Wish it were true. Vilma is trying to 1) establish his case with the judge and court, and 2) get a restraining order so he can play this fall and head to training camp due to the NFL's insistence to run a Kangaroo court AND force VIlma to have Goodell in an unfair appeals process.

NFL cross-examines Vitt...

The #NFL At this moment is up to Interrogate #Saints Joe Vitt now...

Rock of New Orleans ‏@SaintsWRNO
Judge asks Vitt if he was aware of #Saints Pay For Performance deal. Vitt says yes, but adds many teams do that. Sometimes mngmt involved.

John DeShazier ‏@JohnDeShazier
Cross exam strategy is simple, too - show that Vilma could have called witnesses to testify at June 18 appeals hearing, and weren't


John DeShazier ‏@JohnDeShazier
Vitt said Payton never was privy to defensive meetings, had no knowledge of what was said in them


John DeShazier ‏@JohnDeShazier
Vitt said he twice looked Goodell in the eye and said there was no bounty program

FOOD FOR THOUGHT WHILE WE LOOK FOR MORE UPDATES....

Guys, join in with questions, comments, any updates you find please.............

NFL: Is it true that if Vilma's suspension is lifted, another player will lose their job?

Vitt: Yes. NFL: That is all. -- rjonesTP (@rjonesTP).

@rjonesTP
"To be clear, that was the end, not the extent, of the NF'Ls cross examination. Judge is asking Vitt questions about what he knew now"

@rjonesTP
"Judge asks Vitt for definition of kill the head whack and cartoff. Vitt represents almost exactly what Vilma said it meant. Almost verbatim. "

@rjonesTP
Vitt said he wasn't aware pay for performance was illegal. "But I should have."

they're at lunch now...30 minutes. That was about 10 minutes ago though.

The judge asked some questions posted above. The NFL asked 1 question to Vitt.

WRNO is saying it's just NFL attorney's at the hearing, no Goodell (as expected)

@Dawn_nola I'm hearing it's just nfl attorneys
