Zeke's accuser admitted to talk of leveraging sex videos of RB for money

[Stash]

I'm not sure where this is going.

You said this has nothing to do with her.

You're mistaken, I never said any such thing.

I am stating this has everything to do with her credibility considering that's the only real evidence....her word over Zeke's word. There is literally no other proof that he touched her that I'm aware of.

Since that is the case, Zeke's legal team has every right to attack her credibility since there is quite a bit of evidence out there questioning both her credibility and her motives. If his legal team can effectively sway the court of public opinion then maybe just maybe they can get the commissioner to drop this woman beater label.

Maybe he did hit her...nobody knows but those two. I am only relaying that her word means everything in a case lacking evidence or actual police charges.

You've apparently got me mixed up with someone else.

 

[Stash]

LOL, those are the options. I laid out the options. Read.

You laid out your options.

Realize.

You assumed each and every decision being made that got you to the result you wanted, none of which may happen at all. Much like what the NFL did.

Read.

He said he's working on the story right now. Not ready to discuss it.

Seems odd they would've withheld anything considering they took a damn year and struggled to seemingly find anything concrete before making the ruling. But i guess we'll all wait and see.

If they had suspended EE for impossibly bad judgment, no one could argue that. No matter what happens with the suspension, hopefully this will teach him to better mind the company he keeps.

What on earth was he doing with this girl? There are thousands of single attractive women available to a rich young guy like him. How was it not evident to him Day 1 that this girl was a sociopath?

And what is the NFL and their "committee" thinking? There's no way EE should be suspended based on nothing more than the word of this girl. Yet someone on this board suggested it added to the girl's credibility that she owned up to several lies....

You also generally lead with your best stuff when making a controversial announcement like this.

When contacted for a statement, the accuser's friend refused to expound on regarding the exchange.

“I have literally no comment on that,” said the friend. “I already spoke to somebody about that. It was an investigator. It was like, someone working for the NFL. It was like years ago, so I don’t even remember what I said.”



And she further claims she doesn't even remember what she told the league investigator at the time.

"This was literally like a year ago. I have no idea.”

Aside from the fact it's much easier to forget a lie only months later than it would to forget the truth, this all furthers the point being driven home by Elliott and his representation: His accuser's credibility is so badly damaged that nothing she says could be taken as anything honest, but instead should be immediately looked upon with an intense and very deliberate suspicion -- considering there are now multiple recorded incidents of Ms. Thompson threatening Elliott in one way or another.

Yahoo Sports was also able to obtain the NFLPA's rebuttal to the NFL regarding the above exchange, wherein they labeled it “Ms. Thompson’s Highly Inappropriate Conduct – Including Contemplated Extortion – Punctuates Her Lack Of Credibility.”

Wolf tickets. If they had evidence of assault they would have laid it out to justify the suspension.

Like you've said, if this was about making poor decisions, he'd be guilty. Open and shut case.

And what is the NFL and their "committee" thinking? There's no way EE should be suspended based on nothing more than the word of this girl. Yet someone on this board suggested it added to the girl's credibility that she owned up to several lies....

As for the NFL, I think that were so eager to try to correct past mistakes that they jumped head long into making an even bigger one.

As for that poster? Dropped on their head as a child?

Withheld from us, I meant.

Zeke is winning the public opinion on this, but if there's a big pile of evidence against him that the public doesn't know, it could be all for naught.

I hope not.

The same yahoo guy that released this story this morning on the Cowboys broadcast station. He said that's the prevailing thought.

When Zeke shows his full hand in the appeal, the league will also show theirs.

He also said that one game is a given just for the "boob" incident.

If they try and suspend him for that incident, expect federal courts to become involved. They already stated that the suspension was not based on that incident in their report, if they go back and punish him for something he was cleared of we have a situation similar to when Ray Rice took the NFL to court for increasing his suspension just because of the tape being released.

The actual text is in the link, this poor girl sounds like she needs some serious counseling.

Been saying this all along, unfortunately, her being a liar doesn't mean it didn't happen:

Its sad that women can do these kinds of things to men and get away with it. Domestic violence is a one way street. And to think that women have this avenue to hurt men is ridiculous.

 

[Thefeelofcotton]

My issue with this whole "investigation" is that the NFL said in their report that because Zeke can't prove he DIDN'T do it, he's guilty. This country is innocent until proven otherwise, but this isn't in the court system (yet), so technically the NFL and that investigative team they hired can punish Zeke just for being at a St. Patty's day parade if they want. Hopefully, if RG doesn't lower the suspension to an agreeable amount they take this to the highest possible court because then it will be a matter of proving he DID hit her, rather than a matter of him having to prove he didn't hit her.

He was not cleared of it. It's on tape. That part, he's clearly guilty. It was part of the investigation and included in the suspension.

It was part of the investigation and clearly stated that while it had no impact on the suspension, it did show poor judgement. Hence, them stating it had no impact on the suspension, means they can't use it as a reason to uphold a game or two suspension if he's cleared of the DV charges.

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Goodell sure is a QUACK !!!!

 

[Doomsday101]

What I do not get is one of the investigator said they looked at the photos from Thompson phone that she took and medical experts looked at these photos to determine abuse. Now these photos are her photos, she never went to a hospital or doctor where they normally will take photos of injuries in cases of Domestic Abuse. So we are to take her photos as the truth and medical experts can make a determination without actually examining the victim?

They said it had no impact on the six games, which was a given under the DV policy. This isn't criminal court. They can do what they want.

Not only that but if the league has information against Zeke that hasnt been made publuc and was damaging to Zeke he wouldnt fight it so hard because you can damn well bet Zeke and his lawyers have seen ALL the evidence the Nfl has, so I doubt Goodell has any "real" bullets to use

One of the pics looks like boxers fracture.

Even sadder that they hurt the case of those actually being abused. But there's needs to be justice both ways, and those making false claims and lying need to be punished for it too.
