"I trust he will do the right thing," Smith told NFL.com, "and make the right call, which is to not suspend any of us, because we had a chance to talk to him."
quote:

"The most important thing I want to go in there and tell the commissioner and the people from the NFL is that there was never a pay-to-injure or bounty program with the New Orleans Saints," Smith said. "We're a clean defense. We never went out there and intentionally tried to hurt people. That was the message I wanted the commissioner to hear. I don't (know) what evidence he had or who he'd spoken to in the past, but I wanted to make it very clear that when I was there in those meetings, that never went on."


I am not one to trust Goodell at all. Maybe Smith came away with a better impression.

Well it's not bad news.

At least a little promising.

Goodell just trying to show the players he is taking this thing serious, but he's just placating them. I guarantee you, as soon as the suspensions were vacated, goodell marked a day on his calendar in which he will hand down the exact same penalties, giving it enough time to give the appearance he was seriously reconsidering things. Man I would love to set eyes on the NFL's internal memos.

IMO Smith and the others(aside from Vilma) are lucky and playing both sides of fence.

Smith can say the right things about Goodell and hope for the best, while Vilma has to fight a lawsuit but anything that applies to him probably applies to all the bounty suspended.

Don't blame him either. It's the smart move on his part.
