    Bountygate OVERTURNED

    In a stunning development, players suspended for their roles in the Saints' 2009-2011 Bounty Scandal have had their bans overturned on appeal.

    Perhaps the most notable suspension lifted is RE Will Smith's. The Saints' best pass rusher will be able to start Sunday against the Redskins. Browns SLB Scott Fujita and Saints MLB Jonathan Vilma, among others, are now eligible to play football in Week 1. Vilma has been away from the Saints, so it's unclear how much time he'll need to get back into the swing of things. Smith's return will make life quite a bit more difficult on Redskins rookie Robert Griffin III. Coaches Sean Payton and Joe Vitt, and GM Mickey Loomis' suspensions will remain intact.

    Pretty strange that the coaches remain suspended over something that apparently didn't even happen.

    Saints will pound the Redskins. Rookie qb playing in the Superdome with a pissed off crowd. Fukk that. They won't be able to score enough to keep up with the Saints. RG3 has a lot to learn in the NFL.

    You guys should really get the facts...

    There was no determination that "it didn't even happen" which is why the coaches remain suspended.

    It was an appeal by the NFLPA on the procedural basis of how Goodell assessed punishment to the PLAYERS and whether he had authority to do so.

    It doesn't mean there won't be a suspension of the players forthcoming either, just that they can play now until that is determined.
