Sports legal expert Daniel Wallach got little sleep Thursday night and Friday morning.
At about 2 a.m. Dallas time, Wallach was the first to tweet a link to the 31-page petition filed by the NFL Players Association in the U.S. District Court's Eastern District of Texas on behalf of Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott.
Wallach, a board certified attorney in appellate practice and shareholder of Fort Lauderdale-based Becker & Poliakoff, P.A., spent several hours tweeting out key components of the petition, and his opinions about the still-developing Elliott legal case.
By the time he spoke to The Dallas Morning News mid-morning Friday, Wallach was running on fumes but not short on opinions about what he labeled the NFL's "apparent Keystone Cops-style charade" handling of the Elliott investigation and six-game suspension of Elliott meted by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
