Vilma vs the NFL - Your Expectations

The Judge still has an item yet unresolved... The same item that was preventing her from ruling at the last hearing.

Have all the requirements by the dispute resolution process been met?

Just a thought

The whistle blower is already known. His name is Mike Cerullo. He was the defensive quality control coach back in 2009. He was fired for twice taking leave on false premises. Vitt and Gregg Williams were identified as the other "sources", yet both of them have vehemently denied bounties ever existed.

Sentence reduction is the best that could happen. Then there is still some penalty and the NFL only loses some credit.

As much as I'd like to believe Goodell is a bumbling idiot, there's no way he goes to war on the word of a former employee. Do you think Payton & Williams lay down & be quiet because of Cerullo?

I'm not certain what to read into any of it at this point. I agree it has been very quiet lately. As for Benson visiting Goodell who knows what evil lurks in the shadows...if any.

Oh I think he would absolutely. He's got the goods on an office pool. He chose to label it a 'bounty' for the sensationalism he thought it would bring. He never in a million years thought Vilma would take him to court. I guarantee that. He's too arrogant to even have considered the possibility.

Man I hope you're right but I just got a feeling there's more to it. Benson is too powerful and has allies in other owners that are being too quiet about this.
