Lions' Roy Williams says 'score means nothing'
ESPN.com news services

The Lions' Roy Williams apparently doesn't play to win the game. He'd rather
strike a pose.

Williams' celebration after his first catch of Sunday's game against the
Bears drew ire from the Chicago crowd and had Detroit Free Press columnist
Mitch Albom scratching his head.

When Albom asked Williams why he celebrated a reception with his team
already trailing by two scores, Williams responded, "I celebrate first downs
all the time. I'm not gonna stop that. I'm an exciting player. If I do
something exciting, I'm gonna show my actions."

Albom responded, "But you were losing, 10-0."

"What does that mean? ... That means nothing to me. The score means
nothing," Williams told Albom.

Williams had angered the Bears by guaranteeing a Lions victory during the
week. Detroit, however, was no match for Chicago in a lopsided 34-7 defeat.

Afterward, Williams said he didn't regret making the guarantee.

"No, because everyone believes what I said," he told Albom.

Williams caught six passes for 71 yards in the loss -- and he issued another
guarantee afterward.

"You can all run with this: We will win the [next] game," he told reporters.
"I don't care who it's against. We will win the game as long as we do what
we're supposed to do. That's my comment for the whole week."
