Steve Zissou is helping Travis Henry?

Bill Williamson writes in the Post that “An attorney representing the Broncos running back filed a motion in U.S. District Court stating the NFL violated a temporary restraining order. The order was to prevent the league from testing a second Henry urine sample after the first one came back positive for a ‘negligible amount’ of marijuana.”
Attorney Steve Zissou’s motion asks that the case be returned to the Supreme Court of the State of New York from the federal court so the judge whose order Zissou says was violated can determine sanctions against the league.”
Zissou’s motion states the case never belonged in the federal court and the violation of the temporary restraining order is further reason to have it sent back to the state court. The NFL requested the case be moved to federal court, contending it involves national labor laws because of an agreement between the league and the players union regarding the substance abuse program.
“We are confident we will prevail,” said Zissou when reached for comment after the motion was electronically filed in the Eastern District of New York on Wednesday.
