Destino Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Washington OT Trent Williams claims that umpire Roy Ellison called him a "garbage ass" and "disrespectful mother****er" at some point late in the first quarter of the game against the Eagles. According to CSN's Rob Carlin, Williams identified Ellison by number—81—and said he was chirping with the refs all day, but Ellison apparently took it up a notch when he approached the Washington as they were about to run a play and let Williams know how he felt about him. http://deadspin.com/trent-williams-says-ref-called-him-a-disrespectful-mot-1466330143 Also from: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/17/trent-williams-accuses-ref-of-cursing-at-him-during-game/ Redskins tackle Trent Williams was frustrated after Sunday’s loss to the Eagles, but not just because of the loss to the Eagles. Williams accused umpire Roy Ellison of cursing at him and making disparaging remarks to him during the game. “When you have a ref come up to while you’re at the line about to run a play and call you, excuse my language, but a ‘garbage [expletive] disrespectful [expletive]‘ to me this is a player’s league,” Williams said, via CSNWashington.com. “I just don’t think there’s no room for you to have to take that from the team and the refs. I think it’s very unprofessional and it sucks. I’m at a loss for words. You never expect that as a player going into a game to have to beef with the refs also.” Redskins guard Kory Lichtensteiger said, via Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan, that he heard the official say the same thing that Williams accused him of saying. Lichtensteiger was wearing a microphone during the game and the league could use tapes from those recordings to investigate what Ellison said on the field.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just heard Trent talking about this and to say he's pissed is an understatement. And rightly so. There's ZERO way an official should EVER lower themselves to get involved in that ****. Keim's tweeting that a lot of other players have backed Trent up from both sides too. The NFL HAVE to act on this one if it's as damning as it appears on Ellison. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Sounds like something that the players' union should handle and not the player through the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Can't say I'm surprised... You always see some refs talking whenever a player gets in their face. This definitely seems excessive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I don't think that last part really means anything. I don't think Trent was subliminally saying something about Shanahan there, like Deadspin is implying. But who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 The issue here isn't so much the dirty language, but the alleged "bias" from umpire #81. However I thought the officiating was bad for both teams in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 So players don't mouth off to refs at all times during the game? Professional behaviour should be observed all around.I agree, but officials should be held to a higher standard than players. Officials are entrusted to ensure a fair game, they cannot have grudges like that. Players are expected to fight for their own side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
