If you’re not following Mike Wise and Dan Steinberg on Twitter, you may have missed their discussion this afternoon of allegations that former Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams paid bounties for his players to hurt opponents. Wise said he had more dirt than that on Williams; said dirt then followed.
Read the exchange here:
Gregg Williams = great coach. But you miss bad on “great human being” when you pay for body counts and use ugly gay slurs to motivate.

@MikeWiseguy Uh, care to elaborate on that last point?

@dcsportsbog When guy misses a run-read and GW’s response is, “You dumb, stupid [MF], you went in the wrong hole….(cont.)

@dcsportsbog “(CONT.) You went in the wrong, [expletive] hole. We’re not running an AIDS convention here.” Two players confirmed that story

@MikeWiseguy Uh, wow. Wow. Did you report that anywhere?

@dcsportsbog Some things don’t make it into the family newspaper, you know that.
— Mike Wise (@MikeWiseguy) March 5, 2012
@MikeWiseguy There are ways around it. Stuff like that shouldn’t be buried.

@dcsportsbog I had a player quoted as saying he used gay slurs with the best of them. The anecdote was removed twice for “taste” reasons.

@MikeWiseguy jeez. that’s crap.
— Dan Steinberg (@dcsportsbog) March 5, 2012
@dcsportsbog Oh, there’s worse. Some things I can’t even put on Twitter.
— Mike Wise (@MikeWiseguy) March 5, 2012
@MikeWiseguy Also, this is gonna end with us both getting reprimanded.
— Dan Steinberg (@dcsportsbog) March 5, 2012
@dcsportsbog Nah. Because editors have to reign us in all the time and make sure the Post exudes very high standards. It didn’t detract.
