Need to wait for a legal expert, but basically they would have to bring new evidence or arguments to the table. This is very unlikely.
They can file the appeal and argue to keep the TRO in place until the appeal is decided, however.

Yes, can appeal. But this is the same circuit that said Goodell can rule however he wants, as long as he adheres to CBA, because the NFLPA agreed to that.

After searching Twitter broke it down here.
Basically, Zeke is done because judges will default to Brady and NFL CBA.

Hell, Morris and McFadden were owned weeks ago.

I will cross my fingers. It seemed like most of what I read thought the ruling would be in his favor tonight so who knows

Wooooohooooo, this is so awesome because:
- I play vs. the Zeke owner in Week 12
- All the Cowboy fans who cheered when Goodell railroaded Brady now get a taste of their own medicine
- Jerry Jones supported Goodell in Deflategate, and now Jerry gets a karma kick to the head

But Goodell is their pawn...sure, they can sacrifice him to the masses, but they will just get another pawn.
Goodell is perfect for the owners, he takes the blame, hate, and all of the other crap, while the owners pull his strings like a puppet.
I’ve said this for a long time. But, as I’ve said several times tonight; this whole thing has unfolded in a completely unpredictable manner. Zeke “shouldn’t” be able to win an emergency appeal to the 2nd, but the way everything has gone, who knows?

Yeah, no chance of that.
Again, NFL's backyard. Zeke would need a change of venue, which wouldn't be granted because of law.
We're currently fourth overall in the FFPC Main Event. This could cost us a bunch of money, but we drafted Zeke over Hunt at third overall because we didn't want to take a chance on the rookie, and at the time everyone was guaranteeing that Elliott would play out the year. Gambled and lost.
I know that; it’s what I’ve been saying this whole time-that the 2nd would ultimately rule against Zeke, as they had established that precedent in the Brady decision. But, I didn’t expect this decision tonight, so like I said who knows.

I own Zeke in a couple league and don't in others, so I don't have a bias 1 way or another but I gotta ask; why is it that you simply take pleasure in the misfortunes of others?Wooooohooooo, this is so awesome because:

Look, i get it... you get a small lotto ticket by not having to play zeke in week 12; but the fact of the matter is that a real life person is essentially losing his job for 6 weeks b/c of some unfounded claims against him. And someone with more power than he should felt is was necessary to dish out that punishment.
I would be going up against Zeke in a few leagues, so this helps me out there, but I still think it's a complete crock that he's suspended in the first place.
I didn’t mean I didn’t expect A decision tonight; rather, I didn’t expect THIS decision tonight. I believed this judge would show deference to the other judges decision, and wouldn’t issue a ruling that went “against” his decision from 2 weeks ago.
Why did all the Salty Haters take pleasure in Brady getting railroaded, losing his job for 4 weeks, etc?
I'm just doing the exact same thing back at them.
Maybe the Cowboys can win the SB this year, like the Patriots did when Brady got suspended.

because most fans are jealous....and they hate that the Pats continually beat their favorite teamsWhy did all the Salty Haters take pleasure in Brady getting railroaded, losing his job for 4 weeks, etc?

Maybe. I think that’s more likely than you letting it go, however.Maybe the Cowboys can win the SB this year, like the Patriots did when Brady got suspended.

So, a handful of people who acted douchey last year makes it ok for you to act like one now?Why did all the Salty Haters take pleasure in Brady getting railroaded, losing his job for 4 weeks, etc?
I'm just doing the exact same thing back at them.
I understand these are internet forums and trolling it a part of the internet, but c'mon man...let it go
Who doesn't enjoy it when douchy Salty Haters get a taste of karma? It's fantastic!
I think I can let this Zeke suspension go in about 6 weeks.

Finally. And I'm a Cowboys fan. Sorry, but I know a little something about unfortunate decisions by arbitrators and judges, and eventually you just have to deal with them. The players collectively bargained for the authority of the commissioner concerning discipline and for arbitration to provide the vehicle for appeals. It does sound like Elliott got an overlong suspension and a bit of a hatchet ruling from this arbitrator, but that happens. Serve the suspension already and stop being a vexatious litigant. Sorry for everyone's fantasy team, but hopefully you all made contingency plans long ago, as far back as draft day.
Haha, I'm pretty sure a lot of Salty Haters are douches in RL, and aren't just acting.

Cowboys fan here. I'm glad the suspension was upheld. I know we're talking about more than football here, but there's no way Zeke was getting out of it.
My fear was having to serve it next season when Dallas has a better chance of making the Super Bowl. With the right draft picks & FA moves, the Cowboys are going to be really tough to beat next year with everyone on board.
I'd MUCH rather get it out of the way this season & give us a better chance at home field advantage next year when we'll be better (at least on paper).
