Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

That's good news for Cam.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

As he should have. It was BS all along.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Nope.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

As I said before, disciplining or even attempting to discipline a worker for reporting a workplace injury violates a very specific OSHA regulation that applies to every employer. Having won this appeal and demonstrated the injury was real, Jordan should now report the league office to OSHA for their discipline.

Rhetorical question... in case it didn't come through. ;) :bng:

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Rhetorical answer. :D

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

So, he wins his appeal and gets a tweet about it instead of the usual grilling on TV about dirty play from the New Orleans Saints. I certainly hope that Dennis Allen, Pete Carmichael, and the New Orleans Saints get their money back from their fines as well. There needs to be some kind of apology from the NFL. Of course, we know that will never come.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

The fact that Cam got his overturned pretty much guarantees the others will as well. The others can't get fined for Jordan faking an injury if they have just admitted that Jordan didn't fake an injury.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

So what about the officials/referees that may have been involved ... will they face the firing line?

/sarcasm
Yet another rhetorical question that needs no answer in any form.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Meanwhile, the rest of the team still has to pay? WTF!

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

That isn't what the article says, Smash. It said their appeal goes through a different process. One would expect that it weighed heavily on the result of the player appeal.

Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan was outraged after the NFL fined him for faking an injury, and it appears that the NFL’s appeals process has vindicated him.

Jordan won the appeal of the $50,000 fine the NFL gave him, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The incident took place during the Saints’ loss to the Buccaneers in December. With the Bucs initially seeming to hurry to line up to go for it on a fourth down, Jordan went down to the ground and got an injury timeout. After that, the Buccaneers punted, and the league office thought Jordan had faked the injury so that the Saints’ defense could get ready if the Bucs went for it on fourth down.

Jordan ’s position coach, Ryan Nielsen, also was fined $50,000, Saints head coach Dennis Allen was fined $100,000, and the Saints as a franchise was fined $350,000. It’s unclear whether those fines remain in place; the appeals process for players is separate from the process for coaches and teams.

The NFL has legitimate reasons to want to crack down on fake injuries, which players do sometimes use to their teams’ advantage. But in this case, Jordan fought back and won.

Good. Now awaiting a formal and embarrassing for the NFL and RG public apology .

RG needs to be fined $1000000 for this tomfoolery . And the Saints need to be compensated a #1 draft pick for the stain RG has inflicted.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Might as well ask for a bye into next year's NFC Championship game while you're at it, Smash. :D

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Not a bad idea... It's beyond time for RG to feel the consequences of his really bad decisions, not that any of us are in any way holding our breaths.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Just can't help but love you, Smash.

:D

[quote=halloween 65;968002]Not sure what you are trying to say here, halloween? The other's fines were overturned just as I suggested shorty thereafter. :confused:

Don't piss off Gayle. LOL!

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Good for her... Now go get RG for the Miami meddling and get us an extra #1.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Okay, this is cool from Dennis and Alisson Allen.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Tax write off... but good for the Allens anyway.

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Yup. When you are making as much coin as Allen you have to look for deductions. :D

Re: Cam Jordan Wins Appeal
 

Win/Win.

I hope Cam Jordan trolls Roger Goodell.
