Let me see if I have this straight:

Zeke's suspension was suspended, but that suspension was suspended so Zeke is currently suspended. Did I get it right?

No he's appealing the NFL saying he's suspended.

Anyone who has him on their fantasy team might want to think about trading him. Dude is probably gonna end up serving his suspension during the stretch run and fantasy playoffs.

NEW YORK -- Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott has been granted another legal reprieve in the running back's fight to avoid a six-game suspension over domestic violence allegations.

A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking the league's suspension Tuesday night, clearing Elliott to play Sunday at San Francisco.

U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty's ruling comes five days after a federal appeals court overturned a Texas court's injunction that had kept Elliott on the field this season.

Crotty granted the request for a temporary restraining order pending a hearing before the presiding judge, Katherine Polk Fialla.

Crotty's ruling "ordered that, sufficient reason having show therefor, pending the hearing and determination of this motion for a preliminary injunction, pursuant to Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the NFL shall be temporarily restrained and enjoined from enforcing Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension pending further proceedings."

Elliott, last year's NFL rushing leader as a rookie, was barred from the team's facility Tuesday as players returned from their off week. The NFL placed him on the suspended list Friday, a day after the ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

With this ruling, Elliott should be on the field for Wednesday's practice.

Zeke given 2nd TRO, suspension again on hold

if this gets dragged out to where Zeke is suspended in week 16 against the Seahawks, that would be great. :dhd:

I feel like I'm in a spin cycle of a washing machine.

Can’t make this shit up. According to Kate, the temporary judge granted the TRO in order for both parties to address the permanent judge who is on vacation.

Rinse cycle.

On public evidence I think the suspension is BS and if I were in Zekes shoes I'd fight it to. Yes I understand most likely he will sit 6 games eventually, but I do think there's some Federal Judges with questions of the NFLs and Goodell power without due process.

The players and the NFL negotiated how and who had the power to decide in cases like this. Isn’t that due process?
