New Orleans Saints players, through union, ask NFL for more evidence Monday
Full Story – Nola.Com
The NFLPA has written another letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asking for additional evidence to be made available at Monday's appeal hearing, and saying the union believe a culture of fear is blocking the testimony next week from witnesses potentially beneficial to the suspended players appeal.
In particular, the NFLPA says it believes the NFL is in possession of videotapes made throughout the 2010 season by Duke Naiphon, a physical/sleep therapist who is friends with former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Naiphon, who was interviewed at length by NFL investigators, has contended from the moment the bounty scandal broke in March that the entire matter has been misconstrued.
Naiphon believes - and most players have taken the same position - that the fiery language for which Williams is well known in professional football was a motivational tactic, not some diabolical plot to hurt opposing players.
