WILLIAMS WALL WON’T FALL
Posted by Mike Florio on December 5, 2008, 3:31 p.m.
Judge Robert Magnuson decided on Friday to temporarily prevent the NFL from suspending five NFL players who took a supplement that, unbeknownst to them, had been spiked with a banned substance.
Per the Associated Press, Judge Magnuson decided after several hours of oral argument in two pending lawsuits challenging the suspensions that he needs more time to assess the matter.
As a result, Vikings defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams and Saints running back Deuce McAllister and Will Smith will be available on Sunday. Saints defensive end Charles Grant previously was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Thus, the suspension would not have affected his ability to play.
Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jackson took the same supplement, known as StarCaps. However, the internal appeal of his suspension has been deferred as the NFL gathers more evidence.

I have the Vikes defense, Longwell, and Peterson going this week, so I am happy!
