Vitt questions whether bounty evidence has been

 

[J.T.]

Time for Sean Payton to come out with fire and also deny the "pay for injury" claims (which he has, but do it with some passion) and to also state that the "evidence" looks to be a little fishy.

Maybe Roger Goodell needs to tell his people it is time to get their ducks in a row....

I LOL'd when i read " ...And I hope they took good notes!..." Vitt , you are the man! like a pitbull thats ****** off... maybe there's a little " Italian" in him? if you get my drift....

Vitt can speak his mind all he wants. If I remember correctly, his returning from his suspension is not up to approval by Goodell like Paytons, Williams', and Loomis'. Not sure why that is, but it makes it so he can say what he wants. The other three will need Goodell's blessing to return to their jobs, so they are very unlikely to come out and say anything negative about Goodell or the NFL in general.

Personally I hope Payton keeps his mouth shut so as to not jeopardize his reinstatement.

This comment so far is my favorite:

I don’t think anyone is suggesting the NFL falsified any documents. But their informant – possibly Mike Cerullo, who had an axe to grind with the Saints – may have falsified or manufactured documents, and the NFL fell for it. So in the end it was a huge coincidence: the NFL was ready for someone to take the fall with the pending concussion class action, they found a willing informant with a chip on his shoulder, and the saints have this bellicose DC who uses violent language that amounted to a lot of smoke but no fire. The NFL jumped to conclusions based on a shoddy investigation and now they are going to pay for it.

In the end Goodell wins either way.. if he fails Cuerello gets thrown under the bus and he becomes a hero in the eyes of the people when he makes reparations for the problems that were caused..

or he keeps it under wraps.

One of my biggest problems with some of the NFL's supposed evidence is that they re-wrote or re-typed some of the documentation. I'm sorry but if you have proof why in God's name would you re-do any of it. Just show the original, condeming piece of evidence and be done with it. This just blows my mind.

the impending lawsuits that are going to leave them butt-hurt in the concussion litigations...

Sorry, but it's hard for me to imagine a situation, no matter what he does, when Goodell will ever been seen as a hero by Saints fans. And the rest of the world and their opinions can bite me.

I'm no lawyer so I'm curious if in a court-of-law, if something similar was presented, would it stand as circumstantial evidence? Or would the original have to be presented to be considered?

Not only would it not come in without the original (or a photocopy of the original), but I don't think a lawyer would even try to present it in court.

 

[Saint Droopy]

I never understood how anybody can believe everything that they hear from someone that "wants to get back at their former employer". It makes no sense to me. They have a motive for doing the Saints wrong, and the NFL took their "evidence" and ran with it.

The only reason I can think of is the NFL doesn't want the original hand written document out because then, someone can cross reference that to an unrelated document in order to figure out who the source is. What would happen to the NFL's, already tainted, credibility if it comes out that Mike Cerullo supplied the documents?

How many times have you seen on TV news or the paper a document with info they don't want the public to see blacked out? I'm not buying they are protecting ANYONE. I would however buy that it is JUST possible that the evidence didn't say exactly what they needed it to so in re-writing it they did just that: re-wrote it to fit their needs. Whether by leaving part of it off or adding to it, I don't know. But so much "evidence" has already been casted in a bad enough light that I don't put ANYTHING past them anymore!
