NFL has filed a motion in Second U.S. District Court in Louisiana,to ask Judge Helen Berrigan,to deny a hearing on suspended New Orleans Saints' linebacker Jonathan Vilma's request to expedite his temporary restraining order(TRO),to "rehab" his knee(his words),and to attend training camp,ultimately...
now,Scottie Patton,head trainer for the Saints has filed an affidavit,in support of Vilma,in District Court...
my opinion:with training camp fast approaching,i do really understand Vilma's wanting to be with his doctors,and teammates... that aside,for a moment,Vilma had a legitimate chance to talk to NFL Security,and Commissioner Goodell during his appeal hearing,and after less than a hour,walked out,and protested his own talking points about the process not being fair,a common theme for the four players involved,in the Saints' "bounty" scandal... with only days left,before the Saints go to training camp,Vilma has gone to court,under very bad legal advice from Peter Ginsburg,his attorney,to try to get back into training camp,and on a NFL football field,this upcoming season... chances are very slim,unless he gets into training camp on time,because being in shape,and being in football shape,are two totally different horses,altogether(if you know what i mean)... Vilma has acted simply like he is above the NFL,and the ultimate victim,claiming the NFL,and Commissioner Goodell has ruined and tainted his reputation,but Jonathan you have only have one person to blame,besides your diva attorney,and that is the person in your bathroom mirror-you,and you alone... you may believe that the NFL has ruined your reputation,but honestly,it is the NFL three year investigation into the Saints' "bounty" scandal,and that includes many other items,besides your big mouth,which you can not just shut your mouth up,because honestly,Jonathan you are digging yourself,into a big hole,that not even your enormous talent can get you out of,because the NFL has a:very deep pockets,and b:a very long memory,and if you play through the rest of your current contract,one BIG question:what NFL team is going to want you to play football for them? Jonathan,you have a big problem,your big mouth has told NFL owners that you may not worth it:to bring in a loud mouthed "superior" diva to supplement their talent,and unfortunately your enormous talent will not be the first thing that embarrassed NFL owners will think of,when they think of you... by the way,if you think that you are a Hall of Fame caliber player,well,the committee that votes you into the Hall,takes into effect your outside of football character,into their vote... remember one Alex Karras,of the Detroit Lions,who got suspended for gambling allegations,along with Paul Hornung,of the Green Bay Packers,for an entire year... Hornung got into the Hall of Fame,by apologizing,and being contrite,about what happened... Karras never has gotten in(so far),and probably never will get into the Hall of Fame... so,Jonathan,i would tell your attorney to basically shut up,and do the same,because the hole that you are digging is very deep,and you better realize that the NFL,and the people who cover it,have been embarrassed by this sordid,and rather disgusting episode,and they have a very long memory... remember Alex Karras,take your lumps,and simply shut your mouth...
