I was hoping Zeke would drop to me at the 10th pick of my fantasy draft because people only talk about the suspension but unfortunately we have a few Cowboy fans who knew about the case. Kind of a "duh" article isn't it!

I grabbed him with my second round pick at like 20th overall

I bet Mara got Goodell on speed dial as soon as he heard this to plan another fluke charge.

Aaron Rogers molested me. I can't prove it.

Now suspend him !!!

Can they take it to court before the ruling on the appeal?

Can they take it to court before the ruling on the appeal?

I saw in an article somewhere that they are filing court papers early just in case. This is all set up to prevent him from playing week 1.

I think it's a given that Zeke is playing week one. Now I have to wonder if that means this team keeps four running backs and a fullback going into the season?

If they do, it only tightens things up offensively.

You want to keep RICO and four TE's.

Noah Brown and 6 receivers?

And it sounds like they'll stubbornly keep Kellen Moore and 3 quarterbacks.

Something's gotta give.

I got him in the 2nd of a 12 person draft. Bwuaha

He was picked 1 pick ahead of me I had pick 24 he went at 23. I almost lost my mind. Would have had DJ and Zeke

Yawn, we'll be fine with or without him. He obviously didn't cause us to beat the Gnats last year.

I got him in the third round. All the guys I play fantasy football with just mark it up to being a Cowboy homer (which I definitely am). I just couldn't pass him up in the third. I considered taking him in the second.

Let the gnashing of teeth begin in N.Y.!!!

He did didn't just drop to me at 10. He was there after I grabbed AJ Green at 15th. Suckers lol.

I'd say common sense will prevail and it's Moore.
