Zeke wins again

robbieballs2003 : 10/17/2017 7:48 pm
BREAKING: Ezekiel Elliott wins another temporary restraining order--this time from a NY federal judge. He should be good to go on Sunday.
This is a mess

Everyone looks bad
Neutering Goodells power.

Who devised the CBA?
Frick, and Frack?
Chick, and Chuck?
Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe?
I.Flessum?
MultiBillion $$$ industry...you'd think they'd pick a firm that'd work for more than $100 a day and a box of donuts.
And they lawyers for the Union are only slightly better.

EE will be retired by the time this thing is resolved.

Jerruh can't take it like a man and let his boy 'Boys suffer. And neither can they:
Hardy: whupassed a woman
Gregory et al can't stay away from substances
A few DUIs get cleared
Zeke kills a baby in the belly and order another one aborted, with a little whupassing a woman as a side order of his butthole menu.

Here is what is wrong with the entire process...

and why the NFL looks like shit every time...
The NFL is trying to be the judge and jury before the player actually gets in front of a real judge and jury. They are imposing penalties even before a player is found guilty. Essentially ... if accused, you get suspended.

If they would just wait and see what the courts decide in these things, THEN come over the top with an NFL suspension, they would not have these problems.

I don't agree. The NFL has a lot at stake and they have to protect their brand and sponsors. They have no obligation to wait for the court system. Elliot also isn't being fired he's being suspended, huge difference.
Wrong.

The collective bargaining agreement.....should relegate all these "renegade" judges....null and void.

But judges want to change laws....not follow it.
These guys also pay their victims off

so in those cases you are asking the employer to turn a blind eye. Not saying it always happens but it definitely does happen.

In retrospect the timing of this whole thing stinks all the way around  
pjcas18 : 10/17/2017 8:31 pm : link
and is very suspicious.

Almost makes you think the NFL is complicit.

A few weeks before the start of the season the suspension is announced. this allows the NFLPA enough time to appeal and for the appeal to be heard and an injunction to be applied on the suspension.

the NFL appeals the injunction and the judge takes 5 weeks to issue a decision, until conveniently the Cowboys are starting their bye week and the injunction is vacated and suspension reinstated immediately - during the Cowboys bye week. This allows the NFLPA enough time to file an appeal and for the appeal to be heard and of course the injunction is reinstated. They don't take 5 weeks this time and didn't take 5 weeks to hear it before the season. Too convenient.

he'll play all season if he's even suspended at all.
Couple of ironies from a Giant fan's perspective:  
Big Blue Blogger : 10/17/2017 9:09 pm : link
1) It now looks as though EE could very well miss the second DAL-NYG game.

2) With the Giants probably something like 3-9 at that point, they might be better off, long-term, if he plays.
This is a farce.  
Beezer : 10/17/2017 9:18 pm : link

Can only hope it gets pushed to the end of the season now and it screws them. Will serve the whole franchise right.

Fuck Jerry. Fuck Elliott. Fuck the Cowboys andtheir asshole fans.

I don't understand the point of the CBA  
Big Rick in FL : 10/17/2017 11:41 pm : link
If they can just challenge the ruling and continue playing. Whatever I hope Zeke continues to play. The Cowboys are certainly better with Zeke playing, but they aren't a team that can win the Super. Bowl. So Zeke will play they'll most likely miss out on the playoffs and end up with a pick around 20th overall. That's fine by me. If Zeke got suspended they'd probably end up picking closer to 10. So Giants fans shouldn't complain especially since our season is already over.
Zeke is a piece of shit

FatMan in Charlotte : 10/18/2017 8:31 am : link
it ends up like Brady and he doesn't serve it until next year. The Cowboys aren't going anywhere this year, so better to derail next year's start.

Plus, Zeke now thinks he's invincable which is good for us as Giants fans and disgustingly bad for women who cross his circle.
I understand that  
I Love Clams Casino : 10/18/2017 8:36 am : link
the suspension is blocked for now, but what about the original incident?

This has become more about the suspension than anything else.

What's going on with the woman he beat? Did she press charges? Is there a pending case for that?

How exactly does it screw the Cowboys this year if he goes the entire season without being suspended?

Maybe the NFL

The NFL is proposing to doc him 37.5% of his pay for this year. The courts owe him an appropriate review of the league's ability to do that under the collective bargaining agreement. Sorry if it interfere's with your desire to see him miss certain games.

Completely wrong on every count. The CBA covers disciplinary rulings by the commissioner. The players gave him full authority. It's the judges that are wrong and other judges have already said so.
I would think..

Yeah, I know. So what? Take your lumps. Or if a team wants to employ them, that team should take the PR backlash. They do it all the time with questionable players -- as long as they think the guy will help them win, they've shown over and over that they'll take the heat.

And if the legal process determines a guy has paid, or owes no debt to society, the NFL shouldn't be taking away that player's livelihood, or be on the hook to hand out justice.

Even when the legal process fails, and guys who are pieces of shit walk free, how does the NFL square that circle by suspending them a few games? What does that prove? It's not like these suspensions make everything OK. How does suspending Rice or Elliot undo what they did?

Rice punches a woman and gets two games.
Brady allegedly deflates footballs and gets four games. Would he have only received two games had he punched the air out of the footballs?

It's too arbitrary. It's a no-win for league, player, or fan. And they'll keep doing it anyway, because the NFL gets EVERYTHING wrong.

Brady was not suspended for deflating footballs. But the disciplinary process for the NFL is a train wreck.
