An accumulation of off the field actions should be factual incidents of breaking the law.
Ben Roethlisberger had an accumulation of off the field incidents where he was accused of *raping* two different women. So much so that he settled the first case out of court and in the second case three witnesses corroborated with the accusers story or Roethlisberger sexually assaulting her.
The only thing we have on EE in terms of truthfulness and breaking the law is EE going 30 mph over the speed limit.
Unlike Roethlisberger EE has witnesses that have stated to police they saw his ex-gf make the story up and one of her friends even gave a statement to police about it.
Then we have the 'bar fight' which has no evidence that EE punched some victim who nobody can find and a witness stating that he saw somebody else punch the guy.
As far as the Mardi Gras incident, one could easily claim that Rob Gronkowski has been doing the same exact thing. Oh, but he's on the Patriots so that's 'Gronk being Gronk' and he can also make all of these sexual references in front of children...but EE is at Mardi Gras and he plays for the Cowboys so that should equate to a suspension.
In the end, money talks with these owners and Jerry may need to remind them who got the NFL back in LA and got the Raiders in Las Vegas. Of course, common decency and logic should dictate that this 'accumulation' is nonsense anyway.

I'm not saying Zeke "deserves" a suspension, I'm saying I could see the NFL giving him one due to the accumulation of events.
I bet the bar fight is far from over. Zeke is about as innocent as OJ, let's be honest. The NFL will investigate and it doesn't matter what the police came up with whether we like it or not. That's nothing specific to Zeke, that's the way it's always been.
The speeding thing obviously broke the law, no big deal. The Mardi Gras incident could be a bigger issue. I'm not an expert on the law but I imagine there is a law against showing a womans breast in public with or without consent. To the NFL it doesn't matter if it happened on main street of Anytown, USA or Bourbon St.
I can't stand Gronk and I'm not familiar with the reference of children and sexual references so I can't say much on that. Are you insinuating that just Gronk gets away with stuff because of who he is or because he's on the Patriots?
The NFL is whacked from top to bottom, no doubt. There are inconsistencies across the board, from team to team. If you read some of my links earlier today you woukd see how many players have been treated/punished differently for different offenses. Some broke the law, some didn't, some were found guilty some weren't. I don't like it nor do I agree with it but it's league wide, not just the Cowboys. If the NFL was really out to get the Cowboys, why did they let Brent come back after killing someone? Why do the Cowboys get more prime time games? Ratings and money. So why would they want to hurt their number 1 money maker by "picking on them" year after year?
Everytime I see a Cowboys article on Yahoo, which is a lot, I click on it. It's rarely for the content, because as I said in my other post to you I dislike the media as much as everyone else, but I like to read the comments. It's like here but you see both sides of the argument and there are just as many people who think the Cowboys get preferential treatment as there are Cowboys fans that think the NFL is out to screw them.
To be honest, both sides make great points which is why I try to remain neutral but one of the most common arguments that comes up is the NFL WANTING the Cowboys to be in the Super Bowl and that I can't argue. It makes too much sense, the ratings would be through the roof and with it comes more money. Point being, I find it very hard to believe that the NFL is purposely targeting their most popular and income generating team for what?
