Wait.. What? They rescinded the suspension BEFORE the appeal took place??? Now why would they do that??
Let's all remember this the next time a questionable call doesn't go our way before we start screaming "The fix is in!!!"
The NFL has given us good reason to be paranoid at times but this does show not every single thing that goes against us is a plot from the NFL office. They could have easily upheld his suspension and no one would have cared, even if Branch showed proof of his innocence.
“Urine samples routinely are split into two bottles, the "A" bottle and the "B" bottle. If the "A" bottle generates a positive result, the "B" bottle is tested. Amazingly, the "B" bottle doesn't have to independently show a violation. Instead, the substance abuse policy states that the "'B' bottle Test need only show that the substance, revealed in the 'A' bottle Test, is evident to the 'limits of detection' to confirm the results of the 'A' bottle Test.

For Gordon, the "A" bottle showed a concentration of 16 ng/ml, only one nanogram per milliliter above the limits of 15. The "B" bottle showed a concentration of 13.6 ng/ml — less than the threshold.”
They rescinded the suspension before the appeal even happened, according to Howe. In all likelihood, that means that there was a problem on their end, and they weren't going to be able to uphold the suspension.
So it's still perfectly fine to scream "The fix is in!".
