Knowles issued a compromise order in which only th

before a subsequent order is made on whether to allow discovery to
proceed.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said league officials have already discussed
the order with Knowles and have agreed to comply.
The order comes a day after Vilma re-filed Authentic Carolina Panthers Jerseys
a related lawsuit in the same New Orleans federal court asking for his
season-long suspension to be overturned. That lawsuit also has argued
that the NFL has failed to fully disclose its evidence in the bounty
investigation.
The NFLPA filed a similar request on behalf of three other current or
former derek anderson jersey
Saints players suspended in the probe: Saints defensive end Will Smith
(four games), free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove (seven
games) and Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita (one game).
The players' lawsuits contend that Goodell is incapable of acting as a
neutral arbitrator in the bounty matter, in large part because his http://www.panthers-jerseys-store.com/shop-by-player-derek-anderson-jersey-c-1_9.html
public statements soon after the NFL's investigation was made public
last March indicated that he already had determined the guilt of the
players before the disciplinary process began.
Vilma, who has his own lawyers, and the NFLPA also contend that the bulk
of witness testimony in the bounty probe came from Youth Cam Newton Elite Black Jersey
former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and former Saints
defensive assistant Mike Cerullo. They both have provided the NFL with
sworn declarations backing allegations that the Saints had a pool that
rewarded defensive players with cash for hits that injured opponents,
and that Vilma offered $10,000 to anyone who knocked Women's Cam Newton Elite White Jersey
then-Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre out of the 2009-10 NFC
title game.
Attorneys for the punished players say those two witnesses lack
credibility because Williams is suspended indefinitely and his
reinstatement hinges on his cooperation, and because Cerullo was fired
by the Saints and had a vendetta against the club. |
