The guy in my league has Doug Martin, Elliott, Hunt and Duke Johnson. Maybe I can muscle him a little and get Hunt in a trade.

So the decision the Court cites says that in order to get an order lifting the suspension pending his court case he has to show

 

(1) whether the movant will suffer irreparable injury absent a stay, (2) whether a party will suffer substantial injury if a stay is issued, (3) whether the movant has demonstrated a substantial possibility, although less than a likelihood, of success on appeal, and (4) the public interests that may be affected.

 

Here's what it means:  (1) Zeke does suffer irreparable injury, because if he misses games he'll never get them back if he wins.  (2) The NFL probably argued that they suffer substantial injury if the stay is issued, because stays like that undercut their authority to enforce their player contracts.  (3)  This decision may mean that the Court already has decided that there isn't a substantial possibility that Zeke will win.  After all, Brady already lost his appeal, and he had better facts.  (4)  There's no public interest in letting Zeke play.   In legal terms, that doesn't mean if the public is interested - it means are your rights and mine affected negatively if he doesn't play.   The answer to that is no.  

 

So this decision probably means Zeke loses his appeal, but that won't be decided until an expedited hearing and decision.   As someone said, Zeke has to be careful - if the Second Circuit takes four or five weeks, Zeke could miss playoff games.
