One thing about this is it really only relieves the players of the SUSPENSIONS...

The decision regarding the Slander case has still not been released... :deadhorse2:

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Can you guys have Vilma pull some strings and get our Cap money back too, since he clearly is a miracle worker. Thanks!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

But as a Saint fan, I'm more concerned with Smith and Vilma playing. The slander case is just dessert (pun intended).

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Tidbit on Vilma...

After having his one-year suspension overturned, Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune expects Jonathan Vilma to be placed on the reserve/PUP list, costing him the first six games.

While it's good news for Vilma that he can resume collecting game checks, there's still no guarantee he'll help the Saints this year. Vilma has undergone three surgeries on his left knee since last November. The 30-year-old didn't participate in any practices or preseason games with the Saints this summer and fall.

Woot! This is great news!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Ohhhhh snap!!! To be a fly on the wall when Godell got this info would have been priceless!!

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Has me thinking about where Vilma is in his injury rehab? Like has been said all offseason, a healthy Vilma, Lofton, Hawthorne is a scary situation for any offense...

edit: papz beat me with the answer...

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Right, I would give anything to see his reaction.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

I'm more excited about Smith being able to play all 16. Vilma was hurt and was gonna miss the 1st half of the season anyway.

It'll be great to have Vilma return fresh for the end of the season.

Re: SUSPENSIONS OVERTURNED
 

Agreed, but would really like to see, ML, SP, JV have some relief as well by leveraging the appeals decisions. Think for that to occur today's decision will have to be released to see if there is a legal way to include them.
