Mortensen: Elliott Suspension Upheld **merged**

[newera]

Just printed five copies out to use as toilet paper.

Basically said, "you guys don't understand how this works, NFL did everything the right way."

 

[reddyuta]

Henderson report is utter bull****,he says they didnt consider KRs suggestion because that was not her role!!.whats the purpose of having a investigator (who was the only one to talk to TT) if you are not going to even consider her conclusions? this is definition of Kangaroo court.

 

[Cowboys22]

I want to get excited for ^ Tweet, but how can Kessler keep this case out of New York?

Because it's already filed in Texas and the judge has accepted the case. Any appeal will be to the 5th circuit not the 2nd.

 

[starfrombirth]

See Tom Brady case and the Federal appeals decision which is now standing policy that Goodell by the CBA agreement with the NFLPA has the authority to suspend a player under the code of conduct policy

Precedent is not law. Judges don't like to dispute each other but they can.

The NFL attempted to get it dismissed today but failed. In addition they annoyed the Judge and have to deal with that going forward.

Didn't the judge ultimately agree with Brady in his case but rule that the CBA is ironclad in the league's favor?

 

[Bigdog]

Was listening to NFL radio on the way home and they had the former GM from the Colts on(forgot his name). He said that he did not think any judge would over turn the suspension just like the Brady case. He reported the reason why is the NFLPA head signed the policy of having Goodell be the one who handle discipline of the players and if a judge did overturn this policy it will open up tons of law suits in other labor relations throughout the country. Said that the players signed this labor contract and have to abide by the contract they signed. Just FYI.

We understand how it works. that's why nobody is surprised.

Not only were her findings removed from the report - they tried to alter the document so the word "Inconsistency" was removed from the heading and they got busted.

It's so utterly incredible that this happened with lifelong professionals in an 11 billion dollar industry.

I once tried to remove a "D" on my report card - I was in 6th grade.

I changed my D to a B. Just a faint line to split the letter!

 

[fredp22]

Fred, walk this back in.

Zeke was garroted

hi-
I want Zeke's suspension to be removed like everyone else but we really don't know the whole story. What has leaked out hasn't been good. The arbitrators lowered Hardy's suspension but didn't touch this one. just think there's more here than we know.
Anyway if Zekes lawyers now sue does the suspension go back burner again?

 

[Manwiththeplan]

He's playing Sunday and given how the justice was taking Nash to task it looks certain that the TRO will be granted.

Is that really cause to celebrate though? Maybe he's suspended 6 games in November, December and January? I guess it has to start some where, but I don't think we should be popping champagne yet.

The NFL players signed away all their rights. Just idiotic on their part.

 

[Cowboys22]

I'm confused... why are we celebrating this?

THe league didn't budge, didn't even reduce it, but we think that's a good thing?

The good thing is that the case will stay in Texas, the judge appeared extremely skeptical of what the NFL did, and Zeke is playing week 1. This is as good as could have realistically been expected.

 

[ShortRound]

Sorry mods but **** the NFL IN THE ******* ***

It is a process. Take it day by day

If there was more would Zeke really take it to court?

I know. The ex GM said it was a 10 year contract that they signed with the NFL which is unheard of in labor relations.

I skimmed through some of it because its typical lawyer BS but the last line gave me a good chuckle.

 

[Hailmary]

You guys SURE his lawyers are the sharpest knives in the drawer? They misused the word 'conscious' in the press release. It should be 'conscience'.

You guys need to let go of this conscious/ conscience thing. It was probably a spellcheck thing anyway. Meanwhile, Kessler is schooling the NFL and making them look Busch league.
