I may be an idiot for believing in the boy's but frankly I'm disappointed for other's not being idiots with me. You goid have given up on the season way too soon. I want to see how the boy's do. I believe in Dak. Again, maybe I'm an idiot.

The ongoing feud between NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is threatening the very union of owners and league offices, according to a report posted Friday by ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham.

Titled, “Roger Goodell has a Jerry Jones problem and nobody knows how it will end,” Van Natta and Wickersham take us behind the scenes of the issue that allegedly has the NFL on the brink of “all-out civil war” between owners and league executives.

The article opens with a doozy of a story, from the day Goodell called Jones on August 9 to let him know that a decision had been made in the case of Cowboys’ star running back Ezekiel Elliott and allegations that he had been abusive toward a former girlfriend. The league had been investigating for months. Goodell and a panel of advisors decided to give Elliott a six-game suspension, the punishment the NFL had settled on months earlier, after the Ray Rice debacle, for players involved in domestic violence incidents...

Yep, forget the worrying. It's a sure thing to be the best show in town. ;)

Win or lose, it's better than moping around just to fear a dreaded failure.

Let's just see where this name-calling feud ends up at...

You don't get it, do you?
You use the silly term perversion of justice.
First off, justice is subjective. Justice, in legal terms, means due process, ya know, charges, hearings, trial, sentencing, and even appeals and possibly jail time or fines.
This "perversion" of justice, barrister, came IN THE NFL!
All teams comply with NFL rules and dictates not only from management but from labor.
Learn to separate the 2 systems of "justice" and you'll sleep better, silly C.
And further more, you know and I know that if the accuser could run for 150 yards per game, you'd be yammering for her "justice."
You don't get it. Neither does Jerry. The diff is he has a big financial stake in this case and you are just enamored of Zeke's midriff and yardage.:facepalm:
I’m glad we agree this was a perversion of justice. I already knew this took place in the nfl’s system of justice, but thank you. And yes when Friel kept the lead investigator’s opinion and recomendation from the commissioner she was perverting justice.

Fundamental fairness was part of the labor agreement and most reasonable people, with sufficient knowledge of the case,(including 1 federal judge) agree that Elliott did not receive a fundamentally fair hearing by Goodell or a fair arbitration.

Justice is clearly subjective and that’s what we’re discussing. You feel it was fair because he agreed to be governed by the NFL discipline system by simply being selected in the NFL draft.

I don’t.

from someone who used to laugh and ridicule the tinfoil hat crew who is now firmly a believer in the anti-Cowboy conspiracy:

the Cowboys will never have meaningful success (postseason / SB) again, until all of the corruption is removed from NFL ownership and executive office(s)

I was hoping for the playoffs when we had Quincy Carter until we were finally ruled out. I even believed in Babe Laufeburg during his two game stretch and was still hoping for a playoff birth in the 7-9 season when we lost control of our own destiny and hoping for indirect entrance into playoffs via another teams win.

Today's corporate economics are not about whether you go belly up. They are not even about if you're making money hand over fist. It's about continual sales growth. Corporations don't care if you're making record breaking profit...if the sales are *plateauing* they get nervous. Why? Because everybody wants the option of selling their ownership and is sales are even plateauing, that looks less appealing to buyers.
These teams are sole proprietorships (or, in come cases, partnerships), not corporations (Green Bay notwithstanding). So if revenues decrease modestly, an individual owner can easily weather the storm. They don't have to worry about panicked stockholders jumping ship to put their money in some dot-com they think is a better investment. No NFL owner is going to sell his team over a short term 3% decline in revenue - ESPECIALLY since a decline in revenue directly leads to a decline in operating expenses by virtue of the fact that the salary cap would come down.

I don’t.
Never agreed it was a perversion of justice as you see it in a monolithic universal system of "justice" however one defines justice.
You just don't know the diff between judicial law and NFL CBA proceedings. Sad.

Uh yeah ok, and you don’t understand what fundamental fairness means and or how it wasn’t part of this process.(sadder:()Otherwise you’d understand that I’m not saying this case should get the same rights afforded in judicial law. Just simply the rights the cba provided.

We can have a broader discussion of justice if you’d like. If so would you consider using your broken English style of writing or maybe the United Kingdom?? Style— or whatever you call it. I’d like you to entertain me please.

"What Fundamental 'fairness' means"?
Jiminey cookies! You just blew my mind, old fellow!
Fairness? It has 10,000 meanings.
Cut off a hand? Split the contested proceeds 50-50? Give a widow a month to vacate the premises?
Blimey? I put in a call to Socrates, Judge Judy, Angelina Jolie at the U.N. and me 2-year teacher at art school for a definition on fairness, but so far no call backs to let me know what fairness is.
The last example of fairness was the plumbing company returning $100 for a $218 bill to adjust the toilet flow. And I am still steaming over that, mate!
Fairness?
Tell it to the Marines!o_O
What is life? What is justice? What is basic fairness in 100 cultures or 100 corporate meetings or 100 laws passed by parliament and George Clinton. (Cue in " Battle Hum of the Republic") ...
I am not a smart man. Me upbringing was humble. Me mum preferred the Camberwell 11 to making me meals and reciting the Queen's Christmas Message to good little boys. After the leg injury I would run after Father Christmas' carriage, limping, to get a tart or candy. And the horse was too fast ...
Fairness? It is a word or sentiment left to 4 billion (and counting) individuals ruminating the meaning of it.
You know fairness.
Me mind asks, "what art thus to a poor man, when best left to the Provence of the philosophical greats."
His truth is marching on ...:angry:

They should send Jerry a letter for conduct detrimental to the Cowboys. :facepalm:

It's been 20+ years of next to nothing. If he hasn't figured it out by now, he never will. This team is doomed under his command.
