So no arrests but again, it doesn't matter to the NFL. Hate to say "I told you so" to 90% of the users here who were flaming myself and a few others for expressing concern with Zeke's pattern of behavior.

But hey "he's just a kid, no need to worry". Any doubts I had of him not getting suspended are out the window. I almost guarantee everything he has done up until now, not even including the DV incident, will be considered "conduct detrimental to the league".

Hate me for this but I'm po'd as hell at Zeke and I honestly think a suspension or some form of punishment is necessary at this point. I've said that before, maybe this could have been avoided if thr NFL did do something earlier.

This isn't on Mara, or Goodell, or the Giants season ticket holder in charge of the investigation. This is 1,000% on Zeke. I don't care if he threw a punch or not, he's continuously putting himself in these situations and not only is he hurting himself but the team and fans.

I've just about had it with him. I would love to hear the excuses for him now. I bet Jerry is scrambling to hire Dez's old babysitters.

I hope to God he didn't knock anyone out and that is just rumor otherwise that will be 6 games. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.........what an IDIOT! Whoever got mad at me for calling him a dunce, I stand by it. Unbelievable. Seriously, I had hoped the investigation and top incident would keep him in check but apparently not, he's a fool and a liability.

Heard 2 games in the radio but then they said 6 games possible also... so this might be a real chance? 6 games is gonna hurt us bad.

Most of the people upset about the investigation were upset about what was supposedly being investigated. The original investigation with his ex, should have been closed. However, if the league kept him under a microscope because of the pattern of behavior he was showing I honestly couldnt argue NOW. While there were minor incidents only, he has been popping up in the news consistently for the wrong reasons. I have been adamant about him being falsely accused of DV based on the evidence made public. However, at the same time myself, like many others upset about the investigation have also pointed out Zeke has established a pattern of questionable decisions and that is a concern. This is probably the most significant development in the Zeke conduct detrimental to the league case. If true, I wouldnt argue a suspension one bit. Its flat out immature and stupid. I have been concerned about his decisions since the marijuana dispensary pictures but hoped he wouldnt continue to push it until it came to this point.

I agree that he will not get suspended for the domestic violence because if they had anything he would have been suspended by now. I think the league is saving face by using the St. Patrick's Day incident along with other stuff that has not been released yet to suspend him for a couple of games.

Well, now that he's been involved in a bar fight, I'm leaning more towards suspension. :(

Not to mention a civil lawsuit. Unless this guy is a Cowboys fan, Zeke is facing a suspension and handing over some chedda!

Zeke signed for 24.9 million with a 16.3 million signing bonus. I think he got the 16.3 when he signed which means there is 8.6 million for game day checks. He signed for five years. Therefore a single game day check is about 143333. I wonder if he gets suspended and starts missing his huge game day checks that might affect his behavior at all. Usually when something hits you hard in your pocket book it gets your attention. Hopefully he will start maturing and quit putting himself and by default the team in such bad situations. Thoughts. Go Cowboys

Sorry guys. I divided by twelve the first time instead of sixteen which is the number of games in regular season. Therefore his game day check is 107,500 per game.

Unfortunately with young pro athletes, (given free rides on everything through college) hitting them in the pocketbook does not seem to provide a relative change in their behavior. I think some players just have it in their nature to test the boundaries and it compounds exponentially for millionaires around the age of 20.

Six games for what? It isn't domestic violence.

Assault combined with his other questionable behavior that they deem "detrimental to the league". Read my latest post. I'm not saying I agree with it, just what they'll do. Pure guess, being my pessimistic self.
