Jonathan Vilma will always be known as THE MAN WHO CHANGED THE WAY THE NFL DOES BUSINESS. After this, the commissioner will be required to meet with the player and verify proof of a violation BEFORE he publicly accuses him. This new fair system imposed will be known as "The Vilma Rule" and other players will have him to thank. Some of the people here posting should actually consider that Vilma didn't do what Goodell said before they spout off about him. Vilma knows there's no evidence, because he knows he didn't do what was claimed. Everyone who knows him says he's a man of integrity and he's proving it.

Goodell has to prove his statements are supported by fact. He will have to comply with discovery rules, which are fairly liberal in civil actions. Any leagu communication is fair game, and they will get to depose anyone, and ask anything that could be remotely relevant to the action. This is going to be a disaster for goodell and the nfl.

Great thing to have happened. That Black guy on ESPN is a total idiot. Who is going to throw their teammates or coaches under the bus. This guy is an example of becomming part of the rulling class after you have relatively made it. Vilma should make a whipping boy out of him bet he wouldn't call Vilma a coward to his face Vilma would make a fool out of him and have a lot more choice words to see if he really wanted to back that up. He is the coward. Now we will get to the truth unless they totally black us out.
