So we found the Rat:Vilma says former defensive asistant was snitchin

[PortCityProphet]

The latest Jonathan Vilma lawsuit blows the whistle on many things regarding the bounty investigation. It also blows the whistle on the notorious whistleblower.

Though it’s been widely rumored that former Saints defensive assistant Mike Cerullo is the person who resurrected the bounty probe by reaching out to the league office in 2011, Vilma’s civil complaint makes it clear that Vilma believes Cerullo created the present mess.

Vilma also believes that Cerullo is acting out of spite. At paragraph 105 of the complaint, Vilma alleges that the Saints fired Cerullo after he “disappear[ed] from the Club during the 2009 Season and provid[ed] a pretextual excuse that was shown to be inaccurate” and he “disappear[ed] from the Club during the week leading up to the Super Bowl in 2010, again giving a pretextual excuse that was shown to be inaccurate.”


After the Super Bowl win, Cerullo received “a cubic zirconia Super Bowl ring facsimile rather than a genuine Super Bowl ring, for which Cerullo has strenuously and vehemently expressed his resentment.”

At paragraph 106, Vilma alleges that Cerullo “pledged revenge against the Saints,” and particularly against assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt.

At paragraphs 107 and 108, Vilma alleges that the NFL “relied principally upon Cerullo’s statements” during the bounty investigation, and that the disciplinary decisions were based on the results of “multiple interviews” of Cerullo.

At paragraph 109, Vilma claims that Cerullo “retracted his previous claims” during an April 2012 communication with Goodell.

At paragraph 124, Vilma alleges that Cerullo created the notes regarding the persons who pledged money to the Brett Favre bounty “well after the 2009 NFC Championship Game and in an effort to gain revenge against the Saints for terminating his employment.”

If Vilma’s allegations are true, the bounty case against him and the other players has been seriously undermined.

Doesn't matter who "THE RAT" was, the mere fact that Vilma is even saying there was a rat makes it even more legit of an offense.

Vilma's a moron. Even if this dude pledged "revenge" it doesn't matter, they have audio-tape confirming the bounties.

Let it go Aints fans, back into obscurity you go.

 

[Stress Welker]

I just want this entire thing to go away. It has carried on long enough.

Does terminology actually matter?

He's implying that there is a person who is an informant.

All Goodell gotta do is play that Williams audio tape again and that`s all you need to know.

It does matter because "informant" and "whistleblower" have different connotations than "rat."

And Vilma is saying the guy was disgruntled and had other motivations.

We dont know for sure since we havent read the report ourselves, but lets not miconstrue dudes words either.

But the dude could be disgruntled, pissed and vengeful, it still doesn't change the facts.

The facts are the Saints had an illegal bounty system in play. That's a fact. The man who created the bounty system apologized for it, you don't apologize for something you're not guilty of doing.

Williams own words "It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it. Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again.”

Can the Aints fans just stop it now. Move on, get ready for the 6-10 year and Brees still being without a deal
