LOL so what is it ESPN?! Is Zeke a no-show or not? He is with the click bait title but then back peddle just to be safe...

Top news of the day
Top stories: Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott and Saints WR Michael Thomas are no-shows.

• Elliott is not on the plane to Los Angeles with the majority of Dallas teammates and coaches for the start of training camp in Oxnard, California, according to multiple sources. That does not yet mean Elliott is a no-show for training camp. Players have to be at the team's River Ridge Residence Inn setup by Friday morning in time for physicals and a conditioning test before they are considered late for camp and subject to a fine.

ESPN long ago forsake themselves as an intelligent sports outfit in favor of the kitchen sink strategy of reporting. Multiple sources told me so.

You can never be wrong if you say that he's a no show or not a no show.

It's not a contradiction. He wasn't on the plane with the rest of the team so he was a no show for the flight but he has until Friday morning before he's officially a camp no show.

I know some have called ESPN BSPN... when I do watch, which isn't very often, I am impressed with some of their people with the knowledge of all the games that were played the day prior. That being said, they have a lot of talking heads that just like to hear themselves talk to show how "smart" they are in comparison to the other people on the show they are on, which is why I don't watch that channel often.

The story was unnecessary and meant to sensationalize due to the uncertainty surrounding the players seeking new contracts. It would have been prudent to wait-and-see if either player showed at their respective training camps. The 'real' story should have originated there.

Every player, even star players, do not always travel with their teams. Sometimes the circumstance happens when contract negotiations are not ongoing. It would be interesting to know how often players are reported not traveling with their teams.

There's is exactly ONE THING I watch on that network. Monday Night Football, and only because I can't watch it anywhere else.

Trash network that has sold their soul and integrity for sensationalism.

NFL Sunday Ticket I have not paid for it for 10 seasons you sign a two-year contract and they give you NFL Sunday Ticket I cancel at the end of every single year. And they call me begging me to come back. It's like Verizon. To give you a two year contract but only one year at special pricing. So at the end of every year when the pricing goes away I cancel it they threaten you with a early termination fee. But never comes to that because they want you back
