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

[pugilist]

NFLPA reaching out to national media

 

[joseephuss]

Don't know if this is a fact or not but on Inside the NFL Boomer E made the comment that the alleged DV occurred even before EE signed his pro contract with the cowboys.... That said if true, it at least appears to me that they took into account " allegations" of conduct when
he was a private citizen, and then to me only subject to the true court system and not the NFL policy.

Anyone else hear that, or have an opinion if indeed those are the facts...

I believe Dallas signed Elliott in May 2016 and these incidents allegedly occurred in July.

1. NFL questionably suspends Elliott.
2. NFLPA, on behalf of Elliott, sues the NFL to vacate the suspension.
3. Because litigation takes a while, they simply asked, initially, for an injunction to "pause" everything until its sorted out in court. It was granted.
4. The NFL, now, has tried to file an expedited appeal to attempt to overturn the injunction and force the suspension even before the case is litigated, citing irreparable harm.

There are fundamental problems with the NFL's stance, but I can get into those later when I'm not terribly busy at work and taking 5 mins to check in here, lol.

5. NFL want this case in New York at all cost

He was subject to their rules once he went to Draft Combine and definitely when drafted

The fact that the NFL ignored the findings from the lead investigator and withheld it is a very serious problem the NFL will face in front of any court. CBA is not a cover to abuse the rights of any employee.

This is my thought as well

If the courts feel that the NFL is abusing their power, Zeke may be the least of their worries.

I think this is a bigger issues and I'm not sure the NFL realizes it yet. I think the judge laid that out in his ruling last week. As Jerry said this is nothing like the Brady case, and I think the NFL knows that. But what other choice do they have? They have to double down and at least show they're trying to be tough even though this isn't the case to do it with. I think the NFLPA, Zeke and the Boys have a legit shot at this.

Yes I heard that and often thought this. But I guess they go by the allegations or when it happened was after the draft. Regardless when he signed his contract, I guess he is under NFL rules. Don't sound right, but not sure why no one is really addressing this.

Other players drafted this year, they said it happens in college so no punishment. Others they did not comment on, like Lewis, his was in college, but they never said it had no bearing. Jist another double standard against Dallas.

Dan Graziano knows nothing.

Also the headline on the ticker is wrong because no judge has made any decision.

They are subject to the rules once they go to the combine or get drafted

RGregory's first failed drug test was at the Combine

 

[jazzcat22]

That was the first time I heard anyone on BSPN say that it is possible Zeke can win and serve no time.
Usually they are the mouth piece of the NFL Fo and say he will serve it at some point.

The NFL is hanging its entire case on the Brady case, which is nothing at all like this case.
It is comparing apples and rotten apples...rotten as Goodell and his idiots are.....

Yep, that video is ESPN disinformation propaganda. I think the folks posting that crap think they are helping further the conversation but it just dirties the water and that is ESPN's intent.

When is the ruling on the stay supposed to come down?

It looks like the hearing is set for Sept 25th........who knows how long after that for the decision but probably a week

 

[sacase]

The 5th Circuit said the NFLPA brief has to be in by 9/25/17. So We have Zeke until at least week 3. Other than Mazzant ruling, nothing is going to happen until after that date.

Is that a hearing or when briefs are due from the NFLPA responding to the NFL's request?

 

[NorthTexan95]

In a he said / she said case, we don't have a way to know exactly what happened. However, we do know that the girl is a liar and the only question is how much did she lie about. We also know the NFL lied.
