Tagliabue vacated the punishments because he saw it for what it was -- a blatant attempt to make the Saints scapegoats for what was common practice in the NFL
That's just Saints homers making sh!t up. Tagliabue vacated the punishments because in a violent sport, there is no way to prove what hits were bounty related hits, and what hits were just normal footbal hits.

He vacated the punishments because when he was the commish he ok'd pay for performance programs under as long as the players put in their own money and some other stipulations. I can't remember it all, but you can find the old espn story on youtube.
Goodell goofed and Tags knew it. Goodell lucked out when the judge threw out Vilma's suit, but the rift between the NFL and the players is way wider now. They don't trust him because of the way he handled the whole thing.

Vitt admits to a pay for play system in which players were rewarded for good, legal plays that included non-hits such as interceptions, forced fumbles, and fumble recoveries. They were also rewarded for good, legal hits.
They were fined for hits (whether clean or not) that resulted in penalties as well as for making stupid mistakes such as missed tackles.
No proof of a pay to injure program was made public outside of conflicting testimony from one very disgruntled ex-employee and one recently fired coach.
No proof has been offered to the public of the existence of a program that offered incentives for targeting certain players or injuring an opponent. The only logical conclusion that anyone here can draw is that there were no bounty related hits because there was no 'bounty' system.
