Wallach: The NFL filed an appeal with 5th circuit appeals before the other judge ruled

Per Wallach, the NFL filed an appeal with 5th circuit appeals before the other judge rules

Just a continuation of the process. Highly unlikely the 5th Circuit overrules Mazzant's injunction.

I do believe Zeke ultimately loses and will have to sit out 6 games, probably next year. But I seriously doubt he loses here.

Rich lawyers getting richer.

This case is typical NFL. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" In this case the man behind the curtain is due process and fundamental fairness.

This process just confuses me

 

[GroundZero1970]

I just think its funny that the NFL argued that Zekes team jumped the gun and then they turn around and do it

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

As for this motion, @RXP is correct. The league doesn't even adequately address the need for expediency in the emergency stay motion. It's a vital component.

These folks are really pissing me off. Not that I can do anything about it, but it still pisses me off.

 

[ThreeandOut]

That's what I said in another tread. They are undercutting their own argument by not waiting for Mazzant to rule.

 

[GroundZero1970]

Does Manzzant have the power to issue a permanent injunction now based of the information he has?

Love the profile pic.

Agreed. I wana punch goodell in the face.

That's why lawyers make so much money. They create a system that only highly trained folks can completely understand and maneuver within.

 

[Cowboys22]

We're arguing they filed prematurely before the arbiter ruled but please except this premature filing before Mazzant rules because we're the all powerful NFL. You can't make this stuff up and have it be believed yet the NFL actually does it.

think only 5th circuit or SCOTUS can do that??

They'll lead with a citation of "irreparable harm" being done to the league if Elliott is permitted to continually play, although NFLPA attorney Harold Kessler has already shredded that argument -- stating the NFL can not now claim irreparable harm after themselves allowing Elliott the play in Week 1 vs. the New York Giants.

In other words, it can't be suddenly deemed a problem only days after the league stood in front of Mazzant and professed it wasn't.

Kessler went on to explain in his latest filing that the league stands to feel no sting by a potentially delayed suspension, whereas Elliott and the Cowboys would most definitely suffer a monumental blow. While it's not plausible the NFL will win the appeal, it is possible -- leaving the status of his 2017 season in the hands of the Fifth District Court.

If they rule in favor of Elliott, the soonest the NFL would see him sidelined would be 2018 -- if he sits at all. At this rate, it appears the league is running full speed into a brick wall.

Typical NFL. Arrogant's to the extreme. Kind of like telling your kid " Don't do what I do, Do what I Say"

There's no permanent injunction. Permanent would be the actual ruling in the case (theoretically).
