One of the NFL legal analysts said that the comments by the Judge on how she would likely rule, while uncommon, were not unprecedented especially in such a one-sided case. As I stated, seven different Saints players and coaches who were in every defensive meeting swore under oath that no bounties were ever offered by Vilma or any other for injury to opposing players as the league had claimed. The NFL were not able to supply any witnesses to support their claims.

She basically made her ruling before even listening to the case or the defense presenting any facts.

I feel in my heart, lol, that Goodell is actually doing the team a favor. They have presented enough evidence to show the leagues ruling as fair. The problem you and everyone else has, is that you/they feel that its not enough evidence. So, Vilma does a stupid thing and tries to get the info out there by making this an outside court matter. Time will tell, but I have a feeling that the locker room is gonna get down right nasty. If you feel like your team is full of good hearted and honest people, just wait till that info comes out. Your locker room is going to be split in half and damaged for years to come.

I don't care about the Saints. I don't care what happens to them. My bias is on the football field. But your emotional attachment to this ordeal is nothing outside of what we had for Vick. We all got burnt on him. We believed, in our hearts, that he was an honest and good guy that wouldn't do anything of the sort. Low and behold we went 3-13 that next season. Still we have fans that blame him for ruining the franchise.

It is what it is. The facts that you are presenting are opinions and bias reports. As I stated before, you and I both don't know a damn thing about what happened there. It's absolutely stupid to believe that Roger Goodell would put his $20 million dollar PER YEAR job on the line.
