He muffed the punt…not really…but by rule…technically. Resulting in a turnover.
Then he fumbled a punt in overtime. Resulting in a turnover.
With the ball deep in 49ers territory, that was ultimately all it took to send the Giants to the Super Bowl. Sure, nobody has mentioned the excellent field position that Kyle Williams handed to the 49ers offense repeatedly, only for the offense to sputter, time and time again. Why would they? Most football fans don’t know crap about football. Few actually played at a high level.
Some fans let loose with their inner monologue on Twitter, offering death threats and other forms of harassment–one guy even suggesting that he hoped any woman willing to sleep with Williams in the future would give him AIDS. Seriously.
In direct contrast, 7 year old Owen Shure, from Los Angeles, decided he would write Kyle Williams a letter after viewing the 49ers playoff loss in tears. When prompted by his father with the following question: “If you feel this way, how sad do you think Kyle Williams is?” Owen asked if he could write a letter to help Williams feel better.
What resulted was the following:
Dear Mr. Williams:
We just watched the Playoff game. I feel really bad for you but I wanted to tell you that you had a great season. you sould be very proud, so I wanted to say thank you.
I am your #1 FAN!
Owen Shure
Los Angeles, CA
