Zeke decision coming today

[Philmonroe]

For me, it's simple. If there's any truth at all to what Zeke did, he should accept whatever the penalty is, and count his lucky stars if the suspension is reduced. If there's no truth at all to what he did, he should fight tooth and nail to clear his name until completely exonerated. This is more than just football. This is about the man's life and how he will be perceived through it. If he's guilty, he better grow up and straighten himself out. Otherwise, guess what, next time you blow your career. If he's innocent and accepts any form of guilt just to "move this along" not only is that defamation of character but he loses millions in game checks, sponsorships, potential sponsorships, etc.

It boils down to being a man and accepting when your wrong and correcting it, or standing up for yourself and refusing to give in if you're right. Only Zeke knows which is the right move. But if he's right and fights this till the end, and wins; another layer of the NFL circus is revealed.

Your first sentence sounds good but isn't based in reality. Not many people probably yourself included would be like you got me let me sit down even if you did do it with this type of money on the line. That's a situation where you'd have to actually do it for me to believe anybody because I see folks not admitting guilt on way less and dang sure for less money. Now add the money and other factors I don't think it's that easy as people like to make it seem. Now in theory I do agree though but it's not realistic at all

But but Henderson is supposed to be neutral and unbiased.

LOL

He is! -- Goodell

 

[YosemiteSam]

I'm so over this BS.

Here, let me press reset for you. All better now?

 

[jday]

It comes down to "whether" or not they remove that label. Use of "rather" in this context is not an uncommon mistake but it is a mistake nonetheless.

Sorry for being that guy. Your writing is generally quite good. For whatever reason I'm driven to distraction by this, however.

Nice catch / thanks!

Had a buddy doing that. One of the most dangerous jobs over there he said

It's definitely a dangerous job, but we all know that it's no such thing as safe in the military.

Maybe, just, maybe, the post didnt "land or resonate" because it wasnt meant for you or anyone other than the poster I was addressing.

The fact that you thought it might be or could be about someone, which might have been a "shot", but you werent sure and that maybe, perhaps, you interpreted it for them and therefore you needed to front-run on the chance it was to ensure your hero fix, could be a catalyst that is something for which can reflect with introspection.

And you can't speak up for a friend, when the friend wasnt besmirched. You are looking for things that arent there - on purpose, to fill some need.

So, please. stahp.

Not on purpose. But I consider this a clarification, and I do apologize.

I, like you, like Risen and his fluffy cheeks and rosy red lips. Your post was vague. I thought it a response to my pal. I was wrong. Please forgive me.

Devil dolphin over here

Never heard that one but I love it!

Im gonna shoot that one to some of the Navy Corpseman I served with to see if they heard it. Most of them where green side there whole career so they may have never heard it.

Cool Navy/Marine story. We did Phantom Fury in 2004 as part of the 31st MEU. While we were in Fallujah, the Tsunami hit Thailand and the Naval group we rolled with broke off and did disaster relief. So our MEU essentially did both the Battle of Fallujah and the disaster aide for Thailand simultaneously

Man, anybody that's infantry will ALWAYS have my respect. I believe foot soldiers are the backbone of the Army.

Bro, we had to do QRF to 88M sites a few times. ****ed up ****. 5-Tons with bolted on armor from Kuwait. Just gnarly vs 155 mm ieds

They would ask for volunteers to escort them along with the MPs to places like FOB Spyker or Anaconda, and no one would raise their hands.

Our respect is always with you, brother.

This crap is taking longer than one of @jday posts. Lol

[Beast_from_East]

The POS, and the POS NFL fraud kangaroo court is a complete joke!

If you're a judge you have to be shaking your head at this situation. How can you not?

Boy they are really trying to stick it to Zeke for nothing! This smells as a shot a Jerry and the Boys. Hosed in the last 2 playoff games and now this? Yea sure there is no conspiracy against the boys. You fools who think there isn't a conspiracy against the boys need to open your eyes. It's obvious as the day is blue. Screw the league and that fraud Goodell-blowhard

If you are mad now, Just wait till you see the officiating Sunday night

lol

Thanks man, the respect is mutual.

All depends on the individual Phil. As for me, I've always taken responsibility for the things I've done wrong (and there have been many). On the contrary, if I'm innocent of something, I'll be damned if I'm just gonna lay down on it. I agree with what you say though. There ARE a lot of people out there who will fight no matter what to get their way. Integrity is just a word to some.

Marine. Brother. You're a warrior, Darth

 

[mmohican29]

The NFL has become a blatantly corrupt organization.

There is no disguising this any longer.

 

[Corso]

This crap is taking longer than one of @jday posts. Lol

The man needs to embrace the fact that he's a writer... Through and through!

 

[thinwhiteduke]

is there a pick'em around here?

I'm fuming and oh brother I know how bad it's gonna be.

 

[Zordon]

Does anybody know how much of a "norm" it is for the NFL to announce their suspensions by 4pm, Tuesday?

Haha it's funny that a marine female is the first person to ever teach me that term. We were hanging out at AIT school right after boot camp and she started calling me devil dolphin whenever I called her a devil dog.
