And in the other team that should be disqualified from football for a major off-season scandal this year, their next day in court!

Back to BountyGate for a bit, as Johnathan Vilma and seven witnesses went before a judge in a seven-hour hearing to get the Federal judge to issue an injunction to prevent Roger Goodell from suspending the Saints' players (current and former) and coaches for BountyGate.

Let's be honest and up-front here.  If Vilma, et. al., win in the courts:

• Goodell is gone.  If the owners don't do it, the courts will.
• The Player Safety Initiative and basically all other associated disciplinary powers go with it.
• There probably would have to be an immediate re-do (ordered by the court) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
• And then there's the concussion lawsuits...

"Everything I've worked for has been basically thrown down the toilette," Vilma said, according to ESPN.

If I were Commissioner, I'd send your Super Bowl ring down with it.  You basically are going to have to try to convince a judge that an outside party basically needs to intervene in and take over the central affairs of the NFL.

I would strip the Saints of that Super Bowl and their ability to play this season.  Going forward, that team probably gets moved to Los Angeles under new ownership, with a golden parachute to Tom Benson for his cooperation.

(If no NFC team has enough stadium issues, I see the latter happening anyway.)

Vilma, until you can prove this is all a lie, you're on the 53 Players Who Have No Place in the NFL for Bounty-Gate.  That's how little taste I have for your creative interpretation of terms and all that when the video does not lie (and I'm looking at you, Kevin Hassett and Stan Veuger of the Los Angeles Times -- who attempted, in an Op-Ed on July 15, 2012 and a response on July 21 (both of which I am now certain are behind a pay-wall) that there were no observable injuries caused by the bounty program).

OH REALLY?

Kurt Warner's career ended on this hit -- helmet comes in after the shoulder..

Brett Favre was never the same after the Saints spent the entire NFC Championship Game trying to cripple the man.

No observable injuries, eh?

PLEASE TRY AGAIN!
