Worst case scenario right now is losing Vilma and Smith for the remainder of the regular season???

Not crippling.

You know Shanle has been deactivated the past couple of games. You know how long we've waited for this?

So we would lose Vilma and Smith? Look, I don't know about you, but these guys really aren't setting the world on fire. HOWEVER, what they bring to the team with their mere presence will surely be missed.

I will also admit that Vilma has played better each week. And did Shanle get offed or something?

From the link:

quote:

Cerullo reportedly has indicated that he’ll attend (after all, he still wants to work in the NFL). Williams reportedly has declined. If, however, Williams wants to ever work in the NFL again, he’ll show up.

If he doesn’t, the NFL should be blocked from relying on Williams’ sworn statement, which curiously was signed in September after an internal appeal board threw out the first wave of bounty suspensions, forcing the NFL to start the process over, from scratch.


I think this is gonna get thrown out.

Well, technically if their witnesses back out then they would have no choice but to throw it out. The spotlight is on the NFL now to see if they will be fair.

I won't say that Vilma has been beasting since he's been back, but you have to admit the defense has looked better since his return.

I think the tide may have turned. The reporting of the Ed Reed story is a 180 from the initial coverage of Bounty Gate. The media doesn't trust the league any more. But the question is, can they drop the punishments against the players and move on, or would dropping the punishments open a whole new can of worms.

I think the league wants to just move on, even if that means no punishment for the players, but I'm not sure they can. Is clearing the players an indictment of Goodell? Does clearing the players because Cerullo and Williams' testimony is ruled insufficient mean that Payton gets to come back? Does clearing the players show the NFL is overzealous when it comes to safety, a good thing for the lawsuits, or does it show that they aren't serious about safety at all and this was all a sham, a bad thing for the lawsuits and the reasonable conclusion that most people seem to have come to.

If anything is thrown out, we should be able to get extra picks in the 1st round!
