I agree with others on here. If Zeke had simply kept his nose clean...I think this goes away.

Yeah, we can spit, cuss, and blame the Goodell/Mara/Friel conspiracy (which I am starting to believe has some merit), but Zeke is to blame too.
That's the dumbest concept I've seen posted, regardless of where it originated.

The police said the girl was lying.

How do you keep your nose clean in terms of being falsely accused?

Early leaks of rumored 6 games a chance for NFL to see what the reaction is? Entire investigation seems weird and dragged out. Additionally, I think it's ridiculous for any player to be suspended and never charged with a crime but NFL can basically do what they want, unfortunately.
It happened to Ben Roethlisberger.

Don't expose a girls breast in public. Don't be 5 ft away from a guy who got knocked out with missing witnesses and victims. Don't walk into a weed shop. Don't text about beating drug tests.

Don't get caught pulling down a girl's top on a party float. Don't get speeding 100 mph. Don't find yourself in a situation where you or a member of your party knocks out a guy at a bar.

Amazing how this stuff didn't seem to happen to guys like Witten or Tryon Smith when they were rookie and 2nd year players in the league.

IF he did something let him pay the price, if it's another politically influenced sentence it will be difficult to digest. I am in agreement that he has been playing fast and loose with the fringes of NFL conduct.

Wow is all I can say....

IMO this is not a good look for the NFL. What evidence do they have that law enforcement does not? More made up lies by his crazy ex?

Well, at least we will now see if Jerry will really try and fight this or not.
This is the damnedest thing I've seen in a while.

Mike Florio, Cris Carter, all these media outlets are pushing the story hard of a suspension, today upping the ante to six games.

Meanwhile, Jerry and the Cowboys are insisting that no suspension is coming.

This must be a serious standoff in the background. I suspect threats are flying.

Fascinating, but confusing as can be.

IIRC He was put on the exempt list, where he still got to collect a salary. But yea, he was "suspended" in terms of not being able to play.
Yes, he did get paid; nevertheless, there seemed to be zero actual proof that he did anything.

Its clear the league didnt have the ammunition on this allegation alone. Had Zeke not continued to stay in hot water the league wouldnt have been able to roll this all up under one pretty "conduct detrimental" package.

You all know what is likely to happen right? Now that it's leaked he probably is getting a suspension, the league will drag this out until next week to officially announce the punishment making the Cowboys and Elliott twist even more now.
Lol yes that's what you do...you make the players sweat and contemplate their actions lol

There are countless pics on the internet of Gronk with his hands all over women. No suspension.

Josh Huff was caught with guns, had altercations, some drug allegations last year. No suspension.

Josh Brown beat his wife senseless for years. One game.

Pacman just committed yet another offense recently after a career of them. Nothing.

There is zero consistency.

Should have never been reinstated, plain and simple. You said it, he did prison time for KILLING someone. Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right.
Bold is a silly statement lol. I'm just messing with you but I don't think I've ever heard it used except when talking about people making more than the avg person. I never hear that used for folks working a fast food job. Also who ever says these said jobs are a privilege? That's why I don't like the saying but again just messing with you because I dislike the saying.

Well, I'm one of those blind homers that think we'll win it all every year. What can I say...lol

I actually bet $100 -$200 every year at a sports book for us to win the super bowl, so in actuality the Zeke suspension (and others) should push the odds down to 15 or 20-1, makes me look real smart in November/December if we get through this, then not so smart if we get knocked out early...lol.


$200 X 22 years = $4400 ouch. :(

I tend to agree with this.

I could live with the league giving him a huge fine or even say a one game suspension for some of this stuff. But 6 would be ridiculously heavy handed IMO (again barring new info that comes out and shows he was a lot worse than we know off the field).

Even if Zeke is suspended people...he will push his appeal to right before the season and he will be playing indefinitely.

This is not even factoring in the obvious legal battle that is ahead of this.

This is not over if he is suspended...it's just beginning.

I think Hardy, Ro McClain, Brent, Gregory, and all the other suspensions are playing into this, too.

Not fair to Zeke, but certainly takes away from Jerry's argument.

How long does he have to file the appeal?
