News: It is official! Zeke suspended 6 games **merged**

[coogrfan]

You know those futurist movies where its a utopia full of law and order. But in reality its like a police state, where petty crimes are punished with death. That's what this is like. Zeke is guilty of petty crimes basically and being punished like he's a convicted felon. No one is condoning his actions, and they are wrong, but at some point the punishment has to justify the crime. You don't chop off someone's hand off for petty theft (unless your'e in the middle-east). Isn't that what makes this country different than others?

And I get it, its right to play NFL, yadda yadda yadda. But lets be reasonable on the punishments.

If he is guilty he should be punished, but...the disparity between the responses of the legal system and the league is so great that you can't help but scratch your head.

NFL security employs ex Feds. They got resources

 

[StylisticS]

so the league office is going to turn that info over to the police right? I mean obviously there was a crime that took place right?

That's crazy. They somehow came to a different conclusion on that same night than the police did. So are they saying the Columbus incident is incompetent then?

 

[JBond]

******. That bar fight is gonna get him a year suspension

Probably. This is what happens when you draft idiots.

 

[The Quest for Six]

this is not about the Conduct policy .... it is only about DV..... they believed the gf

what part of the leagues code of conduct don't you comprehend, DV and beating a woman falls under that

 

[Nightman]

Let's be honest here...

Elliott is kind of a dolt.

And would it shock anyone that he did rough this girl up a bit?

Don't be that guy.......... not today

 

[Risen Star]

This is what happens when you pander to women.

Enjoy the pink in October.

 

[Real1st]

No trial. Can't have double jeopardy if no trial. Like Jordan Lewis cannot be tried criminally for same DV even if new evidence presented. He can be sued however.

Ok gotcha.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Zeke should have called Ray Donovan or me

 

[jwooten15]

This is a key point

Aka: if they want to find something and punish you for it, they can. And they will.

 

[BAT]

And Josh Brown gets 1 game...Yep.

Jerry needs to put this on a giant billboard in Times Square.

 

[CATCH17]

I'm listening.

It sounds like they have no proof but a theory that they see as highly likeable of happening.


So who knows really... They are suspending based on their probabilities of how this girl acquired bruises.

They said she got in a fight with another girl or something but only hair was pulled according to witnesses.

 

[Doomsday]

Jerry Jones was furious about the fine a few years back, than bent over and took it.

The Giants kicker pleas out his domestic violence cast and gets ONE week last season. This is a joke!

Beat the crap out of wife = 1 game

New policy

the six game policy came in two years ago iirc

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Lack of full cooperation isn't justification for 6 games.

It's the NFL rules and not ours.

That being said, I think we're in agreement that it's likely to be reduced.

 

[Nightman]

what part of the leagues code of conduct don't you comprehend, DV and beating a woman falls under that

Not when they have specific rules for DV....... just like weed and PEDs

Once they have a policy they have to stick to it

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

NFL can't even answer if it was DV or personal conduct.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

so the league office is going to turn that info over to the police right? I mean obviously there was a crime that took place right?

You're missing the point. The NFL is a private employer. With a union and a CBA. They don't have to have the same standards.
