Opening for Elliott? NFL investigator Kia Roberts recommended no suspension **merged**

[Mr Cowboy]

If I'm not mistaken, the report from the league showed that Friel said that Thompson was not credible witness. Yet she went with a 6 game suspension!

I think this might not only eliminate the suspension, but open up Goodell and the NFL for defamation as this to me indicates malice.

Someone should lose their job(s) over this. The NFL will get the embarrassment due to them. What a joke!!!

So your lead investigator recommends no suspension, but somehow you decide to essentially ether the young man's reputation. I'm so disgusted!!!

Somebody described this as a lynch mob. I understand the racial overtones of the phrase.

But it fits.

Well this seems conclusive... Just wish I had more fantasy drafts before this came out.

It was definitely malicious.

That is correct.

Unprecedented levels of treachery. This is the lead investigator folks, the lead investigator was not included in the meeting to discuss discipline for Zeke

I think people are going to get fired over this, but Goodell will likely make somebody else the scapegoat.

 

[ThreeandOut]

There's a reason Goodell hasn't gotten that extension.

 

[adbutcher]

Mark Cuban warned the NFL - Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

It is hubris. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall...

 

[Don Corleone]

I think this might not only eliminate the suspension, but open up Goodell and the NFL for defamation as this to me indicates malice.

If you're convinced, then I'm convinced.

Kudos to all of you that drafted Zeke Rd. 2 or later in your Fantasy Drafts. That boy playin' Week 1.

 

[crashintonickdm]

i passed on him because i figured hed be out at least 3 weeks.

ironically, i ended up with murray a few rounds later.

The nflpa should be demanding he go.

I only wish both of my drafts were tonight. One is next Wednesday.

That's what I took from it as well.

As I said from the beginning, we knew these advisers were not on the up-and-up when Peter Harvey stated that Tiffany Thompson was the only eyewitness here.

Followed by Jerry.

Yes. It fits. What else fits?

 

[Bigdog]

Zeke could sue the NFL for defamation of character and make billions. Now Jerry doesn't have to pay him the boatload of money he is going to command in his second contract. I trying to look at the positive and the silver lining beyond getting the suspension nullified.

Goodell better hope that the players don't vote Cyrus Mehri to be the head of the player's union. He'll be gone in no time.
