Roger Goodell: No apology to Saints' bounty players and no shame for misjudgement & punishments

12-28-2012, 02:27 PM

I think this has been orchestrated as a smoke and mirrors cover up with Tags. The NFL still gets something to use in the class action suits, Roger gets to save face by losing only a little skin, and the league gets the bounty parade out of the way since it was such an eyesore. Vilma is still mucking up the works, but if he gets traction he will likely be given a lucrative settlment to make it go away.

Vilma has already stated that he is not doing this for money. He wants to force the truth out into the public eye. He will not accept any kind of settlement.

That's fine, we're not sorry for saying all those bad things about you either, Roger.

RG is such a wanker.

This just in. A person in the league office, who requests to remain anonymous, has confirmed that the office has contacted the Vatican as to the availability of the Popemobile for the week of February 3rd, 2013 and has asked that it be delivered to New Orleans if available. There is also rumor that the office has inquired of the Pentagon as to the services of the Marine Corp for the same dates, but that rumor, according to the source, has been denied.

Slightly off topic but you can seen how the leagues likes to save face with the Richard Sherman case.He was acquitted on a technicality on the PED use.The cup used for the urine test leaked and was transferred into another cup but this was not documented and only admitted to later.Sherman gets off with a potential ban and the same day and he wins his case the NFL `Randomly selects Sherman for another test.
This isnt me defending Sherman but its another instance of the league making the rules up as they go along.
