What Vilma said in his lawsuit is:
that he never “pledged” and “never paid, or intended to pay” $10,000 or any amount of money as an incentive to knock Brett Favre or Kurt Warner out of 2009 playoff games, or any other player in any other game.

Same thing as in his tweets. What he didn't say is: I never offered to pay 10K to knock Farve out. What he's undoubtedly going to claim, if there is proof that he indeed said that, will be " Hey, I was just overexcited in a pre-game speech, it was hyperbole, I didn't mean it."


He has to know there's no way he can win this lawsuit, unless Goodell has no proof whatsoever, which is really unlikely. If Goodell has just one source that Goodell "believed", there's no way for Vilma to win.
I'm wondering if Vilma thinks there's just one or two "snitches" and it will be his word against theirs? Or if he just wants to find out who it was?
