Roy Williams, Jack of All Trades
September 27, 2004 on 10:23 am | In Uncategorized |Boy, has Roy Williams made a quick impression on Lions fans. It almost helps to lessen the burn one feels over the loss of Charles Rogers for two straight seasons and injects all kinds of fantastic scenarios in the Honolulu Blue mindfields of what may be yet to come. On Sunday, besides essentially keeping the Lions in the game (for a brief while at least), he caught two touchdown passes, played defensive back on one play and threw a pass on a reverse.
As a Lion fan, I longed for a playmaker of this caliber for many a season. His talents have exceeded what many of us could have envisioned. That being said, teams will be directing their energies in attempting to stop him so players like Az Hakim, Tai Streets, Casey Fitzsimmons, and Stephen Alexander are going to have to step it up in order for him to continue to perform at this level.
As many may know by now, Roy is also a thespian. He will be appearing as a high school coach in “Friday Night Lights.” Roy also plays guitar, saxophone and piano. The Lions definitely hope that Roy and Joey Harrington will continue to make music together on the field.

Nice little tidbit re: Williams and his musical/acting chops. I had no idea.
On that note, I thought it was pretty funny how Tony Siragusa, during the broadcast yesterday, talked about how Harrington was a “champagne and caviar” kind of guy, sort of dancing around what he sounded like he *really* wanted to say - that he thinks Harrington and his piano-playing is sissy stuff. He said he couldn’t see Harrington going out for a beer. I was praying he’d shut up before he really screwed himself by saying something stupid - one of those moments where you feel more embarassed for the guy then he does for himself.

This was played up on the local sports radio station. The DJs read between the lines that he “played for the other team,” which I think is a load of crap.
But I agree. I was sitting there saying “What is this guy talking about. Please stop.”
