The entire allegation was based on statements by Cirullo and Willaims. Now Tags says there are no witnesses but the allegations were legitimate.

Seems odd.

Ginsberg had exactly the same concerns on Mike & Mike this morning. He pointed out that Cerullo was repeatedly discredited during cross examination. He referred to Cerullo's claim that Vilma placed $10,000 cash on a table before the Cardinals game as a bounty on Warner. He said that is why they want the transcripts of the hearing to be made public. Even though Cerullo was totally discredited, Tagliabue still used his testimony to support all of Goodell's findings in his report, yet not one tme mentions anything about Cerullo being discredited on the stand.
