IF there were truly bounties on opposing players why would Vilma and Vitt expose themselves to federal perjury charges by submitting false affidavits stating that they didn't exist?

IF there were truly bounties on opposing players why didn't everyone with a leg to stand on just take the prudent course and take the punishment and get it over with?

IF there were truly bounties on opposing players why has Goodell not shared a shred of substantial proof?

I can understand your hatred of the Saints and your wishes that these far flung accusations were true, but the tables could have been easily turned and it very well could have been the Falcons in this same quandary. All it takes is a couple of individuals with an agenda against your franchise and a headstrong individual looking to find a scapegoat to fend off major mistakes of judgement in the recent past.

I'll let Vick, himself, tell you why:
"I knew how to lie with a straight face. Sad to say, Commissioner Goodell bought into what I was saying, and I think he truly believed me that I was telling the truth. I deeply regret not telling him the truth from the outset."

"It was a very nervous time for me. I knew I was going to try to lie my way through the whole dogfighting case and see if money, good lawyers, and manipulating the system could get me out of the position I was in -- which was a terrible position."

Guilty people lie, and try to get enough people to believe them to cast doubt. You're buying into their lies, as they planned.
