No. He's defending his name and his honor.
If he's right and righteous, this is what he should do.

What is done is done. Goodell have supreme rights and say so under the CBA. He can fight all he want but in the end he will be suspended.

Put yourself in those shoes. How would you like being accused, blamed and given the ban hammer on something you didn't do?
Also this is something that's going to make everyone out there hate you...

You did it? Okay.
You didn't do it- I would fight you physically until I can't move any longer over it and I have no idea how big you are to prove myself.

I personally would go full-on nuclear to clear my name, if they were calling me something so heinous as a woman beater when I did no such thing.
The NFL can go to Hell.

Right. This is what makes the Elliott case so unique. With no charge and no concrete proof, the NFL cannot label him anything. Nor do they have grounds to suspend him for violating the Personal Conduct Policy.

If I were Zeke, I would also pursue defamation of character charges against the NFL.

It's a man's life at stake here. Not his survival, but his ability to live his life as a person not persecuted every day of his life (too late already) until he has his Big Sleep.

I say it over and over: he did it? I have no sympathy.
He didn't? Fight this with everything you have, even if it gets down to fists.

Remember Duke Lacrosse.

And I'm going to win the Texas Lottery tomorrow. Do you believe me? I just had some custom made toilet paper that says article 46 on it.

Just get the suspension over with. This season is lost. Regroup in the offseason, prioritize finding a QB if you don't believe Rush is capable. Don't mess up next season too with this suspension.

Correct.

I mean, I'd like to super kick Goodell's face off but he has the power to do this. This is merely delaying the inevitable.

You actually think a 1-1 season is lost?

If you didn't beat a chick, would you accept a kangaroo court saying you beat her?

Yes, I do. I thought they were done at 0-0. It's about preparation and this team isn't prepared to make a run at anything but a top 10 pick in the draft.

Too many distractions. Too many "injured" (lazy) players, too coddled by the head coach. They aren't winning anything this year.

you actually believe that he can decide say that Brady murdered the Kennedys and suspend him for six games, and the the court can do nothing about it?

If Brady was accused or involved in something that violated NFL rules. He can be punish by Goodell regardless of merit of case after the NFL does it "due process".

I thought it was just me. I just can't seem to "get into" watching games this year. Cowboys games are the only ones I watch start to finish anymore.
I got the same feeling. It really doesn't feel the same this year. For one thing, The games have been terrible. Last night was actually the first game I enjoyed watching. But you're not alone.
