Oh c'mon people this isn't over by a long shot. The players, however, just won a very big round however. Party on!

I just go the news from a coworker.. Does this mean WILL SMITH can play also???? ....THERE IS A GOD!!!! (and its not dusche-bag godell)

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

next week, Roger will make a statement: "I've looked over my 50,000 pages of evidence and the time fits the crime. Suspensions reinstated!" :rolleyes:

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Great news fellahs .... as stated earlier, time to get our coaches back and our draft picks. It has now snowballed into an PR nightmare for the league. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the outcome today was predetermined behind the scenes as a way for RG to save face, somehow. I want to see and enjoy all of the sportswriters eat crow!

TWO DAT!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Correct; Sir!

Smith can and will play and Vilma can attend the game and start rehabbing and learning the playbook with the Saints staff...

I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl but something like this can still happen

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

He has to prove that there was intent to injure. We're back to that - which is what's it been all along, and up to now he has be unwilling (more likely unable) to produce any evidence to prove it.

It gets interesting now for sure (not that it wasn't already). Roger is GOING TO HAVE to produce this mystery evidence OR he's going to have to eat a great big turd burger and shut the hell up.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

This is the reason they HAD to rule today...

Members of the appeals panel did not speak publicly, but it's likely they felt compelled to rule quickly after hearing the union's argument last week. If it had waited beyond this week and ruled in favor of the players, it could have been argued that the players had been irreparably harmed. Not only would they have lost out on a Week 1 game check, but also their salaries would not have been guaranteed for the season. Salaries for vested veterans are guaranteed if they're on the Week 1 roster.

Defamation lawsuits can be a biatch to pay for RG and ESPN!

Smith and Jordan are our starting DE's against RGIII this Sunday! :banana:
