  • Williams boys CAN be suspended

    Another tangled StarCaps ruling created more uncertainty Thursday for Vikings defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams, who moved closer to being suspended for the first four games of the 2010 season. Hennepin County Judge Gary Larson…

    Do you think that if this suspension goes forward that it will in any way affect Lord Favre's decision?
    Chris: Dad, what's the blow-hole for?
    Peter: I'll tell you what it's not for, son. And when I do, you'll understand why I can never go back to Sea World.

        Looks like they are appealing this ruling so it may well drag on another year or more. It looks like they will drag this thing out until the older Williams retires.
        And the younger Williams retires.
        And the new stadium is built.
        And the new stadium gets so old it needs replacing.
        And BF retires (maybe).

          Just hold your horses. There is going to be an appeal.

            The Vikings window is right now, and after this year I think it could close fast. They don't have a whole lot of young ascending talent and a lot of their best talent is either aging or at best, plateauing. It's now or never for the Vikings. It's to their benefit to keep appealing. Ultimately, I think this is just a matter of when they're suspended, not if they're suspended.

              Is the appeal guaranteed to be heard or could the State appeals court refuse to hear it? If it's guaranteed then that probably means a long, slow process. But if it could be rejected outright then there is still hope that they will be made to serve the suspension before reaching retirement age.

                The Minnesota Court of Appeals can decide to transfer the case to MN Supreme Court..which is what they should do...because this is taking up a lot of court resources.

                      No it still is a lawsuit in MN because the incident happened there.

                        If the Vikings move to LA this case doesn't have any lasting effect on the NFL's anti-doping policy regardless of the outcome. That's what I meant.

                          They are holding a hearing about issuing a stay at 2 PM. The stay would keep the NFL from imposing the suspension until the appeals court decides to hear the appeal.

                            this is total bull shit IMO

                            they cheated according to NFL rules, they took the stuff. every other player on every othert team would have been suspended for what they did

                            the vikings are clearly gaining a huge advantage because of this whole thing dragging out for so long

                            i say if the courts find that they can be suspended the the nfl needs to punish them a lot more then the 4 games they were going to be suspended

                            hammer them hard rodger, make a giant statement
