New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday to discuss his suspension that was temporarily lifted.
In Monday's meeting, the NFL gave Vilma a sworn affidavit from former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams that the New Orleans linebacker offered $10,000 to any teammate who knocked quarterback Brett Favre out of the January 2010 NFC Championship Game, a source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

In the same affidavit, Williams confirmed the Saints had a pay-for-performance pool funded by the Saints players, the source said.

Williams, according to the source, said he knew the pool violated league rules, but they never had the intent to injure or commit any on-field misconduct, they never rewarded any conduct that the refs flagged as a penalty, and any penalized conduct -- such as roughing the passer, or an illegal hit, was penalized -- not encouraged -- and the player responsible had to pay money into the pool

The source also said that Williams admitted he was not forthcoming with the league when it first approached him about the issue in 2010.

Yeah, that's huge, especially with how brutal their secondary is.

I dunno, the way Cutler rolled off his shoulder like that, I'd say Webb was trying to block him

It's been a while since I've been this excited about a sports game. I expect a close one

Go Broncos!

Denver's offense looks brutal. Two possessions so far, two picks

Man 2 interceptions for manning on first two possessions. That 2nd one was a terrible throw, he looks rattled.

I was hoping for a better start. Need the defense to step up.

Love Tirico and Gruden combo!

So happy with this start from the Falcons! The safeties are ball hawks.

Awful throws....his ball is like a wounded duck at times. Wonder if his neck is acting up?
