag of “criminal” or “thug” next to his name.

Joe Vitt is an old-school football lifer and unbelievably charismatic. But when Steve Gleason would show up, Joe sincerely paused and put football on the back burner. He is an unrivaled storyteller, a genuine man and you would love him as an honored guest at your dinner table. In the interest of full disclosure on the night of September 24th when Joe Vitt gave his speech he asked that the camera’s be turned off. I got the first two off within ten seconds. And the third, which was on top of his projector, I nervously had to reach around him to it turn off. Gregg Williams never asked for such courtesy. I’ve been shooting three documentaries over the past two years and any time a subject asked me to turn my camera off, it was off before they finished their next sentence. That’s the way I roll.
quote:
Essentially, Gregg Williams is not entirely unique. He’s just the one who was arrogant enough to continue when he was told to stop and eventually, he got popped for it. In his apology statement he said, “we knew it was wrong.” If he knew it was wrong, why did he keep telling his players not to apologize for the way he instructed them to play the game?
He's either really trying to cover his butt or actually released this to demonize Williams more than he has been.
