Years after rift, Williams, Vitt say they're friends

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Gregg Williams didn't want to go there. Neither did Joe Vitt.

The New York Jets assistant coaches, reunited seven years after they were adversaries in the New Orleans Saints' BountyGate scandal, bristled Thursday when asked about their relationship.

"Is this a National Enquirer question?" Vitt snapped. "I like Gregg. He's a friend."

Earlier, Williams offered a similar response.

"Not a question. Next question." he said before the Jets' final offseason practice. "He's a great friend of mine. He'll always be a great friend. I don't care what you've written.
