Williams said the team had offered him a two-year contract and said they would pay his living expenses. Williams was recently living in a tent and whose past includes a lengthy list of arrests. He has served time in prison for theft and forgery and has been cited with numerous misdemeanours, including drug abuse.

So, basically, you love cock, and think the best thing in the world is having someone take a steaming-big dump on your chest. And then eating it off yourself with a rusty spoon. Wow you're a freak, damn.
