I think he's a decent Treasurer. I got some bucks out of the publicized unclaimed money program.

Damn, that article makes a STRONG case for Vilma.

My God, the NFL botched this whole process.

If Goodell can prove that the NFL did in fact warn the Saints not to continue such a program, and the Saints ignored that warning, then we are still in some shite.

Obviously the NFL's focus on safety, or at least a need to be publicly perceived as a "safe" league has become more of a priority recently.

But if there was little or no actual warning to the Saints than we are getting screwed with all this.

EVERYONE should read that link.

Here's a taste (forgive my 3 paragraphs chicken):

quote:

Former Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Jimmy Kennedy submitted a signed declaration to the case filed in U.S. District Court in New Orleans. It stated the following: He said in the locker room during the 2010 NFC championship game, "They are hitting us like there's money on the table." He wasn't referring to any bounty program and was encouraging his teammates to block better for quarterback Brett Favre.

Four days later, then Vikings Coach Brad Childress approached Kennedy about a bounty being on Favre and Kennedy said he knew nothing about it. Kennedy also said he didn't approach Childress about a bounty on Favre because he knew nothing of a bounty.

Kennedy received a phone call from Joe Hummel, the lead investigator for the NFL in the Saints' bounty scandal. Kennedy told Hummel that he knew nothing about an allegation of a bounty placed on Favre. Kennedy said it wasn't an "interview." He referred to it as a brief call. Kennedy said he had another brief conversation with Hummel a few months later and said the same thing. He never spoke to Hummel again.


I hesitate to say this:
But thanks chad. Good job.

But then if this is the case the players wouldn't be suspended, because I don't think that would fall into his "conduct detrimental to the league" jurisdiction

I think it would, all Goodell would say is that the policy has changed about paying for "big hits", that he warned the Saints specifically and that they chose not to obey, hence conduct detrimental to the league
