We all remember the Saints fan who stole the Jermaine Gresham TD ball from the female Bengals fans. If you don’t, here’s a quick refresher.
Tony Williams is the name of the Saints fan, and he wants a chance to explain his actions. Williams is 70-years old and says he was thinking about his grandson and never meant to make the Saints Nation look badly.
The Saints fans that were around me, and know me… they were all saying, “keep the ball.’” But the other people, where the lady was, was saying give her the ball. I caught it fair.
It is what it is. The Bengals fans were given a ball by the Saints organization. We all need to stop harassing an old man for getting a ball for his grandson.
