ESPN Premature Extrapolation and Publication

So Henderson ruled already?

Still not seeing it anywhere else. I would think it would be everywhere almost instantly.

ESPN waiting on a second source?

The NFLPA's request for a temporary restraining order to block the suspension of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliotthas been granted by the Eastern District of Texas.

NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson had upheld the six-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The NFLPA's filing called for the court to vacate any suspension of Elliott, accusing the league's appeals process of being "fundamentally unfair" and citing new facts revealed during this week's hearing that wrapped up Thursday.

Elliott can now potentially be allowed to play while the case works its way through the courts.

Did I miss where this was reported?

Judge isn't playing
This is a disgrace by the NFL

Wow. Very surprised a judge would make this ruling before Henderson rules. That tells me the judge doesn't like what he sees. I thought they were only asking to rule once Henderson makes a ruling and I thought the league was supposed to file a motion to dismiss. Either they didn't or that got tossed quickly, like on the spot.

If you can make a case as to a likely appeal, it isn't difficult to get an injunction granted by a judge. The timing of 's Henderson's ruling has no bearing on that at all.

No, that comment was from me .. there are not additional sources to confirm this yet.

The ESPN article kind of sounds like an article written just to have when the news does break. The article references Henderson upholding the suspension, but have we gotten a ruling yet from him?

This might be a premature ejaculation on the part of ESPN.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during those conversations.

Which is what I said in the original post

I'm going to guess they had this story queued up and that part was reported in error, because I haven't seen it reported elsewhere.

 

[Shake_Tiller]

Beginning to look like one of those crack reporters at ESPN might have mistook the formal filing to request the order as the order itself. Hoping nobody noticed.

All is well with the world.

What a shock. ESPN screwed it up. Not granted, just set for a hearing

 

[mahoneybill]

looks to me like all the that has been decided is to hold an emergency hearing on the motion to grant a restraining order. That will occur on Tuesday.
