I see at least 4 possible conflicts of interest. Then look at the bolded and the group she works for.

 

[GroundZero1970]

Was Zeke UNDER contract with Dallas when this happened or had she just been drafted?

 

[StylisticS]

So listening to the press conference on the fan, they simply believed her more than they believed Zeke.

LOL. The NFL is a world class joke.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

If the DA believes based on the evidence, a higher bar for court than the NFL, he or she would decide if charges could secure a conviction, if he or she doesn't believe he could get a conviction, then he's not bringing charges...does mean he didn't do it or not...

I know all about proscutorial standards, but usually they err on side of laying a charge in this type of situation. Robespierre just thinks he is smarter than everyone.

 

[SultanOfSix]

This is absurd.

The NFL has no right to enforce such a punishment. I don't care what the PC Policy states. Zeke was absolved from wrongdoing by the authorities. This should become an ethical/legal issue for the Supreme Court as far as I am concerned. A higher standard of conduct doesn't give them the power to be unjust. Also, any league investigative documentation in this matter needs to become public domain. The NFL is effectively a "legal" monopoly. Due to this exception, it also needs to be held to higher standard of conduct of enforcing such a policy.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Personally I don't the Cowboys lose any games becuas


We don't.

The NFL does.

The NFL is a maze of contradictions.....they have VIDEO....VIDEO of Joe Mixon.....the kicker from the Giants ADMITTED the accusations against him were true and got 1 game..HGH was received at the house where Peyton Manning lived....Peyton is the ONLY player in his house that plays NFL football....and oh by the way....he was recovering from neck surgery....

I mean Zeke never even stepped into a courtroom over this stuff....so I don't get it.

I just listened to the press conference, on the night zeke was with her she ended up with the bruises and zeke's lawyer's answer to this was that she fell down the stairs.

Think about that, his lawyers defense of the bruises on her body are from her falling down the stairs.

That seems to point to guilt imo. He should be suspended for the whole season and the cowboys organization has serious issues with this happening after taking up for Greg Hardy.

Today sucks.

 

[Miller]

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

Their statement said they found that it was DV

 

[LocimusPrime]

Yep.

Strippers are a great choice for a significant others.

Hey hey hey. Strippers need loving too! Plus they need to pay for their eclipses with the cheetah print steering wheel covers

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

that would be new

except Brown was suspended LAST year...

 

[MichaelWinicki]

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

What guy is that?

I'm simply not going to boo the decision made by the league because it affects a Dallas Cowboy.

NOW do I think it's excessive?

Yeah.

And it will most likely be reduced.

 

[mkindred]

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

He was stating the decision was made strictly on the DV issue and not all the other situations that have come up. Nice try on being a smart***.

 

[isawoj]

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

That is what the NCAA does all the time. Don't cooperate and they will come down harder on your program than if you just admit your transgressions and take a lesser penalty.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

So I read the letter, and if it's true, how could he not have been legally charged? This only confuses me more.

 

[Avery]

Sunny side of this is that we get this monkey off of our back and go forward. I'd rather him miss the first six games of the season vs. the last six.

Maybe he'll learn from this experience and that life is magnified when you're you.

I just wish there was some semblance of consistency in the NFL as 'personal conduct' is an umbrella term. I can find drunken photos of players groping groupies within ten seconds.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

It's the NFL rules and not ours.

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

I hope so but I'm not holding my breath. It's more likely Jerry goes rogue and files suit - which would ultimately fail thanks to the CBA.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Probably. This is what happens when you draft idiots.

Man shut up. Its obvious what's being done here. Suspended for 6 games and losing 8 million dollars cuz a bitter chick lied on him



Why did Josh brown only get 1 game when he admitted to his abuse??

 

[LocimusPrime]

Was Zeke UNDER contract with Dallas when this happened or had she just been drafted?

The policy allows for punishment for thingsndone prior to being in the NFL

 

[WhizKid]

I just don't get it. Law enforcement saw no wrong. If he did it, he should be dealt with. There are so many inconsistencies, I don't know how you could make this ruling, especially given the texts they had of her planning revenge.

Also, what's up with Joe Mixon???

I need more clarity here.
