Let's be honest, the appeals will mean jack because the players, stupidly, said that Goodell could have the final say in these decisions. I'm just as cheesed off with Goodell as everyone else but there is nothing that will change his mind and the unfairness of it all infuriates me but as there has been little evidence of actual wrongdoing and we still got heavily penalised something tells me it will not matter what is found or isn't found, the NFL will find a way to still make it stick. However, as I don't know your legal system I may be spouting a lot of hooey and someone can be brought in to deal with it but from what it seems, it has already been decided. 50,000 pages of evidence? Probably some stuff scrawled on the back of a cigarette packet...22 of 27 players getting hit? Not really. Just 4 and two of those are elsewhere now. Player safety? No, just covering my butt for the impending lawsuits the NFL will be hit with. Appeal? Did you not hear me the first time? Why are you asking me to review something which I have decided? Go away. Independent arbiters? Sorry, you gave me complete power and I am wielding it with much pleasure. Am I wrong? Probably but who's going to do anything about it? You?

In our legal system godell can not impose suspension, until the civil case, which is for a monetary sum, and the legal case, under the Fair work place Act of 1960's, has completed and their is a verdict.
The appeal to the NFL is useless, and they will only do this to stall for time and build a legal case.
Don't even take notice of the appeals to Godell, thats just a shell game the players know they can not win.

In america if a person is loses a legal trial. Like the one against OJ Simson. The family can still sue OJ after in civil court for money. So, you get 2 shots really.

The Players will sue Godell and the NFL for lost wages, after they bring Godell to court for violation of contract laws. The contract laws and fair work place trial could take years. The NFL is not allowed to suspend anyone until its done, and that could and probably will go to the the supreme court.

and I say that because the Supreme Court tried to stop the agreement the NFL had with the players before, because it is unprecedented in the work place. So, they are already not happy with the agreement, and consider it a constitutional issue.

Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.
