re: NFLPA [maybe] had Williams tape

All things being equal, simplest explanation is more often the right one. This guy wanted to profit from the film/audio. He released it to do so.
That leaves two options that I can see:
1) Gleason authorized Pamphilon to give the tape to Fujita who then gives it to the NFLPA. If this is true, then Gleason betrayed the trust of the Saints organization.
2) Fujita made a side deal with Pamphilon to get the tapes and give them to the NFLPA to protect himself, in which case Fujita is betraying Gleason's trust, and Pamphilon is doubly betraying Gleason.
Anyone got another theory of how the tapes get into Fujita's possession and thus to the NFLPA?

Which is why he gave it to Yahoo Sports.

And Vilma and Harper and Will Smith. The interests of these players and the Saints organization are not 100% the same but not mutually exclusive.
That said it wasn't the NFLPA that leaked the audio. It was the Sean guy who gave it to Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports.
The NFLPA having it means nothing except that they may have thought about telling the league "hey take it easy on player suspensions or this goes public"

You sure NFLPA had tape?
quote:
Under an inaccurate headline, which claims that the NFLPA actually had possession of the tapes, Mortensen explains that it’s not known whether the NFLPA actually had possession of the tapes.
Regardless, there are other ways to get a copy of that tape besides these 2 methods you say are the only 2 options. It's been months since that game, and it's certainly plausable that Fujita was given a rough cut or some video to view just bc of his close relationship with Gleason and project.
