Autograph-Seeking Fan Gets in Shouting Match With Super Bowl XXII MVP Doug Williams

Former Redskins quarterback Doug Williams, the MVP of Super Bowl XXII, was in Phoenix to hand out the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Sunday. But not everything went so well while he was there.

Details are sketchy, but this video appears to show him getting into a profane shouting match with a fan after he declined the fan's request for an autograph:

So what happened? The guy who posted the video to YouTube also posted a description of the incident that makes Williams sound like a jerk, but from everything I know about Williams, I'm inclined to think he wouldn't be rude to a fan if the fan weren't rude to him first. I saw a lot of rude fans hounding a lot of former players for autographs when I was in Phoenix, and if the athletes occasionally respond to rude autograph requests with a bit of rudeness themselves, I don't blame them.
