Why Vilma v. Goodell is much more than just a defamation lawsuit

I don't think there is a deal or settlement Goodell could cut, in a defamation case, that would pull Vilma off the attack now, if Vilma thinks he has genuinely been defamed

Agreed, by all accounts Vilma is insanely intelligent, so highly unlikely that this was a heat of the moment decision and be placated. Vilma is a shark out for blood.

Sure he could- "After re-examining the evidence and looking at new material, I now find that Vilma was not guilty. Suspension over."

So let's say that Vilma is telling the truth and Goodell was wrong and defamed him.

Where did this whole report of the Vilma offering 10K for a Warner/Favre knockout come from?

Was it in one of those "e-mails" or something some "unnamed source" said?
