Ohhhhh, and the jury will be from Louisiana, I take it?

Way to go, JV! I think all players need to follow suit and sue him. I wonder how many lawsuits we could rack up on Goodell?

Think I'm moving to Louisiana just for the odds of being picked on the jury! Bet Goodell will use the "I can't get a fair trial in New Orleans" bit....

And you would win that bet! He will use that. Fortunately he won't get a fair trail in New York either which would be an equaliser.

Good. He will be forced to submit his evidence just like every other citizen. I hope all the people who made statements and thought they would be protected feel like they are hiding behind a garbage can lid right now.

I wonder how much the unspecified monetary damages are?

Documents say he's asking for trial by jury and the court will decide the amount to be paid. Any which way about it, it must be over $75,000 to be in federal court.

All I can say is, DOUBLE DOWN, show your cards! Somebody is going to get bodyslammed in the court of public opinion:

Either -

Vilma = lying or telling the truth

OR

Goodell = lying or telling the truth

Why do I get the feeling it's going to be a little lying and a little truth on both sides...............but the Commissioner should never lie about stuff like this EVER, not even a little bit.
