Jonathan Vilma Quotations

Some things were said to individuals and some things were said in groups. It was friendly, but there was meaning behind it. It's never always going to be smooth sailing, but it's time to be winners again.

In this business, nobody is going to feel sorry for you. You have to create your own luck.

One thing I want to see is guys under me and who played with me be very successful. I work out at Miami and when I'm down there I'll tell them things I know and give them tips to get that little edge to be successful. When it comes down to it we're a family, so when the Hurricanes are playing well I'm happy. When I was at Miami I had Nate Webster and Micheal Barrow help me out. That creates a great atmosphere and I want to help others out.

I never paid, or intended to pay, $10,000, or any amount of money, to any player for knocking Kurt Warner, Brett Favre or any other player out of the 2009 Divisional playoff game, 2010 NFC Championship Game or any other game.

I never set out to intentionally hurt any player and never enticed any teammate to intentionally hurt another player. I also never put any money into a bounty pool or helped to create a bounty pool intended to pay out money for injuring other players.
