Want to continue this argument? He was working on it from September and knew what was on it.....His words. Not mine

You don't understand what was going on there. Schefter heard about a video. He talked to people about it. Him "knowing" what was on the video is him having heard about it from someone. He never said it was all real. He repeatedly says that nothing may ever come out and that they have to get facts straight.

Definitely agree. I try not to go with the whole conspiracy theory of the league, specifically Mara, being against us, but crap like this just makes me think its true. Just seems like they are digging up stuff or trying to wait until elliot does something else so they can punish him.

stuff that happens before the draft allegedly isn't punishable unless of course it is a Cowboy player

You forgot finding Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

I've never seen Nessie but I have seen Bigfoot

Regardless of what you believe his intentions or thought process, in this particular situation would you not agree, with a man's reputation on the line ,and with such uncertainty pertaining to said evidence that the best practice would be say absolutely nothing? He chose to go that path with intent.

From what i remember it was the July BEFORE the draft. So when he was still in college. Maybe I am wrong. But I am under the impression he hasnt seen that woman since.

She filed reports on 2 separate occasions. 1 in Ohio in Feb and the other was in July after the draft in Florida. NFL investigation is centered around the July incident. Like others around here just based on things we have heard and read I think Zeke should be cleared of any action by the league.

Mara still clinging to a 4 game suspension to start the season.

Oh.. We play the Giants week 1..... How convenient. :rolleyes:

1st offense for domestic abuse is 6 games.

A baseline suspension of six games without pay for violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse, other forms of family violence, or sexual assault, with consideration given to possible mitigating or aggravating circumstances.

If they wait till late in the season and suspend him while Cowboys are making a push fir playoffs. I will never watch football again.

After the last 2 playoff FIASCOS. I have been very hesitant to love this game the way I once did.

If this turns into a Circus I am done.

I am tired of being held hostage by a league that loves to punish this organization for no other reason but to play with the EMOTIONS OF THE " BIGGEST FAN BASE" in the league

If anything comes of this

I AM DONE

No you're not.

If the league is enough to make you be done. Then you're not really a huge fan of this team.

I'm just going to assume you're letting your emotions talk.

No.

He answered a question, but essentially did say nothing.

What I cannot understand is how the league has decided that they can investigate players and come to opposite conclusions than law enforcement and render discipline. I could understand it in a case where evidence such as a video is made public and then no charges are brought due to a financial settlement but the league should not have the right to decide who is telling the truth in a he said she said case where law enforcement declines to bring charges. Players should not be subject to was Zeke has simply because some ex or acquaintance makes a flimsy charge. The NFL should have been done looking at this in a few weeks and come down on the side of its player due to lack of evidence, no charges, and exculpatory evidence provided by Zeke and other witnesses. I hope he has a lawyer ready to sue the league and the girl for millions if they try a discipline him. I wish he would have already come out and threatened a lawsuit if they don't exonerate him. He could be losing millions in endorsements while this is hanging over him.

LOL.

Are you serious here?

Typical media reporting there by him. Either he'll have a story or he won't. So he covered his butt. Just like he's doing here with the Elliott story.
