Mortensen: Elliott Suspension Upheld **merged**

[windward]

Fisher is such a blowhard. He was all over Twitter slapping everyone down with Article 46 and now he's pretty clearly riding shotgun in Zeke's jockstrap.

Literally only worth quoting because he's physically present at the court. Not a good follow for substance, otherwise.

Totally agree.

 

[FLCowboyFan]

The case is weak at best. The lead investigator says she wouldn't have recommended suspension and wasn't given a chance to make her case. Doctors questioned the bruising metadata dates. But still they uphold the ruling to suspend a player who wasn't given due process. Why does this seem like a railroading? The NFL can not be trusted to investigate these types of cases. They have a result in mind before they actually investigate.

Come on courts...step in and show these clowns that there is a power bigger than the NFL

Mara's Giants are 2-0 with Zeke in the lineup..

Gtho with that bulljive, Quest.

Mara/Goodell's Giants are gonna be 0-1 after this Sunday night. They have to cheat to win.

Disgusting disgusting disgusting

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

If it drags out that long.

This is bull **** but at least we have him for game 1.

There isn't enough evidence and yet we lose our stud, perhaps next year. Next year could be just as important, or more, than this year.

**** the NFL

I'm sure Zeke will lose eventually too. That's just the way it is. Can't beat the system. The NFL is so corrupt . They don't even try to hide it.

 

[Cowboys22]

That's huge if the judge actually stated this case is not like Brady's. I'd love to hear more from him on that.

A BLACKBERRY? what in the HELL? We're a middle class family in Grand Rapids, Michigan and if I gave either of my kids a Blackberry they'd probably tell me 'thanks, but no thanks.' That's if they've ever even seen one. What a clown show this league is.

funny thing is cell phones were not allowed in the court room but a BB was

Adjuca....WAT?
Speak english. This is twitter and we are football fans not trail lawyers.

Adjudication is to make a formal judgment or decision about a problem or disputed matter.

Sneaky bastids:

Not sneaky...lying.

 

[fredp22]

On one hand it seems excessive but on the other we don't know anything about what really happened and 2 group of people felt it was deserved.
My question is now what happens when Zekes lawyers start their lawsuits against the NFL. Will the suspension go on the back burner again?

 

[ConstantReboot]

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

But this is a DV case. Not a code of conduct.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Gtho with that bulljive, Quest.

Mara/Goodell's Giants are gonna be 0-1 after this Sunday night. They have to cheat to win.

Disgusting disgusting disgusting

I hope so too, I picked the cowboys 27-24 with a late bailey fieldgoal

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Mara's Giants are 2-0 with Zeke in the lineup..

Then why are you so worried?

 

[Fizziksman]

I find it petty and childish to continue to put the blame on Mara or that the league is out to get the Cowboys....

while Mara does hold significant amount of influence towards Goodell, you are right in the sense that this about going after the Cowboys. This about going after the NFLPA and getting as much leverage as possible to get an even more favorable CBA for the owners.

 

[Trouty]

Lets say the judge grants an Injunction,what the next step for Elliot and his lawyers?

Play mother ******* football

 

[remdak]

Boom!

Zeke's lawyers don't know the difference between conscious and conscience. SMH

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

So the NFL will allow him to play on their opening Sunday night matchup? Ratings play? What a joke I hope the NFL gets abused in court for unfair labor practices.

 

[Jarv]

Mara's Giants are 2-0 with Zeke in the lineup..

Hopefully you'll be 0-2 in your opinions

 

[popp1234]

This could be good:

I see it as the opposite.

 

[reddyuta]

Assuming all the reports are true then I do not see how Zeke is not awarded the TRO. The Judge is all up in the NFL's business and has no problem dragging the truth out of them.

My understanding is that the Zeke team has to prove unfair process by the NFL to come up with the ban,its the only way they can win.

 

[JW82]

I hope this leads to some serious changes. Get the league office out from under Mara's dictatorship.
