If this turns out to be true the Saints* could squeak by... Or at least the players could. The coaches have already confessed.

[CRA]

Vilma just needs to take it on the chin.

Gregg Williams already admitted to it. Claiming bs and barking loudly is pointless with the man behind it all admitting to it.

[Chaos]

Just another piece of trash from within that organization, even though not currently. Burn it all to the ground.

How is Dr. Weak going to ever establish credibilty with any other player. I just dont get it, how does he expect to come back and coach.

[CRA]

NFL should just ask these clowns why they are still talking....

It is over. You are suspended. Nothing they can do about it. They just signed the CBA. Cant change it now.

[rayzor]

ugh.

i'm starting to get tired of seeing this crap now.

they need to shut up and take it like a man.

i mean if the coaches can, esp. that douche williams, then these players can.

[L-TownCat]

I guess because there really isnt a shelf life for coaches they find it easier to accept the punishment, players on the other hand will have a hard time especially veterans like Vilma of coming back from a lengthy suspension.

Oh well, fug em

:cam:

Yeah a year away is a killer, especially in your prime. Too bad so sad. Happier about Williams than anything else though.

sweet sweet justice, suck it, <returns the crotch chop @ Williams>

I don't see how this information undermines the case against Vilma. Just because he is disgruntled doesn't mean what he said wasn't true. Plus if this was all they had then it might be a problem but it wasn't. There are thousands of pages of documents. A disgruntled employee may have got the ball rolling but it was surely not the only person who discussed the issues. Vilma is just throwing things against the wall hoping something sticks.

So in a murder case for instance, if someone tips the police to who the murderer is, the cops go bring him in. The guy admits to it, but then later he starts whining that the person who turned him in happens to be his angry ex-girlfriend, and thus the case isn't valid?

Sounds legit.

I hope the NFL provides him some security.

No, not by any stretch. With the short attention span of this country coupled with our flair for revisionist history all it would take to sway public opinion and force the hand of the league is a few well timed articles and just enough doubt enducing debate and these assholes get off Scott free.

OJ anyone?

See i knew it would be some joker with a grudge instead of a guy with "high morals" who thru the team under the bus. I have no respect for people like that whatsoever and i hope never gets a job in the NFL again. Its a bitch move on his part.
