I don't know anything about the incident that took place today other than what iceberg wrote below. But, from listening to JJT's weekly segment on Norm Hitzges's show on Thursday, it sounded like he and Roy had some issues with each other.
Norm was out but, two other guys filled in and they brought up the name of Roy Williams. Before they even asked the question, JJT said "oh you mean the Roy Williams who has no sacks, no interceptions, no forced fumbles or fumble recoveries." JJT was complaining that Roy didn't talk after game, yet had no problem talking on his paid Sunday appearance with Newy Scruggs. He said Roy took back a lot of what he said on Newy's show the next day. He said Roy hides after games and isn't a stand up guy. JJT wanted to know if there was an NFL rule that said since Roy plays far off the line of scrimmage that meant he couldn't intercept a pass or have more hits like the one in the Detroit game. After JJT went off the air, the hosts even commented that it sounded like JJT had an axe to grind with Roy.
I am not defending Roy, just saying when a writer and a player have a problem, you can bet that writer will take every opportunity to bash that player. But, players need to develop a thick skin because criticism comes with territory whether they like it or not. If they have a problem with a writer, they should discuss it man to man.
