Jonathan Vilma's Lawsuit Against Roger Goodell Dismissed - F ROGER GOODELL
Vilma's defamation lawsuit gets dismissed.
Well I didn't expect much but I was hoping that this lawsuit would make the NFL release their "alleged" evidence. Power corrupts and that son of a bitch Goodell is about as corrupt as they come. In the end he got what he wanted, no Saints Super Bowl in their own city. F U ROGER GOODELL "Vilma's argument that the statements were made in Goodell's individual capacity is unpersuasive as Goodell was sued as Commissioner of the NFL and all of the statements attributed to Goodell were made in connection with the NFL's investigation of the pay-per-performance/bounty allegations," Berrigan wrote in her ruling. "Therefore, Vilma's claims are preempted and must be dismissed." "While the Court is extremely disturbed by the fundamental lack of due process in Goodell's denying the players the identities of and the right to confront their accusers, that was substantially rectified later in the process," Berrigan added. "So while the process was initially procedurally flawed, the statements were ultimately found to have enough support to defeat the defamation claims." If there are any lawyers on this MB please chime in. I would like to hear your opinion. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...dell-dismissed |

Guess yall forgot about this? Chiefs preached “Kill the head and the body will die,” too. - ProFootballTalk "Among the many incendiary statements that former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams used to fire up his players was, “Kill the head and the body will die.” There’s been a great deal of debate about what Williams meant when he talked about killing the head, but there’s no doubt about this: He wasn’t the only one in the NFL who used that phrase. In fact, players walking into the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive line room in 2008 were greeted with that slogan painted in huge letters: “KILL THE HEAD & THE BODY WILL DIE.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-will-die-too/ So were the Chiefs trying to hurt people when Herm Edwards was the coach? No it's just bullshit locker room talk. Players hear it every day, but maybe not now. |

Does anybody really ink the NFL made is up specifically to target the Saints - you know, the DARLING of the post-Katrina NFL?
If the NFL wanted to destroy a team, they would have targeted somebody like KC or Miami. They didn't just make this up. |

1) You're taking that ridiculously too literal 2) That is a far cry from the specific things Gregg WIlliams was asking his team to do, that is different from using a catchphrase versus paying people to actually do it, and you seem to be forgetting about Gregg Williams talking about specific injuries and how he wants his team to go after them. |

Goodell released to the accused players a certain amount (enough to indicate their involvement) of the evidence against them. If there's no credible evidence at all, why haven't any of the players brought any of that out for the public to see?

So Roger Goodell is the reason we are alternating picks with the jags rather than having them at the top of each round? That son of a bitch.

Goodell is a douche, but I don't think he was trying to keep the Saints out of the Super Bowl. Their crappy defense has done their part in keeping them out of the big game the last couple of years.
