He went undrafted due to one specific event. Right before the draft, his girlfriend was murdered. The police had not yet ruled him out in the case. This scared off teams and his agent told teams that if we was not going to be drafted in the first, to not draft him. Right after the draft, he was 100% cleared of any involvement in the murder.

Being acquainted with someone who is killed, is an odd criteria for 'character concerns'
Exactly they love to make up things about a mans character when they look the part.

If you are getting tested 10x a month, something is wrong or the league must absolutely "think" something is wrong with the player. Didn't they relax the weed rules anyways? What was he doing smoking a kilo a day?? Seems weird and I don't really buy the "he's a victim" or "they are picking on the Cowboys" thing. Something ain't right.

If he were entirely blameless for being tested 10x/month, this wouldn't have gone on for 18 months. What agent is going to let their guy get singled out like that without cause? I agree, something isn't right here.

Ya gotta see past the star on the helmet, bud.

First of all I’m Not a bud much less your bud and it has nothing to do with a star on the helmet it has to do with not judging a person when you don’t have all the facts
Just like I shouldn’t call you any names because I don’t know who or what you are as a person I could accuse u of being ******** and not know you are a special needs person that was only born with half a brain How compassionate would that be?

There's nothing in the rules that matches the suspension time.
The rules state a 4-game suspension.
They should be obligated to explain this.

I don't get the false positive legal narrative.
He's suspended. Why? Violation.
They should explain the ruling.
I agree with you 100% but I’m assuming that’s why they don’t release much info because if any of that info is incorrect - think about what these players make. A lawyer could argue for a SHIZZZ ton of money for defamation, which could impact future contracts for said player.

Come on. You "theorists" can't quit the NFL. You will watch all the way while threatening you won't, also hoping the multi-billion dollar league fails. But you WILL be witnesses to everything in between.

I missed maybe 6 games in 2019. Usually I was home and awake, but just didn't feel the motivation for it.

Last couple of seasons I watched no playoffs, including SBs. The NFL has been alienating its base fanbase for years now. I know of other fans with decades of following the league who have just stopped. Viewership has been down.

Oh, I know where this is going, because Goddell wants to sabotage the leagues most profitable, and most watched franchise, right?

He's flexing on the Cowboys again. Pour encourager les autres.

People need to stop mistaking the motivations of the actors within an organization with the putative purpose of the organization itself.

The answer to your sabotage question, is, yes….Cowboys get ratings no matter how good they are.

they were going to pin it on Tyron but he's too straight and will be hurt before the year ends. So it looks like gimp hip got picked out. lol... I hope they make a new show about it. the sabotages of the dynasty Cowboys. "How the nfl keep the jerry jones cowboys down" should be a real comedy.

Legitimate viewership is down. Illegal streaming is up.
