NFL: Ezekiel Elliott's suspension appeal to stretch to Day 2

[Bleedblue1111]

Depending on whose side you were on, yes. Actually, he was a hero for both sides at different points. He had a large role in the capture of Ft Ticonderoga while on the American side before defecting.

I never realized there were so many American history fans in here! Very exciting.

Love American history, and all history for that matter. Just recently watched the series "Turn", on Netflix. Pretty good show. Check it out.

Speaking of history. I think Goodell will be on the wrong side of it, in regard to this Ezekiel Elliott suspension.

 

[phildadon86]

Yup. But according to @aria this guy is guilty as sin

 

[waldoputty]

you guys are all feeding the troll.
we should all ignore the troll.

 

[aikemirv]

All I can say is, Zeke must have a lot better friends/acquaintances than TT because they all vouch for him but she can't get anybody to vouch for her!

BTW, I like how now I'm not a Cowboys fan because I think since we lost to the Giants twice with Zeke and that we need to change our strategy that I'm off my rocker. I never said we would be better without him, I just said we need to tweak the offensive play calling which maybe we'll do instead of trying to shove the ball down the throat against one of the best run defenses in the league since we may not have him. If we do have him they may try doing the same thing. It worked twice last year, maybe the third times a charm.

Regardless its a moot point, I think we will probably win with or without him but it will be close like all of our games against them. I definitely see us winning 4 of the first 6, NY and GB are 60/40.

You never said 1 thing about changing our strategy. You simply gloated that having Elliott or not would not make a difference and your seemingly favorite owner(for whatever reason I don't judge) would not be worried either.

Previously you said you had a "roommate". Is it Mara?
Because I can't see another reason why a dedicated Cowboys fan would defend him so much. Especially in the salary cap fiasco. He lead the committee and admitted to collusion. A crime he knew he'd never have to answer for because of the position confronting that fact would put the only two owners punished for it in.

Let's see, one owner abused power and colluded with other owners to artificially lower the market of players salaries. Jerry and Snyder refused to break the law(others too who weren't punished) and they are the bad guys in your eyes.

Can you at least admit Mara resembles Mr. Burns from the Simpsons both in actions and appearance?

He won't...so I will:

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Whatever, he was one of about 3-4 owners who tried to take advantage of the other owners and was one of the two overall worst and it wasn't even close. 2 owners out of 32.

2 owners out of 32 who didn't engage in collusion. I'm proud my owner was one of the two.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Well, maybe I shouldn't after seeing this. Nevermind, I'll leave it, glad to see you stooped to my level because I stooped to the other posters on this board. Congrats!

I think getting hurt playing football, dying in a tragic dui accident and shooting yourself with your own gun are all different things. One is hilarious..two are not. Can you figure out which is which? I'm betting no.

 

[Corso]

That's what makes some of this so ridiculous and instead of responding to people like you I'll just put on ignore. The fact that you think I would spend this much time as a "troll" is ludicrous and borderline offensive. I'm honestly getting of it and I don't appreciate the fact that I was called out, along with another poster, to stop personal insults when calling me a "troll" is a personal insult. Being I have to play by the rules, I'll just put you on ignore instead of being insulted.

BTW, I've always said I think Zeke is great but an absolute moron and I despise Jerry. There are plenty of other fans who agree but since I'm on a Cowboys forum and am vocal/passionate about it then I'm automatically a troll. Funny how no one quotes my other posts or when I do say something positive they somehow spin it.

No need to reply, as I said, I'd have plenty more to say to you but I don't want to risk being suspended. Going on ignore.

Fair enough, I'm not saying there wasn't collusion (which is illegal) but IMO Snyder and Jerry colluded to say "screw you" to all the other owners and gain an unfair advantage. That is just a difference in opinion but again, to blame it all on Mara is dumb just because he was the chairman prior to everything going down. Again, it was a commitee, not just him.

Bull ........ how can someone be so sure of himself when he has it completely wrong.

I think this guy is a Giant fan .......

We on the right side in Canada don't like Arnold that much either. He only switched because he thought the rebs were losing. True loyalists remained so all along.

A lot of the blame could also be laid at the feet of his wife, who was a truly manipulative woman. She from the time she met him kept pushing him to side with King George.


There is a good chance Gates would have lost at Saratoga if Arnold had not disobeyed gates orders to stay out of it. He took charge launched a critical counter attack.

Arnold is a very interesting charactor. When he turned traitor Washington was so angry that he would have done anything to catch him; and later on tried several times to get the English to trade Arnold for some of their generals held in captivity. Washington took the betrayal very personally since he had tried to shield Arnold from congressional attacks several times.

Congress also contributed to arnold turning traitor by continually placing him behind other generals who had never done half as much for the cause as Arnold had.

I have a book amongst about 200 other unread ones in my house on Arnold. Most traitors are usually more interesting than non traitors.

Who wants to read about the guy who said his prayers and did nothing wrong his whole life?
Like my momma (RIP) always defended: I watch the Kardashians to see something I don't live. I don't want to watch my life...

I think I'll drop this nugget here. It sounds like the NFLPA is about to bring hell down upon the NFL, which isn't surprising. However, in the link below there's a tidbit I found interesting. It sounds like the NFL really messed up in that statement they released accusing the NFLPA of "victim-shaming." According this the author's opinion, by referring the accuser as a victim, and not an alleged victim, the NFL has open themselves to be sued by Elliot for libel since there's no legal finding of Zeke's guilt therefore no victim.

“Over the past few days we’ve received multiple reports of the NFLPA spreading derogatory information to the media about the victim in Ezekiel Elliott discipline case,” the NFL said in a statement in mid-August. “It’s a common tactic to attempt to prove the innocence of the accused by discrediting the victim — in this case Ms. Thompson — when coming forward to report such abuse.”

Notice how the NFL left out “alleged” when referring to the woman claiming that Elliott abused her? Elliott was never charged in the case, which makes any stance other than claiming him to be an alleged abuser libelous in the court of law.

We can rest assured that Kessler, Elliott and the NFLPA know this full well. It will be part of what promises to be a nuclear option set forth by the Elliott camp against the NFL in court."

Let the Hellfire rain upon and wash over me. My body... is ready.

Whining about Mara being attacked, should be labeled as what? I imagine General Cornwallis of Great Britain would have received sympathy from you during the revolutionary war, huh?

LOL gen.Cornwallis?
The head cheese British commander to sign terms and surrender his sword at Yorktown,,, Cornwallis?
That's Hilarious, I'd pulled Marine Corp color guard detail in a 4th of July parade in that burg in 1980
(I think that was the year)

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]
