A Minnesota (really??) judge has blocked the suspensions of the Minnesota Vikings’ tubby defensive linemen Pat Williams and Kevin Williams. No relation.
Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson issued the temporary restraining order at the players’ request, saying he wanted more time to hear arguments in the case. No further hearing date immediately was set.
Expect Judge Larson (of Far Side fame?) to make up his mind sometime after the Pro Bowl. Gee, I wonder what god-forsaken piece of shit team he roots for on Sundays…
Look, I understand they were not explicitly busted for steroids. But a banned substance is a banned substance. Performance enhancing drugs can be something other than steroids. Taking a pill that makes your slow fat ass lose weight is performance enhancing and it’s not something the league wants to condone. By focusing on the steroid part of the issue, the Williams’ and members of the Minnesota media are totally missing the point. They used weight loss pills that contained a banned substance. That means they get suspended.
Here’s hoping the NFL shows some backbone and fights back. If you can’t enforce your rules, than why bother having them.

I know a certain blogger that might not want to cast the first stone when it comes to band substances….. :)
in this, the season of giving, i’d like to give the williams twins a kick in the ass and slap that judge in the face. this reeks of the “we didn’t tamper with brett” coverup bs the dirty good for nothing low life brainless party boat exposing criminal felon loser queens are known for. at least gbp criminals only keep their bar open past 230am, not prison sentence mike vick type crimes.
on a lighter note, F the bears!
That is the legal process, but I believe Goddell’s suspension is still being upheld.
Correction I did read the article and they actuall blocked it…. Can the legal system do that? It’s up to Goddell who he lets play and doesn’t let play. He suspended Pacman and he has never been convicted of anything legally…..
It’s total bullshit that this would even go to a judge… it’s the fucking private sector.. If I got suspended from work, I wouldn’t take it to court.
