All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The lawsuit, Vilma v. Goodell, was filed in United States District Court in New Orleans. It says, “Goodell, speaking publicly about certain Saints executives, coaches and players, in relation to purported efforts designed to injure players, made public statements concerning Vilma which were false, defamatory and injurious to Vilma’s professional and personal reputation.”
Vilma is seeking an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages for Goodell’s “willful and wanton misconduct.”

The next time a player gets fined or suspended for a "drity hit" or "misconduct" or "failed drug test" is going to sue the league for defamation.
Great.
There's a HUGE difference. I'd assume Vilma wouldn't pursue a case here if he was as much at fault as Goodell is suggesting. But a player getting suspended for a dirty hit, there's evidence, everyone sees it...as of right now there's no proof out there publicly as to why Vilma got a year and Fujita 3 games. Why the huge disparity?

If there's no smoking gun, do you honestly think Goodell would suspend a player for a whole year based on "gut feel"? Vilma knows what he did and did not do, and he's bluffing Goodell I think.
