  • Charming DeAngelo

    A huge group of writers was gathered around rookie DeAngelo Williams' locker Wednesday. We pick up the conversation in mid-sentence.

    "It's not a dark side," he's insisting. "My top five movies of all time would probably be, um, at No. 1 would be the remake of the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre.' Okay, at Number 2 and 3 would be 'Saw 1 and 2.' But coming in at 4 would be 'The Butterfly Effect.' That's really good, just the concept. At No. 5 is 'Shrek 2.' What's so funny?
