Sounds like Elliott suspension could be reduced

Good, he should get a few games for poor judgement off the field. No question there, everyone saw the video of him pulling a girls shirt down.

6 games for DV based on no evidence was always bogus.

If what they say is true and that this women was trying to set him up for this fall and their is actual physical proof to this then realistically the NFL should come clean and rescind his suspension entirely imo.

And yes maybe it's because one of my fantasy leagues has Zeke on it.

Josh McCown started the Jets' preseason finale on Thursday, playing two series.
Long tabbed for starting duties, McCown was held out all summer before some reason playing the first two series tonight. Teams almost never play their starting quarterback in the preseason finale. It was an extremely baffling decision, especially in the context of 38-year-old McCown's injury history. He was promptly injured on the second series before limping back in to finish the drive. It drove home the absurdity of the Jets' decision. The Jets are running their team like a club that wants to go 0-16. Of course, that actually is the goal, but Gang Green is being particularly flagrant about it. The Jets have the potential to be the worst offense of the modern era in 2017.

Jets winless no more vs. Eagles. They have a pre-season win.

The NFL Players Association filed a temporary restraining order in Texas calling on the courts to block any suspension upheld by NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson.
It is a preemptive lawsuit designed to challenge the appeals process arising from Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension, and to ultimately block the six-game ban from being imposed by the league should Henderson approve all or part of the suspension. Per PFT's Mike Florio, who has an attorney background, the next step will involve a battle by Elliott to win a ruling that would delay any suspension until all litigation has concluded. The goal of Zeke's camp will be to get that ruling as soon as possible so that Elliott can play in Week 1. Based on the league's to-date bungling of the situation, we would at this point bet on Elliott playing against the Giants next Sunday night.

Quote:

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill reports NFL lead investigator Kia Roberts recommended no suspension for Ezekiel Elliott.
It is notable because Roberts says she is the only NFL official who interviewed Elliott's accuser, and her recommendation was omitted from the NFL's report. Hill also reports Roberts was barred from a meeting discussing potential discipline, something the NFLPA believes was a serious flaw in the discipline process. She did testify during the appeals hearing, and her testimony among other things "improved" the likelihood Elliott's suspension is reduced or even overturned, according to Hill. Appeals officer Harold Henderson is reportedly "under pressure" to reach his decision by Monday, so hopefully we will know Zeke's fate in the next several days.

It's typical of Goodell to block anyone that actually opposes his predetermined outcome (a suspension for Elliott). It's the reason he hired Exponent for the deflategate investigation. Goodell had already deemed Brady and the Patriots guilty and needed a firm that would give him the outcome he needed, and who better than a firm that had previously said secondhand smoke doesn't cause cancer when hired by a cigarette company, that Chevron dumping oil didn't cause cancer (when Chevron's biggest stockholder was on Exponent's board), and that asbestos doesn't cause cancer. Once Goodell has made his mind up on a guilty on a verdict he's not going to allow anyone to have a different viewpoint.

Zeke's biggest issue is that if he gets an injunction to block the suspension and later loses (which is likely based on the CBA) he'll have to serve the suspension at that time, and that could potentially happen late in the season and cause him to miss the playoffs. It's definitely a risk and could backfire big time.

I think their 3's always beat our 3's, then those 3's on both teams get cut.
Those Jets are preseason warriors!

3 acl tears for the patriots this preseason. Terrible news for Cyrus jones looked like he was starting to make some good moves in the return game.

Can't wait to see all those clown towels in the season opener.

Mad props to JJ Watt for raising over $14mil for the Hurricane flood relief.
Dude is just as much a beast off the field, as he is on it!

A lot of dreams are going to die in the next 24 hours. Rough part of the NFL. It can't be easy to tell these kids that were not good enough for your team.

I can't imagine the coordination it takes to cut that many players at once and what the waiver wire will look like on this long holiday weekend.
