The Saints players simply took the suspension and didn't want to fight it.

No, it's a provision in the laws in MN that were not accounted for in the collective bargaining agreement. Since the Saints are not located in MN, the law does not apply to them.

Another Goodell fuck-up.

These are beginning to mount up.

The Vikings have recourse in the Minnesota State Courts because (although no verdict has been decided at this point) the CBA does not contain language that bypasses applicable State laws. The Vikings have filed suit in Minnesota under those laws. The Federal Court decided that the players have raised reasonable claims under those laws.

The Saints players either have not filed similar litigation OR there are no similar laws in Louisiana.

The real upshot of this is that this should have never gotten to this point. A lawyer at the league's Management Council or its counsel is in serious trouble, if they haven't been let go already. There is nothing mysterious about this matter if conventional language had been used circumventing the court system.

If that was true, why weren't they suspended last year? Or already this year

I thought they served the suspensions last year. Or am I just wrong?

I know at least one of them did. It really doesn't seem fair. It seems like the Vikings got away with another one--along with the poison pill and the Favre tampering charges. Legally, they may have been in the right, but I think common sense leads one to believe that they have been skirting the rules.

I guess MN has jurisdiction even for away games, as the fatties are employed in the state on MN.

Just looked it up and Grant and Smith did not serve the suspension yet. My bad, I thought they did.

There is nothing illegal with the poison pill, and the tampering charges were simply that........ charges, made by a paranoid coach and GM. Just because you were counting the Vikings first round draft pick as your own does not mean tampering took place, and the NFL agreed.

The Packers would like their cellphone back, however. Can you ask Chilly to return it?
