So I say again: the NFL does not have a bounty problem, but a Goodell problem.

I’m a big Saints fan. Have been my entire life. But, to be honest with you all of this is starting to get funny. And, I can’t figure out why I find this so ammusing.

Now that the NFL Bounty Box is open we all get to see how the investigation done by Goodell’s professional staff lacked credibility.

The league seemingly was so determined all evidence would be destroyed, I should have known it really meant it’s all about to get leaked. Nobody was warned before they burned all the evidence from Spygate, they just done it.

Isn’t this the same John Barr that broke the “news” about Loomis wiretapping visiting teams? How did that play out again?

You’ll understand if I refuse to give any creedence to anything with that hack’s name on it.

Keep trying, Roger. We’re laughing at the pathetic fighter who keeps staggering all over the canvas because he’s too stupid to just lay down and take the 10 count.

What’s that stuff a bull expels from its anus called? This sure smells a lot like that.

Judging by his grammar, he wasn’t much of one. No wonder the Saints fired him.

Ha, contrast the tone, poor grammar and misspellings in the email with the current letter. Think a lawyer wrote this one? Geez

I also think Cerullo had help writing this email. After reading his first email to Aiello, I have a hard time believing this was writte by him alone. Hell, he actually used a semicolon in the email to Tags.

Lastly, there seems to be an awful lot of leaks coming from the NFL Park Ave offices in the last year. Stuff like this never happened from previous commissioners.

Mike,

Whistleblowers are usually disgruntled. That is why they are blowing the whistle. Their motives may be less than pure, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t telling the truth. Many of the biggest cases in the history of this country have been made possible because of whistleblowers. Frankly, I can sympathize with Cerullo feeling like he and his family are being attacked throughout this saga. Because they have been. Peter Ginsberg has done his best to use you to attack him for the last 5 months.

Funny how things get leaked by the NFL offices so quickly. Vitt called it spot on.

Cerullo sending that e-mail to Aiello trying to sell his insider info on the bounty scandal was a really bad idea on so many levels. If had sincere concerns about wrongdoing and wanted to blow the whistle, the appropriate time was during the initial investigation. This guy was trying to serve up the Saints to ensure himself a job. Even if he was telling the truth, all he's done is ensure he'll never work in the league again.

Spellcheck might be a “bounty” for him too…….

Let’s just say none of this happened, and bounties are bad.

What a mess.

Spelling and grammar indicate two different people wrote those letters.

Why would Cerullo send Tags a letter now? What would Tags do with that letter, send an apology?

“Having people tell vicious lies about me has not been easy for me and my family.”

He’s looking for a payout or ammunition to sue the league for releasing his name.

Seriously what else could it be?

IMO Vitt’s correct about Cerullo being a idiot.

Isn’t Barr the guy that was poking around the Saints for any kind of dirt after this “bounty” thing came to light? He’s the one that broke the eavesdropping scandal, right? Dude is desperate for a story and he seems like the journalism world’s equivalent to an ambulance chaser. Total scumbag…

Joe Vitt is a seer. A visionary. Either that, or he knows the way the NFL works and can predict their next move like clockwork. Roger Goodell and his entire spin team needs to be sent packing before the NFL has to endure the indignity of sending their ‘leadership’ to deal with the scorned Saints fans over Super Bowl weekend. And if you think this isn’t going to be a special time in New Orleans, let me remind you, the Super Bowl is right smack dab in the middle of Mardi Gras. That just means instead of a two week drunk, it will be a three week drunk. You ever deal with a bunch of Cajuns who have been drunk for three weeks? I bet you haven’t.

These are the NFL’s “credible” witnesses. And you people wonder why Saints fans view the whole thing as a sham.

Perhaps he can explain this GLARING contradiction in what happened to the supposed ‘bounty cash’:

From Cerullo’s affadavit filed in May:
“I personally collected the money that Mr. Vilma left on a table at the front of the room and subsequently gave it to Mr. Williams for safekeeping.”

Compare this to what the AP says about his testimony in the leaked portion of the transcripts:
“Cerullo testified that league investigators misrepresented what he told them, and that, during the playoffs following the 2009 regular season, he kept track of large playoff pledges on note pads but didn’t collect the money.”

Got your story straight yet, Cerullo? Prepared to testify under penalty of jail? Prepared to take lie detector like Vitt is?
