What's the point of even trying to use loss of game time as a punishment? Seems like the players win every appeal, unless you're a Saint...

A one-game suspension would have cost Goldson in the neighborhood of $265,000.

So he saves $165K by appealing the suspension (not counting legal and agent fees involved). The NFL is nothing short of a total JOKE.

There are no fees associated with an NFL appeal unless it goes to Court like BG.

The Union provides all of that.

I think Brook's fine is on its way! I suspect $40-50K.

I certainly don't like seeing Brees getting levelled like that, but that was a crappy call. I'd have been pissed if our D got called for the same hit.

I agree, there was no intent on that hit, both guys crouched down at impact. The Adrian Clayborn hit with his shoulder first and Drew's head made contact after. The fact that it was really fast and that Drew was blindsided made it look worse.
