Talked to longtime Grayson County DA who was in courtroom during Zeke hearing. Said he expects Mazzant to grant Zeke's TRO.
Josh Brown being suspended an additional six games to cover up the NFL witch hunt against Zeke.
Pash @TheAmir
Suspending Josh Brown right now will backfire IMO for the league. Plays to Kessler's narrative.Timing looks like trying to backdate receipts
League office to ESPN: "This Brown suspension has nothing to do with the Zeke Elliott case"
do they think the judge is fucking retarded?
The ruling is in.
Federal judge Amos Mazzant, of the Eastern District of Texas, ruled Friday to grant Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott a preliminary injunction. It prevents the NFL from enforcing its six-game suspension of Elliott.
The decision means Elliott will play beyond Sunday's season opener against the New York Giants, which he was already approved to play.
According to SportsDay Cowboys insider Kate Hairopoulos, Mazzant said the question needed to consider is whether Elliott received a fundamentally fair hearing before the arbitrator. Mazzant ruled he did not.
Mazzant held a hearing Tuesday in Sherman when both sides argued for and against the stay. If the NFL appeals, it's likely Elliott will remain on the field for the rest of this season while his lawsuit is decided.

Judge Mazzant: "The Court finds the NFL further sought to ensure that the NFLPA and Elliott would never find out about Roberts’s opinions"

Tom Melsheimer: "There was significant evidence of information that was withheld...from the ultimate decision maker (Goodell)."

Wow. Unique and egregious facts and serious misconduct by the arbitrator.
Elliott Judge:
"the denial of key documents and witnesses amount to serious misconduct by [Harold Henderson]"
Daniel Wallach @WALLACHLEGAL
Judge Mazzant also rejected NFL”s argument that Elliott lacked “standing” to sue prior to Henderson’s award:

Ezekiel Elliott granted preliminary injunction. Judge acknowledges standard was deferential to NFL, but facts in the case were "egregious":
…@EdwerderRFA
What appears to be a harsh reprimand of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Harold Henderson and process they followed.
