and that statement there, blaming the Saints coaches and players for their own questionable evidence, makes me even more glad Goddell lost here. He got his facts wrong when he quoted several players, who testified under oath that there was no bounty.

I do believe Williams is guilty, however he overstepped his authority in regards to players. The NFL will be a better place w/o Goddell.
