4th quarter current event 2

http://m.si.com/news/to/to/detail/5001127 Arbitrator nixes Saints players' bounty challenge On Monday June fourth, Stephen Burbank, a professor of law at University of Pennsylvania, ruled that Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, is allowed to discipline the New Orleans Saints football team for the bounty system crimes, because of the conditions established by the collective bargaining agreement made to end the lock out. Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is suspended for the entire 2012 season and teammate Will Smith is suspended for four games. Former Saints defensive end Anthony Hargrove, who is currently with Green Bay, is suspended for eight games, while linebacker Scott Fujita, currently with Cleveland, is docked three games. This article is very well done. It is well written and very thorough in its information and gives a good time line of past and upcoming events. I imagine that since this is such a controversial and followed topic, that this article will receive a lot of attention. This issue will certainly be a persistent one, and is enjoyable to read about, as the suspended players are planning to appeal the ruling.
