PS Fujita also said that virtually "every team he'd ever been on" had pay-for-performance of some kind, and he had paid out "a lot of money over the years" (which means on teams other than the Saints). So make of that what you will.
Everyone does have a past... I have a past.. you have a past.... If Will Smith has a past history of speeding tickets it will not weigh in much if at all..

Vilma having a past that involves Bounty issues on a previous team, in a previous league is not going to be viewed as coincidental.

I agree this is important information, good post, but you do understand this will never be allowed in a court room right?

Its hear say, and wasn't illegal. Thats the definition of Alleged.

In fact this happens everywhere in college, and the NFL. If the NFL uses this, then Vilma will start releasing how common this is in the NFL, and the many teams doing it, and that the NFL knew about it. That opens up Goddel and the NFL to legal prosecution by a federal judge, and millions in law suits.

All of the payments you show are not bounties. They are pay for play, and only support his position, because he never payed anyone for a hit where the guy was carted of the field. IF I were the NFL I would not touch this information with a 10ft pole.
It more than likely proves what he is saying, and shows his habits that support his case.

Information has 2 sides, you have to always remember the NFL has a lot more they don't want fans to know than Vilma. Playing this card in court, would get a lot of people fired from the NFL, and maybe even owners facing federal court.

Its actually more likely that Vilma would bring this up in court to show the college and NFL culture, that they are hiding.

Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.
