CZ POLL How many games will Elliott be suspended after Henderson's appeal ruling?

[alicetooljam]

Ill say two based upon the news earlier this week that it was likely to be reduced, but who knows at this point?

 

[cmoney23]

I am going with 2, but it should be vacated, and if it isn't it will be going to court.

bucs dolphins game cancelled

maybe they were wanting to announce that before Zeke?

 

[Direwolf63]

Im listening to Mike Francessa on WFAN and he just told a caller zeke has a pattern and beat up his GF in college. I am confused, was he talking about TT because it didnt sound like it? Did zeke have this issue before the TT stuff?

he also said something to the effect that werder was saying yesterday that the league has more information and his suspension is about a number of things.

I think he is confused or there is something no one knows.

Werder did tweet that he read a bunch of stuff that nobody knows about. Damaging to Zeke. How much this material influenced the original 6 game suspension is anybodys guess.

 

[TWOK11]

The safe bet is 4 based on historical precedent.

2 wouldn't shock me if there truly isn't anything more to the NFL's case than they've shown us to date. In this case it's two games under the conduct clause exclusively and they drop the DV angle.

A complete reversal isn't happening unless it's a higher court ruling in the future.

right, francessa was saying a similar thing, the league has more information that has not been released and all the public has heard is zeke's side via the nflpa.

 

[Trouty]

Henderson has a shrinkage problem.

The suspension stays at 6.

He wants to keep his cushy position.

A post like this gets @waldoputty hot and heavy, Big Dog!!

It depends entirely on what this extra evidence is. If it's simply more heresay from texts or interviews with the alleged victim, that does nothing to improve her credibility or grant validity to the accusations. If it's truly concrete evidence of abuse, are we to believe the National Football League is that much better at felony investigations than the local and state authorities of Ohio?

Question: if the new policy for DV is 6 game minimum for first offense, shouldn't the options for appeal be either 0 or 6? Any other number would be in violation of their own policy. In this case, if the ruling is it remains at 6 games, with all of the evidence calling into question the accusations and the procedural errors, it will prove that the appeals process is utterly meaningless.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

If as I read it, only two possibilities. Either 6 or 0. Then, the NFL being more afraid of a lawsuit from Zeke for damages, will reduce it to 0.

And if the NFL reduces it to zero, you can be sure Zeke will be under the microscope both on and off the field. Expect lots of drug tests and an inordinate number of holding calls when Zeke touches the ball.

 

[roughneck266]

Ahh, I thought this was about what Henderson's ruling says.

Reading comprehension is obviously not my strong point.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

It should be set aside, but he will uphold it at 6. It seems to me it's an all or nothing thing, either it is DV and it is six games, or it isn't and there should be none.

 

[CWR]

The way the appeal has drawn out Im saying 6 now. I wouldnt have said that last week though lol

The 6 games can be reduced to something less considering "mitigating circumstances".

It doesn't have to be 6 or 0. It can be something in between.

 

[Dhragon]

Seeing as Henderson was not a man of his word and reneged on the 4:00pm EST decision, he has shown himself to indeed be just a lapdog of Goodell. I'd like to change my choice to full 6 games - no reduction.

 

[haleyrules]

6 games.

If it is relevant to the case then why did they not include it in the report?

 

[Real1st]

6 games. Look at how this process is going.

 

[LatinMind]

6 and the restraining order goes into effect. Elliot plays

Unless the mental midgets are referring to the Florida incident that the cop came forward on in support of Zeke.
