Eh...not a fan of the Cowboys counsel Jason Cohen saying that losing Elliott for 6 games causes "irreparable harm" to the Cowboys' 2017 season. If he is guilty of DV-- he needs to serve the suspension. If he is innocent then he needs to be exonerated.

Talking about the effects on the franchise is secondary or tertiary at this point. Stay on topic counselor and focus on the fact that this was an unjust and unfair process-- regardless of who the player is or who he plays for-- this kind of treatment by the league office is unwarranted and should not be tolerated.

I truly don't know where this case is going and what will be the ultimate resolution, but Dallas just did this:

Part of the TRO rqeuirements is for the plaintiff to demonstrate irreparable harm. It's an element required for the judge to find in Zeke's favor. The brief buttresses that argument such that even if they find that Zeke is not irreparably harmed, his employer would be.

The law is a winding road my friend, they would not be making that argument if it was not in Zeke's legal best interests.

I'm fairly certain they did this support of the temporary injunction while this goes through the courts, rather than trying to get his suspension overturned.

Hot damn. I would run through walls for Jerry. That guy would bring the best out of me and I know it brings the best out of his guys he employs.

Who would not want to work for a guy that will run through a wall for you before you get the chance to do so for him first?

DV doesn't usually work that way. He'll never be exonerated. He'll never be tried.

Assuming nothing ever goes to court, I have no problem with the Cowboys supporting Zeke.

If he can get the league to vacate the suspension, his name is essentially cleared of DV, which is why he is adamantly trying to prove the flaws in the process-- AND the conspiracy angle.

Will never be tried in criminal court as DV b/c he was never arrested and prosecuted.

BUT-- they labeled him a "woman beater" on shoddy process and little evidence, so he is doing what he can to defend himself.

And I am 100% in favor of the Cowboys support for Zeke. Just think the Cowboys lawyer talking about "irreperable harm" to the team clouds the issue a bit.

The fact that you can never get those games back may be the harm they are referring to.

Think this is about establishing standing to file.
