“It’s time for the judge to send Vilma onto the field, since Goodell has yet to show valid proof to back up his accusations.”

It’s not happening, so you better get ready to deal with reality.

If the judge had a legal basis to do it, the decision would have been rendered already. She has no legal basis, therefore Vilma ain’t playing football.

Vilma had a chance to appeal his suspension, but refused to participate in the very process that he agreed to. So now he can watch football for 2012 season.

Justice has been served.

The good news for Saints is Lofton should be back week one and normally would have played in week 4 of preseason, so it will only be a few drives gait Texans this Saturday that he misses. Also, Coach Vitt said Hawthorne was playing after injury, which means the tear probably isn’t that bad and a quick return hopefully for week 2!

I find it interesting since this is the first season of the new CBA rules that limit OTAs and training camp sessions. Players are being worked less in practice, but they’re getting injured more.

Maybe less time practicing, instead of improving player health, actually leads to players being in worse shape, using worse technique, and getting injured.
