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

[reddyuta]

I think it's their one chance to get a tourniquet on this thing and do some measure of damage control. They are probably too stupid to realize it though.

If he sees the big picture then he should absolutely wash his hands off this ,this has the potential of getting people fired.

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

My draft was last night and I grabbed him at #19 after drafting Bell at #2. Let's just say my starting RB's are probably going to dominate week in and week out

Vindicated vindicated vindicated.......Now who's going to say that this wasn't all a set up?That's why Jerry's so mad. He knows what's going on.

 

[tyke1doe]

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

Wow!
There's as all kinds of shenanigans occurring in this case.
If Henderson doesn't seriously reduce or void the suspension, something's up.
How do you go against your lead investigator then bar her from the meeting that resulted in the suspension?

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Oh yea and while we're at it lets extend that wonderful Commissioner's contract. He's such a stand up guy.

Exactly. I was dumbstruck when I read that. On what grounds does the VP of Investigations have to bar the DIRECTOR of Investigations from this important meeting, especially since she was the one who spoke directly with Ms. Thompson?

If this isn't collusion on the league's part against Elliot, I don't know what is.

 

[Sydla]

The NFL had a predetermined outcome. And then manipulated the process and evidence to fit that outcome, which included ignoring their lead investigator.

Simple as that.

I'm glad I'm not Herald Henderson tonight. I don't think he's going to get much sleep.

What every member of the NFL press should do is call Goodell and ask for a comment. When he refuses to comment, indicate in a story that he was unwilling. He will get a tiny, tiny taste of what it feels like to be railroaded. And it will be perfectly ethical. In fact, it is the job of a decent journalist.

He won't comment. He's a coward. Just like after the Ray Rice incident. He disappeared and wouldn't show his face to anybody.

 

[ShortRound]

Jerrys gonna rip goodell a new *********

 

[Everson24]

This definitely makes Goodell and the league look like fools, at best, or unscrupulous at worst. At this point, can't believe there is any fairness or integrity in the League Office.

Getting real up in here!!!!!!!!!!

I've said this the past few seasons. In order for the Cowboys to ever win a Super Bowl again, we will have to be head and shoulders better than our competition because we will never get favorable calls. We are the equivalent of the 70's Raiders and the league is even more corrupt now.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

Meanwhile some of us have known for a long time the anti Cowboy bias....The league is ran by a bunch of northeastern elites, they aren't a fan of Texas in general. There was a grudge held by thousands of fans and media for years against Dallas because of the Kennedy assassination, speaking of conspiracies.

 

[Pabst]

What really concerns me is that this shows a systemic bias in the League Office towards New York and it's teams. It starts at the Commissioner and trickles all the way down. Remember in the early days of Deflategate, when it was intimated that league officials were telling Patriots officials "oooh, we got you now!" I didn't think much of it at the time, but after that debacle, this current one, league and Giant officials (and their owner ffs) being complicit in covering up the Josh Brown scandal, and of course the infamous "spirit of the cap" penalties against the Cowboys and Commanders in an uncapped year...

I mean, lord, how far down does the rabbit hole go? We know that the league officials in New York now handle all instant replay, taking it out of the hands of the officials. Have games been impacted by this? The Dez catch and Butler penalties spring to mind, but hey, there are always bad calls. Perhaps simple incompetence, and not malice, is to blame. Either way, the NFL continues to look poor.

The NFL should be completely unbiased and only interested in the competitive balance and upholding of football rules. Does anyone actually believe that anymore? Or, more importantly, does anyone in the League Office?

Probably Mara.

I still don't believe he'll do the right thing. The league office and their processes are nothing short of a farce. Maybe he'll recommend a reduction in the suspension, but that obviously won't cut it. This thing is going to court.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I hope the national media destroys the league office over this news. They deserve to be exposed. Like someone mentioned earlier, this is the same office that destroyed the Spygate evidence, and now acting all high and mighty.

It's too bad I don't watch ESPN. I'd like to see them backtrack. lol

It's funny. I was thinking the same thing.

Now, I know most fans (Cowboys and others) will scoff at this. But, it just seems like the hand of the NFL is always against us.

Oh I don't put nothing past them. They'll probably suspend him for the year for bringing this information out after all it's detrimental to the league.

Anyone who doesn't believe this now just doesn't want to see the truth.
