Zeke Elliott case STILL under league review, Revis totally cleared

[yimyammer]

Also Judge herself said not to read into her questions.

too late, I already did!

 

[Scot]

Shouldn’t we have had a final answer already?

I thought today was the day

She said she will issue her ruling tonight.

Unconfirmed interwebs tweets say that Zeke is winning.

 

[yimyammer]

Zeke out for 6 games

 

[Scot]

Sorry I asked.

 

[bbgun]

congrats to the 2017 NFCE champion Philadelphia Eagles

 

[Scot]

We should be getting the update soon that we will be trotting out Darren McFadden next game

 

[Doomsday]

Zeke out for 6 games

He can still get a stay. This was just a denial of a prelim injunction, not the final appeal.

 

[MrB]

Zeke should be back for the Raiders game correct?

IF the union doesn't get a stay, yeah. The final appeal probably gets filed in a higher court tomorrow.

 

[Mr.Po]

I have completely given up on understanding this whole process. Learning Chinese would be easier to understand than this back and forth affair of will he or won't he play.

It's climbing the ladder of the court system just like Brady's deal did.

me too, I'm exhausted watching this ping-pong through the courts

 

[Mr.Po]

So only 93 more district courts , 12 court of appeals, Supreme Court , and talking to a partridge in a pear tree and then it's a wrap?

 

[Scot]

Although I don’t want to loose him for six games I’m ready for this ping pong shit to be over with.

Plus I’d rather he be suspended this season considering we don’t stand a chance in hell in the playoffs with this young defense as opposed to having it take place the first six games of next season when we “should” have a better (or at least more experienced) defense on the field to go with our offense

It really doesn't make a fuck when actually, the suspension is served. Really, it doesn't. Not with Ginger as HC.

Let's start with the obvious which is that many fans had their head up their ass when came to this issue. Logically speaking if Brady served a suspension for conspiring to deflating footballs because legal scholars said he would ultimately lose on appeal, how was Zeke going to avoid it using the same or similar legal maneuvers? Answer is because of poor collective bargaining he wasnt. Now NE being a smart organization with an owner that knows his limitations and when to cut his losses had his star QB serve the suspension during the first four games and get it behind him. The first four games when the team was healthiest and best able to withstand the loss.

OTOH Dallas a dumb organization should have done the same when they realized the defense was the road to nowhere but noooooo. They were smarter than everybody else and the worst part is they probably no worse than 3-4 right with the whole thing in the rear view mirror if they had only lived in reality.

That's true but the timing is a bit different, and really the deal is that with the CBA, the fucking Commissioner's word is law, Zeke WILL eventually have to serve his suspension just like Brady did. The players wanted Camp Cupcake and some other shit, but what they gave up was giving the Commish absolute power in these matters and the language is unassailable.

Jerry really has no control over these appeals, it's the union that's doing it. Just like they did for Brady, except in that case it was Brady himself (his lawyers) who drove the bus, getting it through the courts faster.

Zeke wouldn’t admit to the charges so he wouldn’t settle allowing the suspension to begin.

He still wants to save his name and reputation. That’s the only reason this shit is still continuing

The sad/funny thing is that the players are going bend over and spread them again for the owners when they offer to stop testing for weed. And they will do it willingly.
