Zeke: Court Vacates Injunction and Dismisses Case ***merged***

[Plankton]

Wow, that is amazing. The NFL gets it's way. If there isn't a strike when this contract is up I'd be amazed.

There will be a strike in all likelihood, but it won't be over this. This would be a very small part of it, because it affects very few of the rank and file.

In sports terms, the NFL is about to our 2017 season what Aaron Rodgers was about to do to us with 70 seconds left on the clock on Sunday.

From here on, the big show is all going to be happening in the Southern District of New York. Where the courts should be theoretically more favorable for the NFL. This is not good.

Theoretically?

 

[EPL0c0]

My first thought

My first thought is “Zeke...basically alone w/ nothing to do for 6 weeks”

 

[Smashin222]

No, now Garrett gets another damn excuse

I guess we'll see if we decide to tank this year by accepting the suspension. I'd rather have him fresh and mind clear for next year but hard to give up on a season this soon.

 

[John813]

Heh, well, I wonder if Alf or McFadden starts.

The district court will likely be more favorable to the NFL, but the appeals court, if it gets that far, will likely not.

 

[movaughn88]

Means the whole process is back at the start, in a new court (probably) more favorable to the NFL.

Thanks - if anyone knows the law, can the NFLPA file an injunction elsewhere or is the fat lady singing?

The season was headed in this direction anyways.

Less stress now

Play on...

 

[Direwolf63]

I guess all the pseudo-lawyers around here had it all wrong.

With this defense, the playoffs were a long shot anyways. Without Zeke, it is almost a certainty.

Get this suspension over with this year, fix this damn defense in the offseason and go for broke next year.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Some of you guys really have a hard time separating what you want to happen with what is more likely. This was the most likely outcome from the beginning, and quite frankly, I'm just glad that it won't be handing over our head next season.

 

[The Natural]

so should I pick up Morris now or..

Let's talk draft!

 

[jwooten15]

Not like we were going anywhere this year anyways.

Might as well sit out 6 games as soon as possible, stay out of trouble, and start clean with a clear head

 

[cowboyblue22]

get it over with now the don't carry in to next season

 

[Direwolf63]

Might as well sit out 6 games as soon as possible, stay out of trouble, and start clean with a clear head

And get a new DC!

 

[agk136]

This is going to be one of many items that will affect the downfall of the NFL. It shows big business has power over the average person and laws and logic do not hold true for big business and the elite.

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

 

[cowboyblue22]

well broadus can start his draft show any time

 

[Risen Star]

Just serve it and be done with it. We're not winning anything this year.
