Is Jonathan Vilma the NFL "escape goat"?

[BrntO4Life]

This isn't a court of law.

This is the key point that KNUBB is somehow forgetting. Laws weren't broken here - just NFL regulations. Therefore, the NFL can make judgments as they see fit.

 

[Villain]

KNUBB reminds me of a Giants fan making excuses for Barry Bonds. Vilma did it. Deal with it.

If I were you, I'd be pissed at him for hurting the team I love.

 

[Cornelius]

Vilma has been a slimeball his entire career. I have zero doubt he put up that $10k for Favre's head.

Cool story.

MORE PLEASE!!!

KNUBB has slipped into hopeless homer territory, here. His posts are flat out ridiculous, bordering on demented.

The idea that Roger Goodell is playing up and exaggerating an embarrassing and disgusting story like bounty hunting is patently ridiculous, and does his league more harm than good. Again, if Goodell wanted to glorify this story, he would have done so two years ago. Instead, he gave the Saints a chance to cut the shit and wanted to sweep it under the rug. But the Saints were so dumb and brain dead, that they defied the commish, lied to him, and kept it going. So KNUBBS lame theory is dead right there.

Also, KNUBB keeps citing "no evidence", despite COACHES AND PLAYERS FROM THE FUCKING TEAM coming clean and admitting what went on.

But hey, the word of a low life like Vilma and wacky conspiracy theories supersede common sense, I guess.

Homer power is strong.

How are you different? You post the same fucking thing in every thread about this! There must be over 200 posts of your stupid opinion that don't matter. I know because I've probably replied to 1/4 of them which makes me feel like I'm wasting my time, but I need to point out how ridiculous your over-opinion is on this. We get it, we understand your point, now kindly shut the fuck up.

In case you've forgotten, I am VSN 2010 POSTER OF THE YEAR and VSN 2011 MARCH MADNESS CHAMPION.

It's not my fault i'm pretty awesome, and my opinion is almost always right. It's your fault that you disagree, because that means you're almost always wrong.

I'm wrong because a messageboard "full of shitty posters", your words not mine, voted you in some poll that 20 people care about. Wow, you are right and your ego isn't retarded. LOL@you, that's fucking pathetic. Put a toga on and go fuck a pizza.

No, I'm really laughing at how seriously you take your MM 2011 Championship. Take that to the bank and watch them laugh at you.

[KNUBB]

I guess I'm the only one who would like to see the evidence? Sue me for it. As far as the whole homer blah blah shit. Cut it out. Still to this day only the businessmen and women are completely appalled at this while the players continue to shrug it off. Many even defending it, but what do they know. There are always 3 sides to a story. Each persons story and the truth. We have only gotten one part of the story, but you idiots are taking it as fact. Homer has absolutely nothing to do with expecting the "evidence" to be available to the open and maintaining judgement for when the ENTIRE STORY is available to everyone. Bet you don't even know half the shit you vote for either. Fucking dumbasses the lot of you. Juts quick to talk down to someone yet look like an imbecile in the process. This rant is the end of my participation in Bounty Gate until the truth is out there.

Statement from the Saints:

Today, Commissioner Goodell apprised us of the severe penalties facing our club, as proposed by the NFL.

We recognize our fans’ concerns and we regret the uncertainty this episode has created for them. We are humbled by the support our organization has received from our fans today in the wake of this announcement, and we ask them to continue to stand with us, as they have done in the past, when both our team and our city have overcome greater adversities.

To our fans, the NFL and the rest of our league, we offer our sincere apology and take full responsibility for these serious violations. It has always been the goal of the New Orleans Saints to create a model franchise and to impact our league in a positive manner. There is no place for bounties in our league and we reiterate our pledge that this will never happen again.

Statement from Gregg Williams:

I’d like to again apologize wholeheartedly to the NFL, Coach Fisher, the entire Rams organization and all football fans for my actions. Furthermore, I apologize to the players of the NFL for my involvement as it is not a true reflection of my values as a father or coach, nor is it reflective of the great respect I have for this game and its core principle of sportsmanship. I accept full responsibility for my actions.

I highly value the 23 years that I’ve spent in the NFL. I will continue to cooperate fully with the league and its investigation and I will focus my energies on serving as an advocate for both player safety and sportsmanship. I will do everything possible to re-earn the respect of my colleagues, the NFL and its players in hopes of returning to coaching in the future.

More from Williams...

I want to express my sincere regret and apology to the NFL, Mr. Benson, and the New Orleans Saints fans for my participation in the ‘pay for performance’ program while I was with the Saints. It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it. Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again.

I guess i'm confused as to what evidence to need to see, when the Saints organization & Williams both admit that the bounty program took place. Why are you in such denial?

Thing is, Saints got a championship out of it.

Thnx

Weak.

Corn's trolling in the NFL forum is much preferred over Corn's actual on-topic postings of "Drew Brees sucks" and "All black QBs should go back to Africa".

I actually like Drew Brees. I think you are confusing me with JE. That's like me confusing you for JTRaines.

I always assumed you were/are JohnnyEcstasy. Is that incorrect?
