With Saints winning appeal, suspensions are voided as Roger Goodell doesn't have jurisdiction and Stephen Burbank does. — @AdamSchefter via Twitter

Wow, this really makes Goodell look bad and the NFL as a whole. The owners can't be happy with him.

What about Saints' HC Sean Payton? Does his suspension still stand?

Yes, and if the commissioner wanted to do the right thing he would bring them all back too.

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

That cringing sound you're hearing right now is Redskins' rookie QB Robert Griffin III. As if he doesn't have enough to worry about as he makes his starting debut Sunday in New Orleans. YIKES!

So there's basically no reason for a collective bargaining agreement anymore.

Still awaiting a comment from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's office. He can't be too pleased with this news.

Quote:
Unlike any ruling that may have been issued by Judge Berrigan, the ruling from the internal appeals panel, which overturned a prior decision from arbitrator Richard Burbank, is final and binding. The league has no recourse — unless the league chooses to file a lawsuit attacking the outcome of the internal arbitration. (Which is what the players had been trying to do before Judge Berrigan.)


...from PFT.

Decision says Goodell can reconsider discipline only if there is evidence of intent to injure beyond just a performance pool, per source. — @SI_JimTrotter via Twitter
