The NFL has too much lose and won't let this happen. Don't you think something will get fabricated like the bogus eavesdropping thing?

I mean what's the best we can really hope for? Goodell apologizes, admits it was an exaggeration and reduces/removes the suspensions?
He can come up with whatever face-saving gesture or explanation he wants. I don't care. I just want SP and Loomis back, then Vilma and Smith. The best hope is that the owners start grumbling to the point that they force Goodell's hand.

Only the NFPLA and the players they represent can keep this story in the light. The coaches have absolutely no leverage (if they want to continue to coach in the league).
I'm sure Goodell wants this story to go away now. I'm sure Goodell wants to answer every question concerning "bounty gate" as, "we have addressed the issues with 'pay for performance' and we are moving forward now". But Vilima wants evidence.

I think Nixon had those same feelings at one point.

Me too dude. I wanna see the ground give way and it all come crashing down. I can't stand the way the NFL has become a sterile, overly corporate, overly officiated turd.

It would great to see Goodell removed if this issue continues to go south.

Now the investigator " resigning " maybe was some smoke?

GODell will NEVER apologize!!! Because GODell's reputation and job is on the line! He will go down in flames if he has to! The owners will remove him if his claims do not hold up because this man has lost his credibility!

I hope this somehow screws goodell right in the arse. I hate that entitled silver spoon son of a bitch.

the reputations of Gregg Williams, Sean Payton, Joe Vitt, Mickey Loomis, Anthony Hargrove, Scott Fujita, Will Smith, and Jonathan Vilma forever have been sullied. The least the league can do at this point is share with all of us the evidence that justified publicly branding these eight men as cheaters, liars, and worse.
If the league destroys the evidence like they did with Spygate, can Payton, Vitt, GW, etc sue the league for slander?

First comment after the story.
This is your average fan. He doesn't care about the truth. He just takes the nfl and espn for their word and blindly accept that the Saints are guilty. Actually I don't think they even care if the Saints are guilty. It's not their team, so not only do they not care, they like it.

Florio, I know you want all the evidence but it’s not your business to have it. Yes, you’re in the media but the NFL doesn’t have to disclose what it has. I’m one fan who’s comfortable with what the NFL has done here.

OH shite!
This is about to get intense. Goodell has started a war.
I can only think of one appropriate quote for this, and allow me to embellish some.
Kill the fricking head and the body will die, gentlemen!

Why can't the Saints just turn the evidence over to the media themselves? Wasn't it mostly emails?

If things happened the way goodell says they did, don't you think one of these suspended players would be going public in agreement with the league even if was just to curry favor?

This is epic...everday I think more and more that someone important at the NFL office (hopefully Goodell) is going to lose their job.

The NFL's lead investigator already voluntarily left his job. Hmmmm...
