I hope that NY Judge is not a Giants fan

This is still going on.....Zeke will be through his first contract and another team by the time this gets settled.

If he has to go read Brady, this doesn’t sound too good. Didn’t the courts rule in Brady that the league can do whatever it wants?

The NFL filed in SDNY after arbitration decision, but what was their reason for filing?

The NFL won the arbitration, why did they need to file?

The NFLPA filed early per CA5. Wouldn't the logical course be for the NFLPA to refile with the district court in Sherman?

I honestly hope the Cowboys never draft a running back in the 1st round ever again, its not worth it. I honestly dont think Elliott will see a second contract here, not because of legal issues, but I think he'll show signs of slowing down by that point.
The FO needs to be smart, draft rb in the later rounds and use them and abuse them until their rookie contract is up.

Tony and Emmitt were pretty decent.

Zeke should've hired Bob Loblaw.

I dont like the sound of this, but I have no idea what Im talking about also.

Yea, back then running backs were a lot more valuable, it's a passing league now. We dont need a dominant running game, a respectable one will do.

There is a legal principle called the "first to file" rule, by which courts hearing essentially the same lawsuit will defer to the first one filed. After the CA5's dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, the NFL's suit in NY to enforce its arbitration decision is now the "first filed." Thus, the NFLPA is unlikely to refile in Texas.

I like this Wallach guy.

His tweets have been very informative throughout this entire, painful process.

That they have.

But on the other end, they have inspired a whole lot of hope that is based on common sense, in a case that probably will be devoid of any at the end.

I think he already got Barry Zuckercorn.

that was the ruling from the 5th circuit a year after Brady was granted preliminary injuction

i think it was 2014??

[dogberry]

Does the NFL routinely file in federal district courts to enforce arbitration decisions?

Tell that to Linehan

i don't remember the exact chronological details of Brady, but i know for sure that the NFL initially handed down the suspension, then Brady appealed and won (injuctive relief), and the case was litigated a year later in the 5th circuit and they ruled in NFL's favor and THEN he was truly suspended

in Zeke's case currently, litigation is still at the injuction process, not merits

Tony and Emmitt were pretty decent.

Not to mention several others with rings and/or destined to go/already in the HOF....
