Patton Oswalt I prefer the term "S***head's Christmas" instead of "April Fool's Day."
Grandmaster Wang Bout to crack open the #EyeblackOdyssey over here.
Lance Moore Unbelievably great night last night! Great times w great people.
Larry Holder That's fast. Goodell will hear appeals for Payton, Loomis on Tuesday, according to the ESPN graphic on the screen right now.
Albert Breer One thing I did notice ... New Nike stuff available for 31 teams. Not the Seahawks yet. Their new look comes Tuesday at the launch.
Albert Breer The NFL expects to hear any/all appeals in the Saints case -- from the team itself, Payton, Loomis, Vitt -- this week.
Jason La Canfora NFL says all appeals in Saints/bounty case will be heard this week. As Commish alluded to, an expedited process.
Albert Breer The appealing parties all seem to be looking for clarity. Could make expediting appeals tricky, b/c of the volume of information they want.
Albert Breer ... One person involved pointed out to me that reviewing a 3-year investigation in a 1-day appeal process might be tough. We'll see.
Albert Breer Also important to note timetable -- Sean Payton's suspension was set to begin today, which explains league's desire to expedite that 1. ...
Albert Breer ... As for others, deadline for team appeal would be the draft, when 1st docked pick comes up. Vitt/Loomis suspension don't start til Aug.
Albert Breer Poor wording on that last tweet. Artificial deadline for a final decision on team's appeal would be draft, b/c of the docked 2nd-round pick.
Grandmaster Wang It begins. Was only a matter of time. "Saints getting off too easy." http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_20286264/mark-purdy-new-orleans-saints-are-getting-off Hahahaha! #nWo #wemaketherulespal
