Exactly, that’s the point.This is a stupid beyond measure omparison.

So in your eyes jerry is all knowing genius , with no flaws and we should worship him for all his greatness ??And people love him to the tune of the most valued franchise in sports.
You don’t think the media is saying that this time? The media can find an issue and overdramatize jay walking.What part of it was a mistake? This isn’t even close to the worst thing the Cowboys have tolerated their players doing. Newsflash: he’ll do this stuff a couple more times, and no one in valley ranch will see it as an issue until the media tells them to.
I wouldn't be surprised if that "girlfriend" following him around wasn't trying to set him up...
That was one devoted TMZ contributor, I got bored after 5 seconds.Lol, yeah and it was quite awhile.
Damn Gimme, please don't put liquor and cameras together in the same sentence again. I had an involuntary rigor reading that.You seem like an enabler to me. An excuse maker for rude and low behavior.
The problem is not liquor and cameras.
And his drinking and the personality he develops might have been why he was walking after her. He doesn't need support, he needs her to tell him to take his head out of his ***. Support is what got him to where he is, a spoiled athlete.Well I would be surprised if that is his girlfriend. She would have a better life by being by his side and supporting him as they both mature and grow. In the video looks like she was trying to somewhat calm him down.

Oh, I’m not saying the media created the problems, although they certainly can emphasize and dramatize them. I just don’t think media attention bothers Jerry, who probably ascribes to the theory that any publicity is good publicity.If the raccoons are getting into your trash, they will not go away until you stop leaving it out for them.
The media didn't create the problems with the Cowboys. The Cowboys created all of the off the field and offseason copy because the owner chose to try and use them, thinking he was smarter than them. The Dallas Cowboys are the #1 followed franchise for the off the field stuff as much as the football. In fact, if not for that, they wouldn't be all that and such a reality show because they haven't been much of a football powerhouse over the last 20 years. They've done just enough on the field, periodically, to warrant the amount of coverage. But make no mistake, it's all that other stuff that keeps them in the news, including their owner getting extorted by a couple of strippers. The Cowboys are good copy, they made themselves that.
FRISCO (105.3 The Fan) - It is the stated public position of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that star running back Ezekiel Elliott's "Vegas Video'' isn't worthy of "consequences,'' a position that sources tell me has ruffled the feathers of NFL higher-ups.
Maybe Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown's position will massage those feathers back into place.
It’s a situation you don’t want to be in, but we all make mistakes,” said Brown after Wednesday's OTA workout here inside The Star. “Even the greatest leaders make mistakes. We have to be understanding of that. ... We have talked to him about doing better and moving forward.''
The "mistake''? A recent 3 a.m. conflict in Las Vegas that ended up on video, showing Elliott eventually being handcuffed by police. He was not arrested and no charges have been filed. But I'm told the NFL is investigating the situation in accordance with its personal conduct policy -- the same policy that put Elliott's behavior in the spotlight in 2017 when the NFL handed him that contested and controversial six-game suspension.
Part of Jones' position, as he responded to my question about Elliott's otherwise exemplary behavior this offseason, is about the good being achieved by Elliott outweighing the bad (or at least what the NFL judged to be "bad,'' as law enforcement officials never have arrested Elliott for any infraction). And indeed, his charity work, his efforts as an unofficial mascot of the NHL's Dallas Stars and his gesture to pay for the funeral of a slain teen in St. Louis figure to earn him points here -- maybe to the degree that he only receives a fine as a result of the Vegas incident.
Said Brown: "We can’t beat him down for that (negative in Las Vegas). Obviously, we don’t want him in that situation. We talked to him and move on. He understands, ‘I can’t put myself in that position. I have got to be smarter.’ We all make mistakes.”
Meanwhile, Elliott's on-field work has continues at the highest level. The two-time NFL rushing champ continues to rank as arguably the team's best player, and Brown and young teammates say, one of its best leaders, too. Rookie Tony Pollard told reporters on Wednesday that Zeke has led the "bonding'' effort in the position group.
“He’s done a great job with all the running backs, just getting us together, having us over to his house for cookouts, and just bonding,” Pollard said. “In here he’s been helping us with little pointers and things we can sharpen up and get our game better with.”
Added Brown: “He has been a great leader, great with the young guys. He is an awesome dude, a big-brother type with the young guys.”

He said as much to one of his sons when they were having a media party and one of the names was a known detractor of Booger's and the Landry firing. His son asked him why are we inviting him when he doesn't like us. Booger just responded "because he covers the Dallas Cowboys". He was desperate to stop the bleeding and saw marketing and promotion as his best contribution to the turnaround while Johnson tended to the team. Booger used the media to help him but then became hooked on being a celebrity and his ego got in the way of his good sense.Oh, I’m not saying the media created the problems, although they certainly can emphasize and dramatize them. I just don’t think media attention bothers Jerry, who probably ascribes to the theory that any publicity is good publicity.
But she's got to be OK with waking up next to an Ewok every morning and dealing with a drunk Ewok at night.That girl probably has nothing to lose compared to Zeke. Of course her life would be better with him. To him, she's just another conquest. To her, he's a pot of gold...
It has become expected with the Cowboys. I am sure some breathed a sigh of relief when Crawford got himself on video in a barfight, they thought ZekeWatch was over.That's part of the problem though. Getting into someone's space and physically imposing on them is now the same as simply jaywalking. That's not the same to any other team. But Dallas has been so accustomed to terrible offseason events that you now equate the two because far worse things are usually on the horizon, going by recent history.
But you said the Cowboys won’t consider it an issue until the media tells them to, and now it seems you are saying the media IS telling them to, but they aren’t taking it seriously because the media always tells them to.That's part of the problem though.

Every time I look at Elliott, I cannot stop thinking about the old 3 Stooges film with the Wild Man of Borneo.

Ok, by your logic, a receiver gets tackled before receiving the ball. That’s unwanted physical contact, not only should the defender get a flag but he should be subjected to the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
I guess Tank should be fined for his latest tweet as well, that’s intimidation, right? IMOF, the league itself is in violation of it’s own policy by intimidating players with a code of conduct policy.
You got me, coaches and players should be suspended for slapping teammates on their butts, that’s no way to represent the shield and surely it’s unwanted behavior along with sexual harassment.
Coaches yelling at players on the sideline is uncalled for and should be intimidation. Even officials warning players is intimidation but I guess they can get away with it because they’re not official employees of the NFL.
I can’t believe I didn’t see things your way first, I’ve been wrong all along. You win another argument and did a fantastic job. Kudos and wet willies!
