Oral Argument for Zeke case scheduled for Thursday

[CowboyStar88]

You don't even have to be in the court room to know the judges smell the bs the league has been cooking up.

This won't be a good look for the NFL

 

[Doomsday]

Losing all guaranteed money plus $800k in salary, not to mention his reputation etc. That has to be irreparable harm.

Shouldn't be a rush, give the man his day in court.

can we just skip to the part where Goodell and Friel are made to testify??

I can't wait to see their worlds burned down in front of their faces

Hopefully Roger's boss gives him the day off for his testimony

I'm sorry Roger, but there's nobody else to run this register... Chop chop!

 

[HungryLion]

Omg please please please give the injunction.

All of that sounds good so far.

Sounds CLEAR the judges will side with Zeke on the irreparable harm.

As long as they think Zeke has a “chance”
To win on the merits, than he gets this injunction.

PLEASE HAPPEN.

i LOVE that the NFL screwed themselves over by allowing him to play week 1

And it helped torpedo Mara's favorite toy.

for those wondering why Zeke showed up to every hearing:

 

[Sydla]

Two things.

First, as I said a week ago, the league not only is arrogant but also stupid. They seem, at times, unprepared as to how to handle some curveballs thrown their way. Letting Elliott play Week 1 was a clear screw up and completely undercut any argument they are making where they say it is vital Elliott serve his suspension ASAP>

Secondly, that little bomb by the judges about how they suspend Elliott on "credible evidence" probably knocked the wind out of the NFL. That was a doozy.

I wish there was a love button for this post.

Any lost salary or bonuses that can be quantified would, by definition, not be irreparable harm since they could be compensated by a monetary damage award.

Zeke’s argument for irreparable harm lies partly in the reputational damage and partly in lost opportunities for endorsements that cannot be quantified.

As well as, missing games which could negatively impact his and his teams chance of making the playoffs. Which also cannot be quantified because they literally will never get those specific games back.

The league hasn't really pretended to be be fair. Their entire argument is that they can do what they want because of Art. 46.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

It sure would be nice for the league to lose the judge roulette game for a change at the appellate level.

 

[Sydla]

Sure, but even still, a competent organization would still try to follow some sort of consistent procedure and make decisions that won't undercut themselves down the road.

And yet, at almost every step, the NFL has bungled this thing.

Not to mention possible playoff aspirations for him, the team, and the other players on the team. They only have a limited amount of shots at winning a Super Bowl. This season could be Witten's last.

 

[Thomas82]

they took 14 months to do the investigation (obviously they weren't in a hurry). now all of a sudden they want everything expedited??

That's exactly what it was.
