Zeke Elliott case STILL under league review, Revis totally cleared

[bbgun]

I hope he's been practicing all week

at NFL lawyers who had "warned" 2nd circuit court of appeals about ruling on this, saying Zeke had no chance to win appeal and have suspension revoked.

2nd circuit court just gave Big Bird finger to Goodell and league office with Zeke ruling this morning.

So they will meet again next week to see if he will be granted the injunction correct?

That's what it looks like, if he wins that then it appears he will be good rest of this season.

Here's how to look at Zeke's stay -- It buys time for judges to make call on injunction. If he gets injunction, he'll likely play thru '17.

Are you sure there isn’t like 20 other courts or districts the NFL can appeal to? Lol

They should just put all the judges in a cage and make them fight it out. Last judge standing gets the ultimate ruling. You know, like they do in wrestling.

 

[yimyammer]

You know, with so many conflicting rulings on this issue, it seems prudent and fair to all parties to handle this after the Super Bowl so that it can get addressed properly during the off season once and for all.

It seems to me that time is not the issue when it comes to the NFL as they aren't harmed by having Zeke play but Zeke is definitely harmed if he gets suspended and that suspension is ultimately overturned.

Of course that seems like common sense to me which I suppose is why I never did well in business law as I never agreed with any of the convoluted answers

If he's gonna miss games, miss them this year. I don't want this hanging over the team next off-season, or wondering if we can with this or that game without Zeke when the season schedule comes out.

This yo yo affair is ridiculous IMO. Either somebody have the balls to say serve the suspension immediately or drop it all together based on the evidence presented. The longer this lingers it's looking more and more like a blindfolded disjointed circle jerk.

I saw an article that quotes his actual suspension. The wording in the suspension specifically states that he is to be suspended for six “regular season games”

Meaning if we somehow make the playoffs he will still be available to play

Don't hold your breath on that one. I'll internet, worthless GUARANTEE if he gets suspended and the games bleed over into the playoffs, his suspension will include the playoffs and it would take another court injunction to allow him to play.

The NFL released a statement this morning clarifying that wording. According to them he could definitely be suspended for playoff games and the SB (if they made it of course). Jerry was on the Fan this morning and said the same thing. He said from his understanding Zeke could be suspended for ANY meaningful game. He said preseason games are the only games that would not count under his suspension.

Nah. Draft a new RB and let him set the league on fire while Zeke sits out the first six games of 2018.

 

[Doomsday]

Told y'all.

I was listening to a Cowboys podcast where they had a legal expert on that the last judge ruled against all four reasons for his appeal and that the next judge is likely to the same exact thing

Meaning Zeke is likely shit out of luck

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Ticket saying this morning that now he's considering negotiating for fewer games? Would probably be best for all involved.

Not for Zeke, who would basically be admitting he's guilty. If he's innocent he should fight this all the way, even if it does seem futile.

 

[Scot]

If he did it then settle for fewer games. If he didn’t do it (unlikely) then fight it all the way to clear your name and keep it from being attached to him for the rest of his life

But the thing is, he's not innocent at all of what the suspension is for - violating the league conduct policy. If grabbing tiddys in public doesn't violate that, nothing does.

He's just a fucking dumbass animal on the loose.

You must have lived a sheltered life and need to stay away from Mardi Gras and New Orleans in general.

I did all the Nawlins and Mardi Gras 3-4 times and managed to not be tiddy grabbing while a prominent NFL player governed by a union labor agreement. He's just a dumbfuck.
