Ezekiel Elliott withdraws appeal

[Direwolf63]

I've said that before. Sue her for exactly $1, to help clear his name. Make it not be about the money but his image.

Beat you by THAT much.....

 

[Satchel89]

Tiffany Thompson....Maggot

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

She probably has no money, but so what?

If it is about restoring your name, just having a judgement in your favor will go a long way. Even if she doesn't give you a penny.

Exactly. For those who feel as if you should never give up and fight it to the end to clear my name, that is exactly how you do it. Yeah, you basically spend a good chunk of change and you get little of value in the way of cash but you get to say, I'm innocent!

If that's really what is important to him, then yeah. I can see where that might be a very powerful statement.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I don't see why this impacts anyone's thoughts on the team's immediate prospects. Did people think he was going to serve four games or get some miracle he could come back sooner?

It smashes some people's illusion that Jerry has the power to do anything about the "unfair treatment" the Cowboys are getting.

The league is laughing at Jerry Jones.

Regarding Zeke, I hope he reigns it in after this. He is missed..takes a ton of pressure off Dak.

Yeah. All of this, I have to say, I agree with.

Exactly. If this is really about his image then go after the source. If not, then get it over with.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

After all he will serve the full six games

I see someone did not want to be deposed. Or risk testimony, oral or written, from the victim.

Zeke! Just man up and take yer penalty and stay on the straight and narrow for the rest of your short
NFL life!

 

[big dog cowboy]

Sad day for the NFL, the Cowboys and for Zeke.

The sport I love has a big new black eye now.

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Not for me. I'm ticked off because the railroad is officially complete. An injustice of epic proportion.

Thing is that this counts as stike one under the domestic violence policy..........a second strike is a lifetime ban. And remember, as far as Goddell is concerned, an accusation means guilt.

Dude better live like a monk from here on out...............no partying, no alcohol, and definitely no sex.

I think I would rather record myself 24/7 to stockpile evidence that would exonerate me. Any girl I'm dating would have to sign a waiver acknowledging she's being recorded.

This has nothing to do with Jerry despite him saying Zeke innocent. He can’t control courts. This is about RG and abuse of power vs what the CBA said. I found the whole act fruitful just because it pulled back the curtain more on how the commish ramrods folks

Either he he tries a lawsuit or he moved over to let Jerry take over.

@Alexander see ?

 

[Stash]

 

[LoneStarDawg]

Not happy about it, but glad this won’t carry for to next season

 

[LocimusPrime]

Yeah, but I was the bad guy acknowledging that obvious fact.

Just get it over with.

Yes peeps made you to look like the villian.

Goodell has taken the joy out of watching football.
I was an avid baseball fan back in the day.I grew up playing baseball.
After 1994,when there was no World Series,I soured on the sport.
It was never the same for me.Still is not.
Goodell has turned out to be for the NFL what the 1994 strike was for baseball.
He is killing the league with his miscalculations and abuse of power.
The NFL does not need to pay the commissioner the money he is asking.The NFL sells itself.
But he is committed to sell it to those who do not want it.Quite a fool's errand.
Sell it to Europe,sell it to uninterested women,sell it to people who don't want it.
He has proven he does not understand who is the fan base.He is taking the fan base for granted.
He is giving us the finger.But we will not take it much longer.
Ratings are down,revenue will follow.
Jerry Jones knows this whole kneeling BS is hurting business.Goodell allowed it to happen.
Jerry understands business.Goodell does not.


The NFL's base fan base is Joe Six Pack,not Brie cheese,wine sipping elitists.
We are blue collar Americans.Football is 100% American.
Goodell looks down on us.
The NFL is on suicide watch.It has already lost many fans.
It will lose this one soon...only a matter of time.

 

[Toomany10pins]

Zeke got screwed big time, and the courts bent over for Goodie Goodell. It was a rigged process.

The NFLPA screwed up by filing early in Texas. Up here, no judge would dismiss the case based on a technicality like that but US conflict of laws and jurisdictional rules are different I guess. No judge would sit on a case where her husband drafted the legislation she is interpreting. Still the PA blew it and cost Zeke big money.

Hopefully now, the NFL will no longer see the need to have its officials screw us over game after game after game.

You don’t know Rog very well. He holds on to grudges. Plus Jerry’s still pissing him off and refuses to kiss Rog’s ring won’t help matters. Roger’s wrath is just beginning for you guys.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Can he still file a civil suit against the NFL?

He will lose....goodell was within his powers and did nothing wrong. Heard his case, decide to listen who he wanted to listen to, and then punished zeke.

I'd compare it to trying to sue an arbitrator....very hard to do

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I hope this means Jerry goes in guns blazing to get Goodell dismissed. We need a new commish. Would be nice to have one who believes players should only get suspended when they've actually done something wrong. A feminazi having an ax to grind against you isn't a good enough reason.

 

[Thomas82]

What about the hearing on December 1st? Zeke is just dropping the whole thing?

If I was totally innocent, I would keep fighting to clear my name. I wouldn't just let them label me a woman beater for life.

I beleive that he's still cooking up something else even though he dropped this process.
