Trust me, I have my facts straight. Zeke knocked him out. Without going into much detail, myself and a few others here personally know people who were there and/or work there and witnessed it. The NFL could have investigated it but they didn’t but you claim it was part of his suspension. How is that?

So again, you said the nightclub incident,and now the the St Patricks day incident, along with the alleged DV incident was all part of his suspension yet the league never even acknowledged the St Patricks Day or nightclub incident but if they had then his suspension becomes more justified. You’re off your rocker bro, you’re all over the place.
A spokesperson for the league did mention the video from the parade and did say it was part of the overall process.

If you are sitting on that panel, does that not affect you as to how much does he respect women? The ones that were defending that at the time, I asked them if they would do that with their girlfriend or wife, either or both, and not one said they would be comfortable doing that. I think had that not happened, he might have gotten the benefit of the doubt because of the lack of real evidence.

This video, when you see him purposefully blocking the path of that woman, which any woman will tell you that is nothing more than intimidation, what message does that send?

If there's a player on the team that needs to stay the hell away from alcohol, it's Elliott. That's the reason Meyer, supposedly, called his father about his problems.

@CouchCoach even just finished saying the St Patricks Day incident was acknowledged by the league to have been included with the supposed DV incident when determining Zeke's 2017 6 game suspension. So, yes, get your facts straight. You don't even know what you're talking about. Just spewing poison once again.

Lol, so now you have to use someone else’s quote who is arguing the same thing I am to support what you are arguing against me? You’re a gem. So AGAIN, if the league did suspend him for the alleged DV incident, along with the St Patricks Day incident (which CC said) and along with the nightclub incident (which you said) then all of the sudden the suspension doesn’t seem so unreasonable, does it?

I don’t recall the St Patricks Day incident ever being mentioned but that definitely makes sense and even further justifies his suspension and the league looking into this incident.

I just don't think the video was that big of deal. He was respectful to the cops. For being cuffed for doing nothing he was very calm.
Doesn’t matter. He got railroaded last time. This time the ******* HANDED it to them. I get called a tinfoil hat by some, but with us kicking off against Goodell’s buddy’s team, a team that is down, doesn’t that plant seeds of doubt? Drives up the rating$ drama for the opener, right? Funny how it almost always fall into place for the 1%ers, huh?

That was 1 incident in which the girl wanted and approved of his action, which was used to contribute to his 6 game suspension in 2017. What "much more"?
Approved? Lmao she slapped his hand and immediately pulled her shirt back up. Just because she was ok with it afterwards and blew off doesn't mean she approved of it. When you're friends with someone, you let them get away with things you wouldn't let others but doesn't mean you approve of it.

Well, AC, you're going to hear it because I do not buy that. It is not if the Cowboys players aren't giving them reason to investigate these situations and let's not forget this is a player that while under investigation pulled that stunt at the St. Patty's Day parade and the league office admitted that had some effect.

Once in trouble, and it doesn't matter whether anyone believes he hit that girl or not, a player has to not give them any reason to be forced into action. This is the most visible team in the NFL, the ratings magnet which is why I don't buy the persecution complex, and this is the most highlighted "bad boy" along with Gregory. And is Gregory not inviting his problems with failing to meet the rules of reinstatement?

The league has no choice but to "look into it" because it went public, just like Crawford's stunt did. And because Elliott has already served time, he has presented them with more evidence he's a moron. This guy is a problem going back to college and they're very aware that his father quit his job and moved to Columbus to try and get him under control.

Every one of these players is aware of the NFL's number one concern, image. Anything that tarnishes that will be dealt with and most likely harsher than usual on any team thought to have too many of these types of players on board. And no owner in the NFL is more aware that image = money than Booger.
Right on !!

He’s just worried what a Zeke suspension could do to his Dakster. Lol

"Guys like you"? Zip it already. Everyone knows Goodell targets the Cowboys in any way he can. Btw, I'm one of Zeke's biggest partying critics, but that little shoulder shrug was nothing. The only reason that security guard fell is because that waist high movable gate was right behind his legs. Just watch, Zeke will get at least 1-2 game suspension while other players with more questionable actions will get less.
You might want to look at the list, and reevaluate your position. Or maybe DV, manslaughter, Kidnapping, Abuse are Ok where you come from.

domestic violence
domestic abuse charge
convicted of manslaughter
altercation with a bodyguard
being convicted of burglary and kidnapping

NE might argue that with you.
Hell, even though the Giants got away with their kicker thing no one ever mentions Odiva being suspended for on the field conduct for a win it and in it game for the playoffs. How often has the best player on a team been suspended for one game, which that game happens to have direct playoff implications, for conduct on the field? That may have been a first.

Imagine if Zeke were suspended for one game under similar circumstances? There would still be multi page threads about it but since it was the Giants no one here wants to remember it or bring it up because it doesn't fit their “poor me”/victim/conspiracy theory agenda.

If Jerry has gone the Kraft route, ya think prosecutors would have dropped it? Plus, FS1 and ESPN would STILL be doing long segments on the “outrage” had it been Jerry.

If I lived in the Dallas area like some of you, I would just follow certain Cowboys around with a cell phone camera and then just sell the footage to TMZ for big money when they inevitably do something stupid.

We aren't going to win anything anyway.

And what message is Elliott sending to the NFL? I didn't learn a damned thing.
Yep

This should be a slam dunk. Definitely conduct detrimental to the league. We figured it was just a matter of time.

There’s the distraction for 2019.

Yep, because I was wondering how that would affect the investigation but even if that spokesperson, and I believe it might have been Troy Vincent, hadn't said it was "part" of it, how would anyone ignore that? Some were excusing that because she was playing it a little loose but that was her, the minute he got involved in that, he was serving himself up. Add to that he knew he was under investigation and knew it, think about how that sits with the league office.

I am not one to blame the parents for the behavior of their "should know better" children but in this case all of this falls on one man and his enabling and even trying to get the rules changed to excuse this type of thing. He will go as far to call a tainted player a leader when he slaps the clipboard out of a coach's hand during a game while he's trying to get his team out on the field. His "Boys will be boys" keeps his boys in the gunsights of the enforcers at the league office and posters here should consider Goodell does not decide who's being investigated, they have people in place for that, it is his job to decide whether punishment should be meted out.

That comes with being the most popular team in all of sports. Fans like you (and Jerry) love the positive attention that comes with loving the Cowboys but complain about it when it goes the other way. I can hardly scroll through Yahoo’s homepage without reading something about the Cowboys. Every year the Cowboys are one of the most talked about teams, even moreso than prior Super Bowl winners. They got more prime time games then playoff contenders even when they sucked due to ratings. Part of the reason other fans hate us is because of the non stop blathering about us even when we’re not relevant. We have sports analysts and tv personalities that do nothing but rave about the Cowboys, no other team has that.

Now you want to complain that we get more attention when something negative happens? Bias much?
You can’t have it both ways.

Wrong. The DJ incident was part of the reason Zeke got the 6 game suspension in 2017.

So, once again, what "much more"?

Where are you getting your info from? The pulling the top down and the bar incident was not part of the 6 game suspension. It could've added to the reason but was not named in the suspension. If you got some info I don't know about please show me.

If I was Jerry, I’d hold off on any potentially team crippling contract for Zeke for two reasons:

1)Zeke’s a dumb azz, and our detractors and rivals are watching him closely, waiting, DROOLING for him to screw up and cripple us.
2)With the high amount of touches he gets, how long can we get good mileage beyond this coming season? Two or three seasons? Couldn’t we just tag him in ‘21 and ‘22? After that, trade him.

men and women are usually what they are when they reach adulthood. Zeke is no different I guess. Was hoping he would stop being a idiot. Oh well...let the chips fall where they may. BTW...don't take lightly the front office was aware of potential future issues arising about Zeke. I say that because looking how we drafted Pollard, they were covering their arses.

I never seen anything about the pulling the top down was part of it. I seen where they said it was disturbing but was not part of the process

True. I get your point, and I agree. Mostly. But if I have to accept all the screaming and crying and hate from the avalanche of jealous morons out there, it’s only justice that they get return volleys, right?

If my choice is either advocate for Dallas fans, or advocate for Dallashaters, in most cases I’d go with the former.

Yep. Pollard and Weber. Who knows, if this escalated, could they pick up a FA for insurance?
