What is he apologizing for? I saw nothing wrong with his behavior.

Just boys being boys.

Who here among us can truthfully say that they've never been in a brawl?

Fixed it for you

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

as far as apologies go, it was good except for the line "no matter how intense the provocation"

I mean, you accept the blame, promise you won't do it again, assure that it's not in your character, and then stop at that.

He and like 5 other guys targeted and jumped a dude. It wasn’t a fight. Without hearing an incredibly damning reason for why that guy deserved it (and I mean DAMNING, not that he stole money or slept with someone or whatever) there’s really no excuse.

Well enjoy the hundreds of thousands to millions lost in the civil suit and the time in prison you are gonna get for that "lapse in judgement"

Sorry but there was no lapse in judgement, it was premediated, it's all there in the video. Heat of the moment or a couple of hits 1 on 1 I buy as a lapse. Walking up with a crew like he did, hitting him, then grabbing a bottle while your crew has the guy held and getting cheap shots in. That's not a lapse in judgement. He had ample time to evaluate and rethink his actions before taking them.

Willie very lucky that bottle didn't break and a shard stab the guy in his throat or eye.

Saddens me a bit. Not that any of the players are even close to being my friends, but I always thought WMcG was ‘one of the good guys’. There was too much going on in the video to be a ‘spur of the moment’ incident. As per other posters.

I'm sure that guy deserved a beating. I support Willie.

I don't think you know the meaning of "lapse in judgment."

Personally, I'm disappointed in Willie's form in the video. He's definitely slowed down. The person that used to be a beast at putting a severe hit on another man looked out of shape and even struggled to hold on to the dude. He needs to retire from dishing out these whoopings.

Still love you Willie and accept your apology from those of us that get it. Only God can judge you.

NFL Great? More like Patriot great and FORMER NFL Analyst...they should fix the title

 

[VectorPrime]

Ffs. Unless it comes out that the guy he jumped, and yes Willie jumped him this wasn’t an actual fight, did something unforgivably criminal there’s no excuse for this. I don’t give a **** if he ripped Willie off on some money or slept with the wrong person. The only thing that would justify THIS kind of ambush is the kind of crime that gets you stabbed in gen pop if you know what I mean.

You’ve gone a bit askew. I’m still with you but rein it back in, please.

 

[Dr Pain]

The video showed it was far worse than I had imagined it would be and it went on with far more guys beating that one guy than I would have imagined. I don't see how he ever recovers from this. I was expecting a fight not a cowardly ambush of an unsuspecting guy sitting eating at a table. Unless that guy was Putin, Willie is done.

Of course but that wasn't a brawl...

That was an unprovoked assault.

I had assumed the first post was /s? No?

Rolling into Dennys 5 vs 1 is not a brawl.

Cornpop didnt need no posse.

If you've paid close attention to Willie over the years this doesn't come as a surprise.
