The NFL waited until the courts were closed to give the suspensions. The players lawyers will either have to get a judge at home or wait until tomorrow to get a restraining order and file for an injunction.

The main argument is that the NFL knew that Starcaps had a banned substance that wasn't listed on the label and failed to notify the players. In court, if a lawyer withheld evidence from the other side, he or she would be facing sanctions.

Prediction: they'll miss 1 game at the most and the league will end up with egg on its face.

Hennepin County Judge Gary Larsen issued today, pending a review that could take them off the field on Sunday.

Come on Judge, they play the Lions this weekend and we need them to keep hope alive. Detroit is on a mission to run the table, and removing the Williams from the game could be unfair. Nah, the Lions will find a way.

[Schnoodler]

Never overestimate the Lions.

I think we're suppose to hear on all three pending lawsuits today.

Is Alan Page still a justice up there? Any chance this case could come before him? Would one former defensive lineman help two current ones?
