NFL: Saints Bounty Thread

[papachaz]

what you've posted and what I've read are different, I don't know which to believe, and in reality, don't care. Here's the excerpt from what I just read about it.

"Having reviewed the testimony very carefully, including documentary evidence that is at the center of the conflict, and having assessed the credibility of the four central witnesses on these matters, I find there is more than enough evidence to support Commissioner Goodell's findings that Mr. Vilma offered such a bounty (on Brett Favre)," Tagliabue continued in his statement.

I still don't see how defamation can be proved, and I do think that this will be appealed out until vilma is out of the NFL. Regardless of what saints fans think, a New Orleans judge is NOT an impartial party. I can't believe the NFL hasn't requested a change of venue.

I'm also wondering, PT clearly said there were grounds for punishment, (fines) so does the NFL now fine them, or just let it go?

For the record, I have been anti Goodell in his handling of suspensions and fines, and his sissification of the No Fun League ever since he started. I was cheering the fans booing him at the draft last year during the lockout. His handling of the lockout, the refs, too harsh of fines for hits that don't even deem a flag in the games and now the way he handled this.....man I wish we had Pete Rozelle back
