New info on Merriman

What I don't like about the whole situation is that he gets to play 2 more games because he is appealing. I understand that he can do that because that's the rule but everyone is saying that he won't win his appeal. The rule is the rule. It doesn't matter how the substance got into his body, it got there. I just think that since the NFL knows players will appeal they ought to have the appeal hearing as soon as possible and not take 2 or 3 weeks.
