Two things I don't want to hear about anymore............the unmentionable and the Zeke situation. Let's play football.

Sorry. This is not football anymore.

It is a mirror for societal issues and a platform for making what we all see every day infringe upon what should be escapism.

Football in reality does not exist any longer.

The NFL has morphed into the XFL, except that the dramatic story lines are not scripted like professional wrestling.

The stories are cast with real life players and their drama. And the NFL is doing it with a clear and serious purpose.

They exploit their own players to defend the reputation of "the shield".

Whatever that means.

I cannot speak for everyone else, I never viewed the "NFL" as an entity. I saw teams, games and players growing up.

I guess I was wrong.

I should have recognized and worshiped the corporate entity.

Seems appropriate they aired the first Draft Show today cause we're headed for a pretty high pick at this point.

Whether he is guilty or not, I didn't like how he handled his off season. In the news for idiotic stuff too much for me and I know this has been argued but I thought he looked like a fat slob when he got to camp. He obviously didn't take being the RB for the Dallas Cowboys seriously in the off-season. Certainly not like Dak and how he is handling his business. I have low tolerance and patience for doucchebaggery. He still has some time but not much. RB is where you really don't have much time and you certainly have to keep your body in shape to be a "long timer". I just think he is pretty replaceable. Would take the Barkley kid from Penn St. over Zeke in a second.
I agree,. After last season I was super pumped about this year. Yeah we lost to the Packers in a game that arguably the NFL refs decided. But I was excited about the future. The offensive line, Dak, Zeke, etc. Then the St. Patty's day parade (or whatever that parade was) came and Elliott pulled that girl's top down. At that moment all of my excitement went out the window. Even after a strong draft I was not excited. The idea that our offense, and team for that matter, was centered around our running game and our star running back is being investigated by the NFL. During this investigation he does his St. Patty's day parade peep show of the girl he was with. I remember thinking, hey moron you're being investigated for DV and how you treated your last girlfriend and now you're on TV objectifying a woman. Brilliant.

Personally I wouldn't mind if he received a lifetime ban. He's an idiot. He is just a plain stupid person. I don't believe he did anything wrong with Tiffany Thompson and I don't believe he is guilty of DV (from the little I know about it). But he's an idiot for how he acted at the parade. Right or wrong he was under investigation by the NFL. You don't treat a woman like an object. But you especially don't treat a woman like an object when you're being investigated for beating up another woman. That is just plain dumb. He set the tone for the off season with his investigation and then antics and it caused an off season of anxiety and discussion about whether he'll play or not. I feel like I have seen enough of him and it would be better if he was banned for life. I don't want him playing for another team and I don't want him on our team anymore, hence the hope for the lifetime ban. I feel the running game is our key to success and we can't have the key to our success be this stupid, idiotic, and moronic. What moron acts in a manner that makes his employer look bad while he is being investigated for making his employer look bad. What a dummy, he's an idiot. We as a team can not depend on idiots if we ever want to be contenders.

I won't go that far but your point is not without remiss. A lot of red flags with this kid. Speeding, partying, being a slob....all red flags to me especially for someone with MILLIONS on the line. He still has some time to get right but thankfully we aren't married to the guy, only have to worry about his rookie contract if he flames out. Well on his way. Total knucklehead so far...

:lmao:

Zeke could never play another game and he had a better career than Richardson.

Richardson had 3.7 ypc behind a horrific Browns OL with no passing game to speak of.

Zeke is managing to do the same behind this line and in this offense.

What if the running game fixes itself with him out of the lineup? Maybe he's the problem? All the off the field concerns heading into this season and appearing slower and out of shape.

The offensive line is getting all the blame for our anemic ground game... maybe Elliott is contributing just as well. We haven't had this poor of a running game since 2012.
