NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Tuesday that the league would not, at this time, enforce suspensions on Saints players Will Smith and Charles Grant. The NFL is playing this smart by not suspending the Saint's players. Not only is it good P.R., meaning they would not have to endure the complaints about different treatment of the Vikings players, it positions the league to argue to SCOTUS that a nationally consistent policy is necessary, that the collective bargaining agreement pre-empts state law, and I think the Court will agree.
