Williams boys CAN be suspended
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Tags: None

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).2025 Ratpickers champion.

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.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

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.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

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.Originally posted by Tony OdayNo it still is a lawsuit in MN because the incident happened there.Originally posted by GunakorRoger Goodell will be able to do his job.Originally posted by retailguyWhat happens if the Vikings move to LA?Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to grow

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.Originally posted by hoosierIs 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.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

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
