Mortensen: Elliott Suspension Upheld **merged**

[AmericasTeam81]

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

I think that's apples and oranges, but it's all good. We shall see!

Both sides sliding their chips to the middle of the table. Dang this is going to be ugly. This case will set a big precedence for the players and league in the near future.

This could be good:

Meh, how are the judges on that appeals circuit?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Hey NFL, I'm a Cowboys fan.

**** you.

You're on a roll, Trouty.

 

[ThreeandOut]

This could be good:

The NFL probably told Henderson that this hearing wasn't going well so go ahead and release their ruling.

 

[dagreat1_87]

Wait, I am confused..............I thought the NFL said he could play week one and now they are saying the 6 games is upheld?

So he cant play now?

Or can he play week one, but his suspension starts week 2-week 7?

This is some grade A bullchit!!!!

He can play Sunday but after that it's up in the air. Likely starts it week 2 unless injunction is approved

The decision on the TRO still to come.

Zeke's suspension begins wk 2.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Onto the courts.

 

[camelboy]

Did you actually think HH will wipe out the 6-game suspension? The guy just said "no on .. don't throw this at me .. you go sort it out ..i don't want anything to do with this or ppl saying I am anti women"

He was never gonna put his name in the middle of this mess. so the only course for him is to upheld and let them sort it out

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

what a complete joke

The bigger joke is that Kessler uses a Blackberry and it was specifically called out in the tweet.

The facts of that case and the arguments being advanced are entirely different. Brady's case hinged upon notice, not fundamental fairness.

It's not as cut and dry as Brady's case is "precedent" so there's no avenue. And it was in the Second Circuit -- even if it were a binding decision for a case involving notice of potential punishment, it would NOT be binding on the Fifth Circuit in Texas.

I'm betting against your thesis.

 

[Lutonio]

This is no surprise for anyone. Most importantly, no surprise for Kessler, which is why they're in a hearing as we speak.

 

[Trouty]

You're on a roll, Trouty.

Sis, I'm so mad LOL

 

[Beast_from_East]

He can play Sunday but after that it's up in the air. Likely starts it week 2 unless injunction is approved

So if no injuction, he plays against the Giants and then sits practically half the season and watches

 

[Risen Star]

Not surprised at all. NFL is a joke.

It's not the NFL. Its society today. We've allowed it to get to the point where a woman's words mean more than facts.

He's suspended simply because she said he did it. Nothing more.
