Documentary filmmaker Sean Pamphilon released a lengthy statement explaining why he released an audio recording of former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams instructing his players to target specific body parts of San Francisco 49ers players prior to their NFC Playoffs game in January. Here's a brief excerpt: "If this story hadn’t broken and been made public, I would not have shared this it. I would not have compromised my personal relationships and risked damaging Steve Gleason’s relationship with the Saints. I would have crafted these words and sentiments for another forum, perhaps years down the road. "In releasing this material, I have severely strained my relations with Michel and Steve Gleason, whom I sincerely love. They had no part in this material becoming public and I may have to find another producer to finish our film project. This was a film which made me have to learn to shoot my camera while crying. This is a film that guitarist Mike McCready from my favorite band, Pearl Jam, has committed to doing the music for. No joke. It’s that deep. It’s that powerful. It’s that big of an opportunity potentially lost. "Some will call me releasing this audio for fame or money grab. True haters will call it exploitation. "People of character and conscience call it was it is; tru." Source: Mac's Football Blog
