Roy Williams jokes with Joe Torre on HBO show
Bengals safety Roy Williams, a former OU standout
On this week’s episode of “Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals,” Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre makes an appearance.
In a hilarious exchange, Bengals defenders Tank Johnson and Roy Williams, who both played for the Dallas Cowboys last season, pay a visit during batting practice as the Reds prepare to host the Dodgers in a recent series at the Great American Ballpark.
Johnson, who is on a quest to meet Torre (“He’s an American icon.”) wants to take a photo with him and ask him to have a beer. Finally, they greet Torre in the visitors dugout and ask the four-time World Series winner for any words of wisdom that he can share.
Johnson: “That might be the coolest thing I’ve done since I’ve been in Cincinnati.”
In the program, Johnson brushed up on his NFL history with a little twist. “I just learned who Donnie Walsh was and why he was so important to the NFL. That dude was a coaching genius. That damn West Coast offense.” When a Bengals assistant corrects Johnson and says it was Bill Walsh, who once coached in Cincinnati, Johnson remarks, “Who’s Donnie Walsh?”
