Goodell woulsnt have Pursued it.  We're talking a woman who has zero interest in lying here.  She's a successful attorney already.  You're assuming one HUGE thing and that's....Goodell as well as an entire team of investigators and outside legal counsil and inside legal counsil all gathered evidence and then found out it wasn't good enough and still conspired to charge the players and lie about it.  Fans had no recollection of the investigation in 2010 and if the Saints were NEVER nailed, none of us would have known about it.  Pay-for-performanc DOES happen frequently...the Packers got busted for it in 2007...but pay-for-injure does not.You're also taking Jonathan Vilma, a guy who had a bounty program at Miami U, at his word.  I don't get that at all.</blockquote>
