"Mr. Vilma, the state bar forbids me from promising you a big cash settlement. But just between you and me, I promise you a big cash settlement." Seriously though, I'll be shocked if Vilma is successful in what seems at first glance to be a very ill-advised crusade.

Jeff Fisher apparently has no intention of replacing Gregg Williams, the Rams' recently hired and now indefinitely suspended defensive coordinator, who was a key figure in the Saints' bounty program. Among Fisher's statements were (1) that he was unaware of the bounty program and (2) that Williams was unaware that the program was being investigated when he signed with the Rams. Also, ''Never, at any time, as far as I've been with [Williams], has he disrespected this game from the standpoint of you try to hurt somebody on purpose. He has a passion for this game and a passion for playing hard-nosed, aggressive defense." Fisher and Williams worked together in Tennessee.
