TONY Williams is copping a whole lot of abuse for his behaviour in the stands at an NFL game today.
And to be honest, he deserves it.
Tight end Jermaine Gresham had just given the Cincinnati Bengals a 20-3 lead over the New Orleans Saints with his second touchdown catch of the game.
Gresham then tried to do something nice and tossed the ball to Bengals fan Christa Barrett.
But Williams, a Saints fan, would have none of that.
He swooped and stole the ball from Barrett, who begged and begged for him to give it back.
But Williams refused.

“He was not budging at all,” Barrett told The Cincinnati Enquirer.
“He kept saying, ‘No, ma’am. No, ma’am,’” Barrett’s friend Cara Meadows added.
Williams said he had been sitting in the same seat since the Superdome opened in 1975 and there was “Noooooo” chance he was going to give up that ball.
Why?
“Because I caught it,” Williams said. “It’s very simple, I caught the football.”
Congrats Tony Williams, you win the Jerk Of The Day award. @Saints #NFL http://t.co/P3g1frR7jV pic.twitter.com/b5lKGLalUt

Bengals star Gresham ripped into Williams post-match, telling AP: “He should be ashamed of himself, and you can put that on the record.”
The good news for Barrett is the Saints rectified the situation, giving her a ball of her own after the game.
