Maybe that's why Jones made his comments earlier this week about not seeing any reason to suspend Zeke.

 

[EST_1986]

He's right, if he starts losing the current Mount Rushmore of NFL Owners he's toast

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Absolutely right.

Goodall should be in trouble if he suspends Zeke.

Will never see how this has dragged on for well over a year now...

The NFL should be embarrassed...

If Zeke was suspended over this, then 50% of the NFL could be suspended over similar stuff.

And it would open up the blackmail market against players ten-fold.

Zeke's been an ornery child this past year, but he hasn't done anything suspension worthy yet. Period.

Excellent point.

Although I'm saying this from my older self and not my 22-year-old self, I would document EVERYTHING in my relationships, constantly getting affirmation from any girl I'm with that they are having a good time and everything is fully consensual. Even to the point of installing cameras in my house in every room under the guise of both security and to protect me from anything false. I think it would also remind me that I have to be responsible,

You wanna hang with a superstar - fine you play by my rules.

I'm convinced - the now me would do it.

The only reason this investigation has gone on this long is because Goodell is banking on Zeke screwing up enough to make a suspension stick. It's an even-money bet.

IMO it is past time for Jerry and the other owners to raise that pimp hand and smack the crap out of Goodell.

In an odd way, I like this suspension possibility hanging over Zeke's head. Might help keep him somewhat in line.

He's a suspension waiting to happen.

TC has started, Zeke is focused on football. He will be fine. People will have their opinions, suspension waiting to happen or not some just want that drama and crap for whatever their reason is.
Me, I am just glad football is back, and thought all that would be on the back burner for now. but guess not.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Wow. This is still going on?

This is the classic definition of a witch hunt. No one cares about what Zeke did, because he didn't do it.

 

[pugilist]

i think they're done with the DV case and are now in the process of investigating the bar fight where Zeke allegedly punched the DJ.

Even though DPD has dropped the investigation due to uncooperative witnesses / victim, the NFL (Friel) is doing their damndest to get something to stick so they can suspend Zeke

I think the owners dont even want Goodell to have this kind of power anymore.

As much as it pains me to do so, I beg to differ. When it comes to the "conduct unbecoming of an NFL employee" clause, they could easily take two games away from him and I'd guess little backlash would result.

That said, I'm at work so I can't watch Shannon's video and am not aware of the reasons why not. But the NFL has suspended players for less than the collection of issues Zeke has been involved in.

I wouldn't like it, but I'd understand and hope and pray he learns from it.

 

[Miller]

Shannon is Painful to listen to but he's right. Goodell has already made enough mistakes as it is. If the league wasn't making so much money he would have been gone long ago.

 

[crashintonickdm]

Amazing how he has this job. He literally can't speak

 

[Alexander]

Can someone summarize for me?

I would rather not listen to Shannon Sharpe's mush mouth try to explain it to me.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I think you fine Zeke and everyone is happy. RG and the whining owners get a punishment, JJ gets his player, and Zeke gets off with a few bucks out of his pocket instead money and playing time.
