A 3-member appeal panel has overturned the NFL's suspension of 4 players for their involvement in the Saints' bounty scandal. DE Will Smith and LB Jonathan Vilma of the Saints, plus Browns LB Scott Fujita and free-agent DT Anthony Hargrove are now eligible to play immediately. It's a shocking development, although the NFL never really had enough evidence against these guys anyways. New Orleans' defense gets a big boost here.
Update: The NFL will reportedly be allowed to "re-discipline" the players based on the new CBA. Commissioner Roger Goodell will "expedite" the process. He's out for blood!
