METAIRIE, La. (AP) - Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt says
witnesses in the NFL's bounty investigation of New Orleans' pay-for-pain
system have lied about him and the organization and that their stories
might change in federal court.
Vitt angrily said Thursday he feels the truth will
come out in federal court, where the punishment for perjury can be jail
time. He also once again vehemently denied that he kept the system going
after the NFL began its investigation.
Vitt's comments come a day after transcripts
obtained by The Associated Press showed former Saints defensive
coordinator Gregg Williams testified during NFL appeal hearings that he
tried to stop the Saints' cash-for-hits program, only to be overruled by
Vitt.
Those same transcripts show Vitt denied Williams' allegation and offered to take a lie detector test.
