Jerruh feels betrayed, as does Elliot, and the NFLPA would love another chance to curb the commissioner's infinite powers ahead of another labor impasse in 5 years. All we need is him to take it to court and a stay is all but guaranteed, in which case Elliot is still valuable from a fantasy standpoint. And that's all I care about. But the Commish's powers are all but absolute in these matters. The whole Deflategate thing bore that out. It's basically pointless to go to court unless you feel that this season is somehow more valuable than next. Or maybe the first six games are more valuable than 6 games later in the season. Either way, the suspension will be upheld unless the Ginger Hammer changes his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm hearing is that you're a lil bitch who don't want none. C'mon bud. Let's make it a title bet. I say that the suspension is stayed and Elliot plays in the first six games of the season.

I bet it gets cut to 4, but after what happened to Tommy Watermelons I bet the Cowboys front office pressures him into just signing off on the suspension. 2 hours ago, Pony Queen Jace said: Wanna bet?

Yes, the Commish's powers are all but absolute here (hence my calling him "The Emporer"). But I think the NFL's primary concern here is optics. That is, they want this to be seen as getting "tough" on a domestic abuser and not as "unfairly" disciplining a player without solid evidence. IF this goes to court and IF their evidence isn't solid then that could happen. Time will tell, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name on Steam has been Tobias Funke for ages now and I renamed a few of my most-used TF2 weapons The Analrapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
