Oh snap! Can we afford Vilma? His salary didn't count against the cap this year, now it does.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

While this does not directly affect the coaches and GM, I think this does give Benson more ammo to go back to Goodell and ask again to reduce their suspensions. There were clearly rules broken, but my position all along regarding the suspensions has been that they are too harsh and don't fit the crimes.

Hopefully, this will deflate his enormous ego enough to at least consider it.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Oh, and this is best for Hargrove. What team was going to pick him up knowing he was going to miss 8 games? Could have been a career killer.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Coaches are nailed on 'conduct unbecoming' and admitted to it.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Gotta make some cap space! CRAP!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Loomis will make it work.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Reduce Payton's suspension in half...

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

The media sure sounds like they have changed their viewpoint quickly...

Sure is a bunch of "this has been ocurring for decades in the NFL"...

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

I am going to drink myself stupid tonight in celebration :cheers:

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Do we have to make cap space? Smiths has always been in tact and not sure Vilmas was vacated yet... Then again what happens if he goes in IR?

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

I read Vilma only adds 1.5 mill to our cap, which we're currently 8 mill under!!!

Awesome day!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Awesome news, is there a good chance the coaches sentences would be reduced?

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

@AlbertBreer - NFL has reinstated Jonathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Scott Fujita and Will Smith for this weekend's games.

!!!!!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

I'm starting a second line at work. Where's my umbrella?

Re: BREAKING- SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED???
 

Maybe it was this!!!!
:nutkick:

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Morale is a dangerous thing. Smith just got a can of octane dropped on a fading ember. He's going to impact the game this weekend.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Ya think? It just added 6 dB to the deafening dome audiorgasm

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Just to put out a link for the situation.

Vilma, Hargrove, Smith, Fujita suspensions overturned on appeal - NFL.com

Still a bunch of HATERS posting, but many getting bashed for not knowing what actually occurred.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Just came home from work and saw this great news. God the Superdome will be on fire this Sunday.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Now the season is really on! Vilma is fresh and ready to go. WHO DAT!!!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

All the Vikings/Clowns/Bucs fans.. I am following the PFT comments and all of the disappointment/trash talk is coming from people with "purple" or "TB" in their handles.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

NFL will honor decision of appeals panel | ProFootballTalk
The first reaction by many after news broke of the ruling of the panel that overturned the bounty suspensions imposed on the players was this: “What if the NFL refuses to let the players the play?”

That question has been answered. The NFL will reinstate the players, immediately.

“Consistent with the panel’s decision, Commissioner Goodell will, as directed, make an expedited determination of the discipline imposed for violating the league’s pay-for-performance/bounty rule,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. “Until that determination is made, the four players are reinstated and eligible to play starting this weekend.”

The appeals panel overturned the suspensions earlier today, explaining that it’s not clear whether Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision infringes on the exclusive jurisdiction of the “System Arbitrator” over salary-cap violations. The cases (as to the players) now go back to Goodell, requiring him to basically start the process from scratch.

In the end, the same decision may be made. Until then, this one will be perceived as a major victory for the Saints and the players suspended by Goodell.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

That's expected; the haters are the ones which were hurt the most from the decision...

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

This is great news! I would of loved to see Goodell's reaction when he found that out. It will be real interesting to see what Payton, Loomis and Vitt do with this ruling. Who Dat!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Oh damn! :rolleyes:

Pat Kerwin via nfl Sirius: Vilma salary is not a problem.we have plenty room.

This may not be over.... And I would rather lose Smith the first 4 than any other 4 games.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

I haven't been this excited since Porter picked off Manning.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

F*CK YEAH!!!! Dear Roger Goodell, you may no longer use our team to try and cover up your previous lack of concern over concussions and other football injuries.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Roger's face must be more red than molten lava right now. All I can offer him is simmer down now.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
