He was the one that complained last week for being taken out last week but he claimed he wasn't injured this may get interesting.
just heard on WFAN
Very strange indeed.
On Thurdsay Mike and the Mad Dog were discussing the situation on WFAN, and Mike said that he had heard that after the MRI it was considered a serious injury, although there were no details on what the injury was (strange in itself). Mad Dog was also piqued at Vilma for saying he had no injuries to force his benching, and obviously he was dissembling. He also went on to say that Vilma was unreliable and that he had misled him in an interview before.
I think that Vilma is very anti-Mangini and is trying to destabilize his position. It sounds like the IR is either the prelude to a trade of Vilma or dismissal of Mangini.
Here's what I think happened. This makes sense.
Vilma has a chronic type injury condition which he can play through and which MAY have required post season surgery (or so he thought).
Mangina is sick of him, pulled him, forced him to get the MRI, it came back "positive" for the slight injury he has (but could play through). Vilma says he WASN'T pulled for an injury, which from his point of view is right. He was pulled (from his point of view) because Mangina wanted to pull him. The injury is just an excuse.
He gets put on IR thus Mangina gets rid of him, and that's all there is to it.
Good luck getting FA's to sign there next year.
