that argument is gonna get tossed so quick it won't even be funny.

Also, I'm not a lawyer, so I really don't know this. it's why I'm asking. Is it up to the NFL to produce their witnesses in court? Am I missing something, why is Vilma whining now that the NFL is not 'producing' Williams? can't they subpoena him and require him to be at court? or was he talking about the NFL appeal.....

He was talking about the appeal. Cerullo, Williams AND the lead investigator Hummel have all already been subpenaed for the defamation lawsuit.

As for the first part of your post, all of those things had rule changes that addressed them. There is nothing that has been written into the rules any different than 1996 concerning pay for performance or "bash for cash".
