Saints players won on appeal…

According to Adam Schefter, the New Orleans Saints players have won their appeal, making their suspensions null and void.
With Saints winning appeal, suspensions are voided as Roger Goodell doesn't have jurisdiction and Stephen Burbank does.

While the coaches will still be serving their suspensions, it must be a huge relief for all of the players, families and the Saints Organization that the players have won. They will now be eligible to play and Roger Goodell will not be able to suspend them. This is a huge blow to Goodell’s power, and could mean more overturned suspensions in the future. One thing is certain, Jonathan Vilma is one happy man.
