I guess it's worth a shot, you never know unless you try, but if I were James I wouldn't put too much faith in it being overturned. Good luck anyway though. Go Steeler's !
James "Listen, I'm sorry I hit too hard"
Ted Cotrel "Do you mean it? are you really sorry you hit too hard James?"
James "HELL NO! This if football and you bunch of pusssies need to stop trying to destroy my sport!"
Ted Cotrel "Appeal Denied"

They must have the timeline wrong. I thought they had his original hearing last Friday in the media, and the appeal was already held here: http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls

Seems awfully quick. Doesn't it normally take at least a week for the appeal to be heard after the fine/suspension is given? Sounds to me like they really want him out for the SF game.

Goodell is not in control of the appeals process.

Art Shell and Ted Cotrelll. The committee was created jointly by the NFLPA and the league. Goodell is not in control of the rulings and there have been multiple instances of fines levied by the league being reduced or in even two cases that I know of, the fine being completely wiped out.
No offense, but you've got to be pretty naive if you think Goodell doesn't have a hand in it. Or that either of his henchmen would just say, "You know what, even though it's never been done before, I think we'll just go ahead and suspend this guy and have it come as a complete surprise to the commissioner." They got his OK on every detail. It's not some blind altruistic process; the shithead has his hand in every cookie jar and wouldn't be the least bit ashamed to say so.
See you Space Cowboy ...
A kangaroo court
His agent/etc submitted for an expedited appeal so that he could possibly play in the SF game (the agent/James/etc know its a big game and he wants to be there). I do not know the normal time frame...it just depends on how its submitted/etc I guess.

I see appeals from other players all the time and their punishment is always put 'on hold' until the appeal is heard. Usually that amounts to them being able to play the next week.
Not a chance they let that happen in this case. They locked in and put the blinders on a long time ago, and now they have to prove a point. They probably had the rejection letter already written before they heard the appeal at all.
This is what I was thinking, but I guess they have set up an express lane for James.

Sorry James but until you are willing to cross the street to piss on Go To Hell Godell you will have to live with this suspension.
Steeler Nation unite we need to ban together and all piss on Go To Hell Godell for James just so Go To Hell knows Steeler Nation cares enough to shower him with our support!!! Spread the word show our support Piss on Go To Hell Godell!!!
What needs to happen is the Browns need to "appeal" to Johnson and Johnson to make some extra large bandaids for their QBs big gaping PUSSY!

Better yet, I think they need to make another rule change so that roughing the passer can only be called when the QB is wearing white armbands that say "PUSSY" in 6-inch high black letters, and also a Miss America winner's-style sash that says "BIGGEST PUSSY."
See you Space Cowboy ...
I am going to attempt to build wings out of wax and fly to the sun today...bet I have a better chance of success than Harrison does...

I see what you did there.
Appeal denied. Huge surprise there.
Since they already had this decided beforehand, I wonder why they took the extra two days to announce it instead of publishing it at 2:01 on Wednesday.Appeal denied. Huge surprise there.
Oh yeah -- they want to make it look like the appeal process wasn't a complete sham.
See you Space Cowboy ...
