NFL: Ezekiel Elliott appeal has no chance of success

NEW YORK -- Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has no chance with his latest attempt to delay a six-game suspension for alleged domestic violence, NFL lawyers said Thursday.

I am sure this has been asked and answered.

This is only an emergency injunction for one game. What happens next week?

This is an administrative stay of the suspension, which has simply been put in place long enough to allow the appeal to be heard on the preliminary injunction next week by a 3-judge panel.

As you know, Failla did not grant the preliminary injunction. If the 3-judge panel overturns Failla's decision on appeal, the PI will be granted and will remain in place pending the appeal of the arbitrator's decision. In that scenario, Zeke will almost surely play the rest of this year. If the 3-judge panel confirms Failla's decision not to grant the PI, that's basically the ballgame and Zeke will serve his 6 games starting next weekend.

so confused

There is no bleeping way it holds up in a court of law if they suspend him for the playoffs. The letter itself specifically says 6 regular season games. (I hope the group is able to see which part of the letter I have highlighted, please LMK if it was too subtle )

EDIT: The image isn't working for me. However, it quotes the letter stating (direct quote): "You are hereby suspended without pay for six (6) regular-season games, subject to appeal."

This is what I believe will happen

Eh, that's just lawyers lawyering. So I can understand when they pull a Skip Bayless.

LOL.

The NFL is such a sham right now.

 

[Zman5]

I wonder if he's allowed to get a room at the Omni hotel.

 

[Melonfeud]

The longer this goes on, the fact that it is so stupid and so unnecessary just makes the league look worse and worse. What a voluntary clown act.

Seriously!
Did you read the copied news story @PJTHEDOORS posted back on page two?
The lawyer's for the NFL came across ( to me) sounding as trying to channel that Kevin Neeland from Saturday night Lives 'subliminal message man' desperately trying to project their cut-n-dried stance

 

[panchucko]

Goodell won't be here next year.

First order of business of new commish will be to clean this mess up

 

[pugilist]

i don't see the panel confirming Failla if they are truly hearing arguments based on the merits, but at this point who flipping knows

5CA panel overruled Mazzant only on jurisdiction, which let's be honest, the NFLPA did file too early based on the process, so that was never going to win

But, there is no legal requirement for fair dealings in labor discipline cases (At least, that is what I have read on here), so NFL can change their mind anytime they want about which games count.

Poor Alfred Morris.

I got a feeling this is going to go on all year.

Forget Alfred Morris, how about McFadden, he prob thought he was going to at least finally suit up lol.

Fantasy Football owners alone are going to hold the NFL responsible for this. It's a self-inflicted PR nightmare, and you just know Jerry's going to make a case out of this.

Boy I tell ya, I think they'd have a hard time changing the punishment when it is already assigned to Elliott and written clearly in black and white, especially since that's what they tried to do to Rice and got smacked down.

IMHO if they tried to do that, it would be a separate court case with an injunction that would be ridiculously easy to get.

It’s actually amazing to me that the commissioner thinks this is good for the league. That he’s acting in the leagues best interest. In a sport with only so few games, the headlines have been about a suspension. The talk during the games of your ratings cow is about a suspension. It’s just baffling that this case is the one Roger decided to make his stand on.

Moving the goal posts... the NFL and Goodell are very good at that

Jerry is right, he's over correcting for bungling the Ray Rice case. He's a complete buffoon and the sooner is ousted from office, the better
and his minions too, Henderson and Friel
