Benson meeting with Goodell...

Can't see how this could be bad for us in any way. I think the main topic had to be Vilma since his case has really built up some momentum.
I hope Benson was ultra-diplomatic and gave RG a way to save face while reducing the penalties. No way RG comes out and just says he was wrong.

I think the only way for Goddell to save some face would be for Burbanks to change his initial ruling and declare Vilma's case a salary cap violation, which would make Goddell's actions null. If that happens, then he can say he played it by the letter of the CBA. Then Vilma will probably get 2-4 games suspension.
