NEW ORLEANS -- The NFL Players Association has asked a federal judge for a temporary restraining order that would allow players suspended in connection with the NFLs bounty investigation to rejoin their teams in time to play regular season openers. Wholesale MLB Jerseys . The union, which filed the motion Tuesday on behalf of New Orleans defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita, and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove, argues the players will suffer irreparable harm if they are forced to miss games while their case against the league proceeds. Suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma had already filed a similar motion when his full-season suspension began earlier. The other three players suspensions began this week. The players ultimately want their suspensions thrown out because they argue the disciplinary process was fundamentally flawed and unfair. U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan, who is hearing the case, has said she found the leagues handling of the bounty matter to be unfair to the players and their punishments excessive, but she has also said she is not yet comfortable that federal courts have jurisdiction to rule on a process that was collectively bargained between the union and the league. She has already indicated, in response to Vilmas earlier request for a temporary restraining order, that she was inclined to wait until players had exhausted their remedies under the leagues collective bargaining agreement before she ruled. Still pending on that front is a decision by a three-member panel that last week heard arguments in the NFLPAs appeal of a system arbitrator Stephen Burbanks ruling that Commissioner Roger Goodell had the authority both to punish the players and hear their appeal in the bounty matter. The union had argued that because actions alleged in the bounty matter happened on the field, the leagues labour agreement calls for someone other than the commissioner to hear players appeals of the commissioners disciplinary action. The three-member panel has indicated that it hoped to rule by this week. If it rules in favour of the players, Berrigan would have no reason to act. The NFL has said its investigators have concluded that the Saints ran a bounty program from the 2009 through 2011 seasons. The league said the program offered improper cash bonuses to defensive players for hits that injured opponents. The players have admitted to a pay-for-performance program for big plays such as turnovers and big, clean hits, which also is banned but cannot be punished by suspensions. However, they have denied, some under oath in federal court, that there was a pay-to-injure program. In addition to the four players suspended, the league also suspended Saints head coach Sean Payton the entire season, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis for half the season, and Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six games. Former Saints defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams, who is now with St. Louis and allegedly administered the bounty pool, has been suspended indefinitely. Wholesale Jerseys From China .

ANNES, England -- Its rare to see Tiger Woods hit iron off the tee on a par 5, except in links golf, and especially at Royal Lytham & St.ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall had quite a season in 2010. He returned a fumble for a touchdown to beat Dallas in the opener, tied an NFL record with four interceptions at Chicago, and concluded the campaign by winning Most Valuable Player honours in the Pro Bowl. Not bad. Last season? Different story. His three interceptions were fewer than he had in the 2010 game vs. Chicago alone. He didnt reach the end zone at all. And Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant victimized Hall with deep grabs on third-and-long for the decisive plays that dealt the Redskins two late defeats. "D-Hall is a magnet for the public eye," fellow starting cornerback Josh Wilson said. "He gets a lot of criticism sometimes. But youve got to look at the big picture. There are a lot of coverages where we look like we may have gotten beat, but its not our fault at all. Hes doing a great job." But will he keep doing it? Well, if you ask him, there are no worries. The three-time Pro Bowl pick acknowledges hes in need of a renaissance this season. Say no more. "I dont necessarily want to make up for it, but . do I want to go out and make plays," Hall asked. "Absolutely. Did I drop plays last year, or did I not make plays that I shouldve made? Yeah, I did. The opportunities were there, but I just didnt cash in on them." In an effort to get more plays from Hall, Washington defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett has moved him on passing downs from covering a receiver on an "island" outside, to the slot inside. "Im probably not a great corner, but Im a great football player," Hall said. "To go in the slot gives me a chance to be a football player. Youve got to be a complete football player. Youve got to tackle. Youve got to pick passes off. Youve got to be able to read routes. "Im essentially the linebacker when were in nickel persoonnel. Wholesale NFL Jerseys. Theyve given me a lot of flexibility to just go out there and make plays. Youre closer to the action. A lot of times Im lining up at linebacker depth, showing blitz and kicking back out to coverage or Im showing like Im covering and getting down to a run gap." Collectively, the secondary was the weakest part of a Washington defence that soared from 31st in yards allowed in 2010 to 13th last year. Hall slumped. It took Wilson, a free-agent signee, most of the season to find his stride. Safeties LaRon Landry and Oshiomogho Atogwe were injured and ineffective. Neither was retained, prompting the additions of free agents Brandon Meriweather, Madieu Williams and Tanard Jackson. However, Hall, the most outwardly confident of these Redskins (No. 25 in the AP Pro32), is far from worried about how the unit will perform. "Last year, we were ranked in the top five at a certain point," he said. "Then things started going downhill, the turnovers stopped coming, we stopped making plays, we stopped getting off the field on third downs. They started picking up a lot of first downs on us. It got frustrating. We finished 13th. To come from 31st to 13th is a big jump, and we feel like were poised for another big jump." Coach Mike Shanahan believes in Hall. At this point, he likely doesnt have any other choice, but he believes nonetheless. Hall, whos heading into his ninth season but wont turn 29 until November, can bounce back ... and the coach knows it. "You dont have great years every year," Shanahan said. "I think hes energized. (DeAngelo) has great ball skills. If he sees the ball coming in his area, hes going to intercept it." NOTES: Fullback Darrel Young and receiver Josh Morgan remain sidelined with strained hamstrings. ... The Redskins, 5-11 last season, open the preseason at Buffalo on Sept. 9. ' ' '
