Ezekiel Elliott withdraws appeal

[4lifecowboy]

He will lose....goodell was within his powers and did nothing wrong. Heard his case, decide to listen who he wanted to listen to, and then punished zeke.

I'd compare it to trying to sue an arbitrator....very hard to do

Disagree, only thing that was proven was that Goodell followed procedure. Fundamental fairness can be addressed in a civil court, especially since they specifically suspended him for domestic violence. That will and has had a direct effect on his personal earning potential.

There is no justice in any of this. I have no faith in the courts at all.

Not sure if this has been posted, but gotta say it pisses me off

I beleive that he's still cooking up something else even though he dropped this process.

This route has ran it's course, by the time the appeal his heard he would have already have served 4 games. Now he can take the suspension and sue for punitive damage.

Yea they are so corrupt. Still trying to label him. I am so done with them. The Cowboys are the only thing keeping me interested but everything has a limit.

The onion needs to release a story about Goodell being accused of domestic violence. Roger "Rage Monster" Goodell

I wonder if Goodell would file paperwork for slander then pause and realize the irony with regards to the Ezekiel Elliott situation.

Is he still fighting to clear his name though?

It's over with. No one cares no more. It's no longer news. What done is done at this point.

 

[xwalker]

Not for me. I'm ticked off because the railroad is officially complete. An injustice of epic proportion.

I think I would rather record myself 24/7 to stockpile evidence that would exonerate me. Any girl I'm dating would have to sign a waiver acknowledging she's being recorded.

That is similar to what Erik Williams did back in the day.

I need a new binge watch. Is this good?

You want a massive, awesome binge?

Midsomer Murders. That's a proper series.

And it's a good thing he did. All NFL players should follow that lead anymore.

I miss his big face though. Tough times.

It’ll be even bigger after the suspension.

I think Zeke’s camp just raised the white flag. A civil suite against Goodell makes no sense now.

It never did. Its in the NFLPA contract. It is unwinnable.

The NFLPA is so stupid giving that much power to one man.

This case just shows money buys "justice" in this country. Money is the god of today.

The NFL is a "legalized" monopoly. Billions of dollars in revenue and profits run through it each year, not only via legal gambling, but in under the table deals and betting. You can bet all of these things played a part. I don't really care for football much anymore. Nowadays I believe most of the NFL owners are little more than white collar criminals in suits.

Yeah, I'm getting real sick of this. If the USFL still existed, I would probably just stop watching the NFL and follow the USFL instead. In any event, I'm starting the "bail Reverend Conehead out of jail" fund for when I attend the draft just to throw tomatoes at Goodell.

Guess we know how the Saints fans feel. Goodell totally ruined their season that one year too.

The courts are handcuffed by the NFLPA's idiotic and money driven contract. Its not the US judicially system that is to blame. It's basic contract law. It was a lost cause from the start.

It wasn't the last CBA, it was many CBA's ago that 46 was adopted.
You could say that it is the NFLPA's fault for not negotiating it out, but it was never as big a deal as it is now.

 

[pitt33]

I withdraw my prediction of a winning streak after Philly.

Smart decision.

That's because all the other commissioners were honorable men. This one is a rodent, a snake and other words I can't say on this site.
