The offense is predicated off a strong running game which is aided by a strong offensive line. While Zeke will get more yards than Morris and Mc, Morris has shown he can get credible returns with this line (70 yard run, remember) and Mc is solid.

If Arizona had planned differently and weakened the run defense, Morris (who's no mug) would have feasted.
A 70 yard run and what else. Morris does not equal Zeke.

Sports stopped being about winning and team, and became more about individuals and fantasy sports.

I could write 100 pages on what's wrong with sports today.

It's gotten boring and poor quality. That's the biggest problem.
ESPN started to die when they forgot about sports and got political, is the NFL far behind when they are forgetting about football and getting political.?

I’ll watch this weekend to hear Romo, but after that I think I’m just about done with the NFL for a bit. Such a joke

Roger Goodell has ruined football for me.. Such a shame

Elliott averages 4.8 yards per carry, Morris averages 7. And I never said he was Zeke, I said the running game won't suffer too much and that if Zeke had been suspended at the beginning of the year the Cowboys would still be 4-3 and we'd have Zeke heading into the harder games.

It's important to pick the battles ...

Maybe this will deter players from dating gold digging vindictive strippers. That would be a plus I guess
Thats the lesson Zeke needs to learn if he wants to keep playing. He has to make better decisions.

Am I wrong in thinking Zeke's attorneys used the wrong approach with this, from what I read? Seems that they made the judge believe they were saying there was a conspiracy to suspend Elliott instead of sticking to the fundamental unfairness of the lead investigator not being included after she recommended that the league not suspend him. I think all the judge heard was "The NFL's out to get him."

If the NFLPA don't break the NFL down to its very core in the next CBA they be better not to even exist. They can not only use this example of absolute abuse of power by the league office but also the collusion amongst ownership to deny employment for exercising their first amendment rights. They will continue to be treated as fungible commodities until they take a final stand like MLBPA did back in the 1990s.
