@JasonLaCanfora: NFL has announced a 9-game suspension for 49er Aldon Smith. Um, re-thinking my Super Bowl pick

 

hell be back and 9 games fresher for the playoff run

San Fran may be in trouble this year with a weaker secondary, no Bowman, and now no Aldon Smith for the first 9 games.

Haha. Good point. Though SF might be slightly down this year. Tougher division and their D is slipping a little bit. I also think Kaep had a pretty bad preseason.

Still, Harbaugh is a great coach so they probably be fine.

My only issue with the suspension is they waited until 9 days before the season to announce it

 

its very possible, if not likely, that theres a lot more communication behind the scenes on some of this. is it simply the appeal being finalized today, perhaps?

@AlbertBreer

NFLPA negotiated on behalf of Aldon Smith, helped get him access to the facilities. This was basically a settlement, so obviously no appeal.

 

well, that does help explain the timing still -- they were negotiating and with the season here finalized it.
