NFL Lock Of The Week: Players Will Lose Their Disciplinary Appeals
Take Paul Clement minus anything.
Dallas Cowboys Fans See Judicial Conspiracy In Elliott Ruling
They've kind of got a point, too.
Morning Docket: 10.31.17
* Skadden's role in helping Paul Manafort's client justify imprisoning political rivals managed to make its way into his indictment, presumably welcome publicity for the firm's "authoritarian abuses" practice. [Law.com] * Speaking of Paul Manafort, when he got indicted, Fox News aired a segment on cheeseburger emoji. For all time, the cheeseburger emoji will express, "I'm willfully ignoring embarrassing reality." As in: "how did your date go? [Eggplant]?" Response: "[Cheeseburger]!" [Vox] * Are haunted houses liable for scaring visitors? [USAToday] * Ezekiel Elliott's 6-game suspension will begin this weekend after Judge Katherine Polk Failla denied his preliminary injunction motion. Adjust your fantasy lineups accordingly. [SB Nation] * PepsiCo hopes its choice of a new generation, David Yawman, stays in his general counsel position. Though after going through four general counsel in five years, you have to wonder if maybe the problem isn't the person filling the job. [Corporate Counsel] * Dodd-Frank's CEO Pay-Ratio disclosure rule is about to go into force. Expect to hear a lot more about 10-Ks from mainstream media outlets. [Law360] * The 2017 Asia 50, your annual reminder that around 1 out of every 5 lawyers on Earth work for Dentons. [American Lawyer] * A primer on Halloween and the law. [Law.com]

* Hmm... I wonder if the officer who shot and killed the unarmed white lady is going to be in a little more legal trouble than any of the officers who shoot and kill unarmed black people? [Minneapolis Star-Tribune] * John McCain's excellent health care is temporarily delaying his ability to take health care away from millions. May he have the same recovery that people kicked off of Medicaid can expect. [VICE] * If you told me that R. Kelly has a Midwestern sex cult where he holds women against their will, I'd believe you. In fact, the only shocking thing to me about that statement is the modifier "Midwestern." [Buzzfeed] * James Comey is writing a book. I assume the working title is "How To Lose Friends And Alienate People." [Slate] * "Ezekiel Elliott can tote the rock tho." -- Cowboys fans who have nothing else of value in their lives. [Deadspin] * Is the decentralization of our elections a strength, or a weakness? It's weird, if you were only worried about a nincompoop like Donald Trump and his band of family idiots fixing the election, it's comforting to know that our system is too complicated for them to understand. But if you are worried about a capable global villain like Vladimir Putin, suddenly I don't feel so good. [Brennan Center for Justice] * Where does he get such wonderful toys? https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/887035702977933312
