News: It is official! Zeke suspended 6 games **merged**

[Zordon]

Then why 6 games???? Brown got one for far worse just last season.

And also, it's been proven she was trying to get a friend to lie about it @Zordon

When there is no credible explanation for this we as fans are basically forced to believe the alternative - Giants favoritism.

 

[JohnsKey19]

but Chris Carter said he wasn't going to be suspended for DV but rather not being cooperative or something of that nature.

I'm guessing he got wind of the "harsh" punishment but his sources in the league office could not divulge details.

 

[tyke1doe]

Don't know the truth because they won't tell us. If this goes to court it should come out.

If he's not guilty, he should go to court. He has to at least fight for his reputation. Endorsements aren't coming his way if he's viewed as a woman beater.

I hope we never see the Commish in our stadium again. Jerry better never invite him.

 

[DIAF]

I understand.

But most of us don't play in the NFL.

Funny how there's an OP arguing the same thing I am, but yet everyone is throwing venom at me lol. That red title

NFL security hires exFeds.

I am a Fed. Trust me, it doesn't mean they are more qualified.

Zeke owns this completely. I couldn't care less about the NFL overstepping or the appeal down to less games. His behavior has been less than the standards the team needs for him to not hurt the team. He is a disappointment off the field thus far and hopefully he turns it around.

Yeah, I hate losing him for any games but maybe he needed this to grow up. I don't know that he's guilty of any crimes but he has shown some poor judgment. Hopefully this is his wake up call.

Still hate the way the NFL administers these things but it is what it is at this point.

Don't fool yourself CR. A quality labor attorney is not going to represent a millionaire or the player's union for free. It's really not that important to them.

There are 1 attorney out of every 300 people in the U.S. You don't have to be a quality attorney to file a lawsuit. Heck, there is nothing stopping Zeke of filing a lawsuit against the NFL he wants to.

 

[wrongway]

shouldn't you only have to be responsible for something you did?

True but no one knows if he did it. There is no doubt that he exposed a "lady" in public. They, nfl, wanted a pound of flesh and with his help they got it. Tired of talented morons.

 

[Trouty]

Are you serious?

I think he is. And he's right.

The NFL should follow a fundamental and moral right to be consistent. They're not above doing what's right. If you think they are, well then...

Whats wrong with what he said?

 

[aria]

You two should get a room. After the salary cap punishment, Josh Brown situation, the lead investigator of DV issues describing herself as a "rabid Giants fan", the handling of Brady, and Mara being one of the most influential voices on the competition committee do you really fault people for thinking this way?

Yes. I've covered this ad nauseum, not going into it again. To sum it up, I agree it stinks but as soon as people provide proof and admit that the Cowboys have been involved with sketchy behavior and stop making excuses for Zeke than I may change my mind.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I hope we never see the Commish in our stadium again. Jerry better never invite him.

I wish there was a way to block him from my TV.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Everyone has to remember that Big Ben got 6 games and charges were never filed and the league loves the Steelers!

He got 4

I guess you haven't read all the replies! LOL!

Hey, keep fighting the good fight!

 

[links18]

I'm starting to get concerned about Zek and his decision making.

Oh, no doubt. If anything, he should be suspended a game for pulling down the girl's top at the parade. That's on tape. But a six game suspension when there was no charge and there is evidence the accuser was well less than credible? That's outrageous. That will totally skew our season. We could have won another Super Bowl in 1996 (maybe) if Irvin were around those first five games--if nothing else we could have gotten HFA in the playoffs maybe. I don't doubt that if Zeke misses more than 2 games, it will negatively impact our season.

 

[robjay04]

This whole situation has really got me down on the NFL.

I bought tickets to fly to Texas to see the Rams game but now I wish I wasn't even going since Zeke may not be there.

If I didn't book the plane tickets last weekend, I would surely cancel the trip.

 

[tyke1doe]

Good.

 

[Trouty]

If you don't consider Elliott's judgement lacking... Well then.

It's not about his judgement. He was never charged in this particular matter, therefor 6 games isn't right.

We better get more info.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I think he is. And he's right.

The NFL should follow a fundamental and moral right to be consistent. They're not above doing what's right. If you think they are, well then...

Whats wrong with what he said?

Because the NFL may feel it wasn't right before and has corrected the course (according to them).

 

[theebs]

How do we know the evidence doesn't include Zeke destroying text messages?
And I do believe Carter said the suspension was related to the domestic violence charge.

they said in the pc he didnt do that. They basically said the metadata from the phone's pointed to him being with her the night she got all the bruises and his lawyer's response was that she fell down the stairs.

That is what was said in the pc today with the league and if true and he stooped to she fell down the stairs argument its tough to defend him.

they also said he wasnt charged because the police could not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and that she had made false statements on things didnt happen but that was independent of the night she was bruised apparently by him.
