sott3 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 1 minute ago, CooL said: WTF? One bad game and now RW is ready to say he's a bum? I thought all the talk about this legal mumble jumble was that the motion was going to be denied, or whatever needs to happen to allow him to play the whole season. What are the odds that he has to serve the suspension this year? I thought all the legal experts were saying it was very very low. Never forget: Read RotoWorld for the news, not the analysis. Their analysis is usually written without any forward thinking and the logic doesn't follow from week to week. A guy will have a bad game and RW says he's droppable. The next week he gets a TD and they say he's an every week starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadFaceHappy Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) If they suspend Zeke this season, it will irrevocably impact people who have him on their fantasy rosters. Many people have money at stake in these leagues. I doubt it would work but the league should be held to account via class action lawsuit. Add in those that have placed bets in Vegas. F Goodell. I hope he literally ____. Painfully Edited September 22, 2017 by SadFaceHappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euphonetics Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The CA5 is going to hear argument on the jurisdiction issue. If they reverse, it goes to the SDNY where the NFL filed suit. I would be surprised if he is able to get a TRO there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck My Balls Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Why is everyone panicking? Didnt we know this for a couple weeks?

timexsocialclub Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Lawyers. Wow. Imagine having to do this for a career. Zeke was so fun to own last year. So fun.

sott3 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 We can bitch all we want, but I drafted him figuring he'd be out six games anyhow. I'd still rather he can get through this suspension prior to week 13 so he's available for fantasy playoffs. It's up to me to get my team to the playoffs without him. @WALLACHLEGAL is a good follow on Twitter about Zeke. "This is not good news for Elliott since the lack of irreparable harm should have been enough to prevail. Court obv focusing on jurisdiction."

Back at you. This is bigger than ff or Zeke. This is about a massive political machine that is strangling the life out of America's pastime and gets all sorts of kickbacks. Look up Goodell's (grand?)father. The NFL is a monopoly and enjoys tax-exempt status as a non-profit. They get multi-billion dollar stadiums (palaces) built with public funds (tax money) then leave whenever they feel like it, usually when tax payers stand up to their extortion. Oakland, St. Louis, San Diego, etc. They charge obscene amounts for tickets even when the stadiums are half full. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Sure: players choose to play and fans choose to follow. But the NFL takes an active role in gambling to the point of having their own ff platform. They make billions from people with money at stake but ignore fair dealing when it suits them. What sets me off about the Zeke thing is the arbitrary nature of their process, which boils down to "we want to suspend Zeke, have a specious reason to do so, will go through the motions of 'investigating' but will suspend him regardless. If the courts say we've done so improperly, we'll just find another court. Product be damned, we must let all the little people (including players) know that we are omnipotent." And this is exactly on keeping with larger trends in our society, especially press and politics (which the NFL is part and parcel of). I'm not going to continue with a political rant since sports used to be an avenue of escape from such things. But how much arbitrary application of law are we prepared to submit to? How much emotional distress has the constant uncertainty surrounding Zeke's situation caused? What F-ing motivation does Goodell have? Is he untouchable? Who else is? Certainly not you and I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveohnine Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Jordy was a 1st rounder who practiced fully all week and Martin will be back week 5 with no BYE left. Plus Zeke has been sucking anyway? I mean obviously this is the Zeke thread so you guys think his value is really high even with a 6 game ban looming over his head. But then there's the rest of the world. Edited September 22, 2017 by Fiveohnine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's a case where 5th Circuit would like to set precedent for a TRO/Injunction case to be submitted prior to a ruling, but then ripening due to ruling being made before the presiding judge issues his ruling on the case - thus preventing future similar emergency stays of this nature being submitted to them due to setting precedent here that the lower court does have jurisdiction.
