Those were news reports.
The NFL made it clear that he was not yet suspended when the team attempted to have him practice early.

He wasn't suspended but he couldn't practice. Really?

Could you please speak these posts out loud before posting? You are making no sense.

They said he wasn't yet in compliance. That's likely linked to the issues with his agent. Probably why he and the agent parted ways.

And as always, players look a certain way and you have a whole series of ignant notions about them.
Do you even believe what you say at times? This would be a good opportunity for you to make some sense, otherwise, you are just embarrassing the team.

Yes. Supporting a player with legitimate issues. That's an embarrassment to the team.

An employer supporting an employee with issues. Ridiculous if that kid doesn't look like yours.

I might be an embarrassment to the team but you, sir (or ma'am) are an embarrassment to our nation with your knee jerk reactions

We did manipulate the salary cap but it wasn't against the rules at the time. Jones was just smarter than the other owners and thus was consequenced for it because it created an unfair playing field in free agency. The owners , Mara mostly, pushed for the consequences since the Boys had a lot of money to spend if they were not.

How can you manipulate a salary cap that didn't exist? There was no salary cap that season, and that was the bargaining chip of the NFLPA. Saying we manipulated "spirits" and what not is supporting the illegal collusion owners spearheaded by pukes like Mara were doing. You also fail to mention the Gnats were over cap space and the punishment to the Cowboys and Skins awarded cap space to the Gnats to get them just under. If you really believe the Gnat propaganda Mara and crew spewed go post at Big Blue.

Not in the NFL universe. And certainly not if you play for a northeast team.

You clearly did not read this well or I didn't explain it well. We manipulated our salaries by front loading the contracts which was nothing wrong with that. Jones and Snyder were smarter than the other owners in doing this. Many people including the media were on our side about this. One of the reason why CBA went through was for the Cowboys and Resskins to be punished or the owners would not signed the agreement. Mara pushed this and Jones did not oppose like Snyder did because he did not want to go against the other owners although many people thought he should had. I have said this several times in other posts.

Personally Jerry & Co should take this up and make a stink.

I agree, Jerry tends to err heavily on the League side of caution. I believe also, everyone & JJ all know he's the man in this league......

It's something Mr Jones should do......go to bat for his guy in regards to the league

Apologies if I misunderstood your intent. However, to quote "We did manipulate the salary cap but it wasn't against the rules at the time." you did state we manipulated the salary cap, which did not exist that season. My reading skills are just fine. Do you mean what you say, or say what you mean?

Well, regardless of anything else and just speaking objectively, if he was to attempt a power play, now would be the time to do it. The Cowboys have carried the NFL on it's back this year as far as viewers in an otherwise bad year. Our game next week will probably be the highest viewed game of the season.

My apology for not being clear. I met to say salaries. Your reading skills are fine. It is mine writing skills that are not. Sorry for the confusion.

Not yet suspended under his current suspension. He was still under the 10 game but the full season hadn't been issued yet, which is the entire point of the thread you're misunderstanding.

His suspension wasn't issued because he was suspended? That's a ridiculous statement.

The suspension is issued is when the player is notified of the suspension not the date the suspension starts.

I would hang on to that card in the event of a zeke BS suspension.

This statement doesn't make any sense. You are speaking as if this is a one shot thing. Use it and it's done. That isn't how this works.

If the league breaks it's own rules, you use whatever means necessary to force a correction. If they do it twice, YOU do it twice. The more they lose, the less likely they are to continue down that path.

His FULL SEASON suspension wasn't issued because he was suspended UNDER A DIFFERENT SUSPENSION ? That's a ridiculous statement.

The suspension is issued is when the player is notified of the suspension not the date the suspension starts.
It's only ridiculous because you're confused.

And yet it's the reason this thread that you're embarrassing yourself in exists.

I'm getting a little uncomfortable with the peace and love on this board right now. Please resume the personal attacks and insults.

No, it is ridiculous because you are presenting a flimsy, logically inconsistent conspiracy theory.

To me it is not appropriate to personally attack or insult on a message board that is filled with fans who are supporting a team that we all love. It is cowardly act that is just not right, imo.
