Jerry is throwing down the gauntlet for Zeke

what else can Jerry say?,this will have effect of Fuehrer Goodells decision.
 
The NFL has to be aware that they do not have infinite power; and if they go too far without real evidence Zeke could sue by claiming that they violated his civil rights. If they pick the right federal judge it could get real interesting. After all Brady's suit almost made it to the Supreme Court. At the very least they could get a stay on any suspension that would last past this season.

Actually, he can't sue. The CBA overrides that, and Zeke is part of the union. Only way to fight it is if the NFLPA files a grievance, and that's pretty weak.

The CBA gives Goodell absolute power, sort of. Precedent is key.
 
It doesn't matter what Mara is going to do. Zeke will be there opening night either way!!!

Best explanation I've heard is that Goodell now wants to see the way the wind is blowing first. He's botched so many of these things, he's gun-shy.

It isn't fair to leave this hanging out there for over a year. But to be fair, Zeke keeps throwing these little nuggets on the pile, too.

Needs to be dismissed with a warning, and move on.

Yes needs to be dismissed, not sure about the warning, however, he should be warned on the pulling down the top, and possibly a fine, but no suspension.
The bar thing, there is nothing so that should not even be considered.

Time to move on and get to some games.

Brady did. Not sure why you are so blind to reality. The CBA is not ultimate; it cannot trump the constitution or federal laws.

Through the NFLPA, he did. But that was over an investigation. This is over "conduct detrimental", which is spelled out clearly in the CBA.

Personally, I don't think he's going to be suspended. Get ready for the Cowboy haters to lose their minds. The league knows it's coming, too.

Then, you gave us this,,,, is this your final answer/ruling?

Something isn't right with keeping it on the table for this long,,, and that's an eyebrow lifting thought in anybody's book.
 
I think NFLPA has a strong case regarding Zeke situation. No arrest was made but more important is the fact that the woman texted her friend to lie to the police of the so called DV.

I think they genuinely WANT to suspend him. But I think they fear the precedent. If this is suspension worthy, then half the league could get suspended for stuff like this on an every day basis. It would set these guys up for failure, and even blackmail.

The league has to start taking the criminal investigation more seriously. If the police dropped it, then so should they.
