NEW ORLEANS -- A federal magistrate judge has ordered NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to provide the court with documents related to the leagues bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints. Cheap Jerseys USA . The order by Magistrate Daniel Knowles on Tuesday came in response to suspended linebacker Jonathan Vilmas efforts to initiate the discovery process in his defamation case against the commissioner. Vilma has said the NFL has allowed him to review only a fraction of documents related to bounty matter. Knowles issued a compromise order in which only the court, and not Vilma, may see the documents -- including reports of interviews with witnesses -- 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 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 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 public statements soon after the NFLs 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 former Saints defensive co-ordinator 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 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 co-operation, and because Cerullo was fired by the Saints and had a vendetta against the club. All four of the players are technically eligible to play this weekend because their appeals of their suspensions within the framework of the NFLs labour agreement are pending. Goodell has scheduled their appeal hearings for Oct. 23 and could rule soon afterward. In the meantime, the players are hoping U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan will ultimately issue a ruling that voids Goodells decision to suspend the players and order a neutral arbitrator to handle any further discipline in the matter.

It rhymes with rowdy and is pronounced blau-dee. But the Bombers simply call him T, after his middle initial. The son of Edwin and Patience Dorzon, who came to the United States from Liberia, Dorzon doesnt know the origin of his first name. "I get asked that every day," he said. "Ill make sure I get it for you next time." Signed as a free agent in 2011, Dorzon has seen action only in pre-season games. But the Bombers liked him enough to keep him on the practice roster after he was cut this season. It proved to be a wise move when starting running back Chris Garrett went down in practice Tuesday with a season-ending torn Achilles tendon. Chad Simpson, who would normally step in, is still recovering from his own much less serious injury. Dorzon will start his first CFL regular-season game Friday in Vancouver against the Grey Cup-champion B.C. Lions. The Bombers cant say yet when Simpson might return and have also moved Calgary native Anthony Woodson into the backup tailback role for Fridays game. But patiently waiting for a chance to play football was easy for Dorzon compared to what hes had to overcome in his life. He has three brothers and five living sisters. He lost another sister, Watchee, in 2004. He said she was murdered and he has her name tattooed on his right arm. "Thats the hardest thing in life, to lose my sister, she was my best friend," he said. "If I can go through that, I can go through anything." Dorzon is just fivee foot eight but hes a muscular 197 pounds. Cheap Jerseys Sale. His biceps look almost as big around as his waist, yet he runs the 40-yard dash in less than 4.5 seconds. "Ts an explosive powerful runner with a low centre of gravity and certainly can break tackles," said head coach Paul LaPolice. "Were excited about him getting the chance to play. "Like I told the players two days ago, injuries happen, everybody in this room has got to be accountable to help us win a football game." A little shy at first and nervously playing with a football while he speaks, Dorzon proves eloquent enough when he opens up about what this chance means to him. He more than hinted at that Tuesday night when he tweeted "Believe me when I say this, IM READY." "I tweeted that because I am," he said. "Ive been working hard every day in the off-season doing two-a-days, three-a-days, training my body to carry this weight, to get fast, to get stronger, to make my hands better. "Ive got my opportunity so Im going to take advantage of it." The 27-year-old native of New Carrolton, Md., played at Lackawanna Junior College in Scranton, Pa., and spent two years at Jackson State in Mississippi. Hes also had his own experience with season-ending injuries. At Jackson, he broke his ankle six games into the 2008 season but came back in 2009 by rushing for 478 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. "That time off, just not being able to be out there on the field, you know, made me really love football even more," he said. After the devoutly religious education major graduated, he earned a tryout with the NFLs Tennessee Titans in 2010. ' ' '
