the "bounty" appeal hearings ended with acrimony,among suspended New Orleans Saints' linebacker Jonathan Vilma,and suspended Cleveland Browns' defensive end Scott Fujita,who both acted like prima donnas,and divas,when they walked out of the appeal hearings,and simply blasted Commissioner Roger Goodell,and NFL security,for a "flawed" investigation... new evidence was pointed out to the media,and a new unknown fact was uncovered that,among the players,and coaches that not $10,000,but a total of $35,000,was pledged,to knock Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Brett Favre,out of the 2009 NFC Championship game,between the Saints,and the Vikings,and there is audio,and video,of assistant coach(now interim head coach-suspended six weeks,i may add)Joe Vitt telling the defensive players that Favre may have broken his leg,and suspended Green Bay Packers' defensive end Anthony Hargrove saying,"give me my money"... supposedly,the NFL got some of the evidence,off of a computer hard drive,and testimony from disgraced Saints' defensive coordinator Gregg Williams,and suspended(for first six weeks of 2012-2013 NFL season)interim Saints' head coach Joe Vitt...
now for the players involved,especially Vilma,and Fujita,who still claim that they have not received a fair hearing,and shown any evidence,and what evidence that they were shown,was misinterpreted,and simply wrong,with Vilma,calling it,"a sham" of a hearing,and Fujita calling it "a shame"... both have said that the NFL,and Commissioner Goodell,have tried to destroy their hard-earned reputations,and both accused the NFL,of tarnished their images,inside,and outside the NFL... my opinion:the Saints' organization and the players involved have done something wrong,and now the players involved are acting like big whiners,saying that they should not be suspended for their actions,or they have not been shown any evidence,and they simply deny their actions... what irks me that there are some Saints' teammates,who actually stand up for the coaches,and for the players involved... football is a team game... the players,and coaches involved,along with the Saints' organization,simply have forgotten that major,but little,fact in this very disgusted,and sordid tale... expect a court fight,because Jonathan Vilma,and Scott Fujita will not go quietly,into that good night... Vilma simply being so irate that i really expect that from him... there is a possibility that all four players may play this season,because simply expect a federal court injunction,to prohibit the NFL,from suspending the players... do not be surprised,if Vilma,and the players try to get the court injunction,because simply said,this is far from over,knowing how really nasty this fight has become,period...
