A Crazy, Crazy Idea About Zeke

[CT Dal Fan]

First off, I know this will never happen. But I wonder what would happen IF:

-The Cowboys let Ezekiel Elliott into the stadium and suit him up for Sunday. Would the officials stop the game until he left the field? What type of punishment would the NFL hand down?

-Let's take this a step further. What if the Cowboys, as a team, refuse to play if Elliott cannot? They could really put the NFL in a bind- the Sunday afternoon late game is the CBS "anchor"- the real money maker.

I know this is crazy. I'm just really angry that Zeke, by the laws of this country in which we live, is a free man. However, the NFL is denying him the chance to do his job for six weeks because they think they are above law enforcement and have the legal system eating out of their hand.

 

[pugilist]

here's my fantasy:

Tiffany Thompson comes forward and admits to lying about everything and as a result completely and utterly humiliates the NFL and Goodell in particular

if she played her cards right I'm sure she could get an even bigger payday from blackmailing Goodell than she would from Zeke

The only way it would work is if the Cowboys refuse to play. I would love to see it happen as it would just destroy the NFL. But I'm sure there would be serious ramifications for Jerry if he did this. And if it involves money there is no way Jerry will allow it to happen

You certainly are cray cray...
I respect your emotional lashing out though with ideas, instead of the regular piss and vinegar.

Like I said, this is crazy. My venting here has to do with the NFL's treatment of Zeke. It's time they stay out of players' legal affairs unless they are formally charged or found guilty by law enforcement officials. Which, as has been stated thousands of times, Zeke never was.

Essentially what you are asking for is the team to strike?

Can they do that mid-season? Are there rules against that in the CBA or the competition committee? I'd bet there are, and they can't "strike". If they could it would probably count as a loss and a Chiefs victory which would have an impact on the NFCE race

I finally looked her up...
She's hot.

Wait, isn't this like the third time this wacky krazy idea has spawned its own thread?

I'm not asking for them to strike, I was just wondering what the ramifications would be if something so outlandish ever occurred.

Radical. I love it. Just change his number and the name on his jersey and let it rip...tell the NFL they just discovered this big headed freak playin rugby in Uganda.....I mean why not....Shave his head and take a shot at it. Image the publicity.

It would just take enough money.

I bet there are rules against this.. Maybe loss of draft picks and forfeit the game giving them a loss, and a possible fine as there are TV contracts involved

No, just give him a dark visor and a "Mcfadden 20" jersey. Tell him to keep his helmet on the entire game and ditch the feed me gesture.

That's too much work, just get one of those glasses with a mustache.

For starters I am sure they’d loose all of their 2018 draft picks followed by cap reductions and fines.

It would be unbelievably ugly.

I'm also sure Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett would be in for huge punishments, too.

Hey, it was a slow day today and I was daydreaming.

This is such a dream scenario.
