BREAKING: A 3-member appeals panel has overturned the player suspensions in the Saints bounty case, says a source. Details coming.
quote:

Gabe Feldman ?@SportsLawGuy

Appeals panel has vacated suspensions of Bounty 4 and remanded case back to commish for a redetermination of appropriate penalties

Gabe Feldman ?@SportsLawGuy

Panel finds that bounty conduct both constituted payment in violation of CBA and payment with intent to injure other players.

Gabe Feldman ?@SportsLawGuy

Commish only has jurisdiction to punish for the "intent to injure" part of the misconduct so must reconsider case.


Only 1 hours 30 mins fellas

Let's hope we have some good news

I'll be checking twitter frequently and will posting any and all updates here

Another good link on the story:

Is this a "should we" thread?

Alright maybe the official was a little much but hey it's a big day.
Even if Vilma isn't ready to come back right away, getting Smith back for game 1 is pretty huge

I've got no problem with it. People do it all the time. I've done it myself.

As long as you take the responsibility that goes along with the title you're fine. You better have brought your lunch today and don't plan to leave us hanging.

@ProFootballTalk: Judge Berrigan believes NFLPA lawyer may have conflict of interest in bounty case LINK

I'm wondering how this new thinking is going to affect things. I tend to think it would make her lean towards wanting to help the players more considering she is making it sound like they are getting screwed because of this stand off between the NFL and the PA

Either she's covering her arse by calling them out before ruling in their favor, or she's pissed that they didn't even try to talk and are putting everything on her. I think the 2nd is more likely but would she really not do what she thinks is right just because the Union didn't waste their time on pointless settlement talks? I don't think Vilma will accept anything less than a complete reversal of the penalties and having Goodell present himself before the Saints, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse. There will be no settlement.

Did you guys see the Tripplet phone interview on ESPN last night? The guy doing the interview kept asking questions as if it was beyond reason that CSP thought they were innocent. Kind of amusing.

Maybe change the title of the thread to something like "Official Ruling on Vilma/Smith Suspension".

Not sure if Berrigan Watch is going to stop people from starting threads.

Honestly, if there is some kind of ruling that allows Smith and Vilma to play this year, I don't care if every thread on Saints Talk is about it. I would just be happy and excited.
