They ran to NY in the Brady case first for the same reason and the cases are completely different

Brady was ruling that the punishments weren't clearly explained before hand, that is was a simple equipment violation and other similar cases got monetary fines only
Brady's legal filing did include the above but it was certainly not the only piece of his argument. They also included arguments relating to fundamental fairness, evidence and witness exclusion (just like Elliott).
Zeke is saying he was railroaded by the process and wasn't allowed to even present a fair case.....something Brady never offered...
With all due respect, you've obviously never read the Brady filing because his argument included all those points.

In fact, if you sit down and read the Brady filing side by side with the Elliott filing, you will see how similar they are.
Zeke is claiming they hid evidence and didn't allow him to call necessary witnesses......
Brady claimed the exact same thing. The CA2 Brady ruling addressed this very point when they wrote (direct quote):

"It is well settled that procedural questions that arise during arbitration, such as which witnesses to hear and which evidence to receive or exclude, are left to the sound discretion of the arbitrator and should not be second‐guessed by the courts."

It is just not a strong legal argument to tell a court "OK we know you clearly stated the arbitrator can decide which witnesses to hear and what evidence to exclude, but our case is different darnit!" (Please note I am not saying it never works, just that it is not a strong legal argument)

I never said it was a tough situation for them to choose between fighting and not fighting. You are confusing "decision" with "situation". So take a step off your condescending soapbox.

EE is wrongfully being pegged as the reason we are 2-3 ......it is a "quick fix" mentality

If EE just takes his medicine we will be the 13-3 team again.....it is wrong and short sighted

Our D has cost us 2 games.....LA and DEN and folded at the end after a terrible TAINT against GB

Zeke is a not a distraction or scape goat....... he should fight this thru the SCOTUS

Couldn't agree more.

Anybody wanting him to take the 6 games now isn't the person that is being lied about doing something seriously wrong and thus it's easy for them to say EE should just take the 6 games. Whatever illogical reasoning they have for the 6 games is beside the point.

And his legal team is using constructs like fairness when it is pretty much determined that Goodell does not have to be fair.
"pretty much"? Who "pretty much" determined that? This isn't that lame lie about the CBA article 46 giving Goodell god-like power, is it? I thought we dispelled that lie a long time ago? Labor laws give the people subject to them them certain rights, one of which is fundamental fairness. It can not be written away by the CBA.

Yes he has. Shut up dummy.
Oh really? Do you have a link to the filing? No you don't because you have no idea what you are talking about.

The NFLPA has formally indicated they will be requesting an en banc review but they haven not yet filed for it. You obviously don't understand the difference between informing the court you will be filing for a review and doing the actual filing (and I doubt you'd understand it if I explained it to you).

They have 14 days (from the date of the ruling) to file.

I'm not hearing your ridiculousness. Stop talking.
It's clear you're hearing everything I've said, you're just not understanding it.

Sorry not sorry but I will not dumb down my commentary to suit you.

Blah Blah Blah... you ridiculous... Blah
I don't know what your problem is. I am explaining the process as best I can. You obviously don't have the first clue what you are talking about.

Still waiting for you to show us the en banc filing which you said he made. (You won't be able to show the filing and you're clearly not mature enough to admit it when you are wrong)
