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

Spoken like a true lawyer

Wow. What a visual metaphor that is!!!! I can't wait to be afforded the opportunity to use it! All credit going to you, of course....lol!!!!!!!!!!

I really don't care about anything except Jerry's response. Anything short of fighting this to the absolute end and a never ending Trump style quest to get Goodell and everyone associated with this decision fired is unacceptable in my book. There is no doubt this situation could be the catalyst for me that leads to an NFL free life.

Really.....Are you like 15yrs old?...someone that still demands attention from mom and daddy...

Some of these posts are a joke; Jerry Jones can do absolutely nothing, just as Kraft could do nothing. Owners and GMs have no role and no right to appeal. This is 100% on Zeke and the players association.

Some continue to think the NFL can't suspend players because they weren't convicted in court...just not paying attention.

I would prefer Zeke serve his suspension right now, get it done, learn that fair or not, he needs to change his habits and decision making process because anything that looks bad for the league will come down on him. However, he has no choice now; he must appeal to get that six game suspension reduced to 4, which is manageable. Six games seems a little ridiculous for a first offense, but clearly the league wants him to serve at least 4....no way this gets reduced to 2.

Appeal, serve it, and move on. If our season collapses over playing with backup RBs for four games, then we aren't much of a team anyway. I think we will be fine.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. Kraft says he regrets not fighting harder but he may be referring to the team sanctions and not Brady. It may be a stretch, but Jerry may have a case that unequal treatment of players under the current policy creates an unlevel playing field which has had or will have detrimental effects on his team if allowed to continue.

another thing that Goodell has done to piss me off

No more Sunday ticket on cable in Canada, have to order a streaming system Dazn. Grrrr

Kod, Reddit streams, or just pay $15 per month for many Iptv subscription services. You don't need Sunday ticket.

Yeah, I don't think the Cowboys or Elliott are going to let this thing go.

Now, of course, what you do expect the agents and attorneys of Elliott to state at this time. But if what they say is true and they end up poking holes throughout the NFL's case, this is going to get very, very interesting. There's a lot on the line here for the NFL and Goodell. Elliott knows his worst care scenario. I am not sure the NFL and Goodell realize their worst case scenario.

Why do you post here

why do you?

 

[beacamdim]

Not in Government or the NFL fellow.

You don't have a lick of independent support for that, buddy, and you know it.

 

[Nightman]

Don't flatter yourself, you're not worth thw pee that trickles down ny leg. Lol, see you later Nancy

Sick burn .............. I wish I was a macho man

 

[Chuck 54]

I'm hoping that outside of Zeke, his agent, and the players association, that everyone else in Dallas is 100% focused on getting ready for the NFL season. They have jobs to do, and their jobs have nothing to do with worrying about Zeke, whether injured or suspended.

 

[theebs]

Stupid remarks don't impress me. No one said ALL. The fact is most strippers have a past (or present). Not all, but most.

thanks shania.

you keep saying not all but then saying most do. It is kind of the same. That tells me that if you turned on the news and saw a story of a woman who was beaten to death and then found out she liked drugs and sex that maybe she got what was coming to her in some way...You know like nicole brown simpson.

I just hope Jerry can fix this.

 

[Nightman]

Amen. I feel confident that legally, Jerry can do nothing. He can't appeal, and he can't boycott. Owners sign away most of their rights just for the right to purchase in the league.

They already appealed

This is why the NFL sucks. Not worth watching.

 

[Cowboys22]

No, I think it would be great entertainment and someone needs to get this crap back under control.

 

[MRV52]

This is clearly a case of the NFL not wanting backlash from women's rights group, so they imposed their own version of street justice.

There are way too many conflicting stories and testimony from different people involved for any one to draw a conclusive opinion.

Yup, when even his girlfriends text says I am going to screw you and going to lie to the police. Wonderful justice that the NFL Police State abides by.

Sounds like Kramers attorney Jackie Chiles on Senfeild

[TrailBlazer]

Unless there's more evidence than we know, I don't see how Zeke could lose the appeal.

 

[superonyx]

Unfortunately, I don't think that can happen with the way the CBA is right now. If the NFLPA takes a stand, you have a strike because that's really the only weapon they have. If that happens, we all hate it.

The only way to really change things are for we, the fans (and I mean all the fans of all the teams) to make the NFL pay in revenue loss. Unfortunately, the other 31 teams are having a party over this so that's not going to happen. JMO

I agree... I typically would hate a strike..But I must say that I would fully support the players if they go out on strike this next time..and even if it lasted a season or more. The league is ruining itself and needs a little correction of policy.
They are now like the DA who sends someone to prison for life for a drug offense or other victimless crimes.
