Rule by Tuesday at 3 central or Zeke plays week 1

[Vero_F250]

If they don't rule by that time and then reduce to 2 games do you take it? Broncos and Cards are winnable without him IMO. Or no because it admits guilt and another strike could mean a ban?

If Zeke is truly innocent, he should fight this. Any suspension other than 0 games is an admission of wrongdoing.

The decision will come in at 2:59:59 pm

Exactly

I think there is a better shot of Kellen Moore being traded for a first round pick to the Pats to take over the starting QB duties from Tom Brady immediately than there is of the NFL not issuing a ruling on the appeal before 3PM on Tuesday.

I'm with you..he should fight it till the end. Your career shouldn't be in constant jeopardy worried any person you meet or spend any alone time with could result in you losing your career and reputation.

Same odds that the decision isn't already written.

I think they drop the 6 game DV suspension and change it to a 2 game conduct suspension

I'm not an expert on the NFL's processes, but I'm pretty sure they can't change the subject matter after the fact. They can only adjust the suspension down.

They also didn't suspend under the DV policy - it was originally the personal conduct policy, and the "physical violence" was cited in the text of the letter.

Exactly! And that sprung my question awhile back about if he's suspended in the future for actual DV, it should be considered his first time offense (meaning a baseline of 6-games, not some indefinite ban that the mediots were baiting for clicks).

NFL process is make it up as we go

Can they do that?

No NO NO. The NFL can not do this, the ruling was 6 games for DV not conduct. There is no way that they can go back to that.

 

[MRV52]

Can they do that?

No they can't.

 

[erod]

Either way, he can appeal again and try to get an injunction.

It'd be funny if he waited until end of the week so the Giants game aren't affected anyway.

Mara will implode.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

The NFL pretty much can do what it wants here based on the CBA. They can knock it to 2 and rescind the DV qualification if they want. They can keep it at 6. They can rescind the suspension altogether.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

He needs to rule asap so Zeke can file another appeal.

He can't file another appeal. You only get one appeal
