Cowboys zeke elliot suspened 6 games

[DirtDirtDirt]

I do believe you haven't read it yet.

I really dont care to be honest.....If Zeke's suspension is overturned, Im winning my fantasy leagues

Yes of course, he was behind the Brady suspension as well, cause of there's one thing we know, It's how badly the Giants don't wanna face the Jets

"Mara wasn’t the first owner to stand up for Goodell since the Deflategate punishment came down, but the Big Blue boss’ comments certainly were the most vocal and detailed defense of the commissioner."

John Mara

One would imagine the intensity of the walkie-talkie investigation was as tepid as the one that led to the one-game suspension of Giants kicker Josh Brown in the offseason. That suspension was quietly handed down without explanation after the league’s investigation poobah Lisa Friel -- lifelong Giants fan with an actual shrine to the team cobbled together in her home -- farmed out the domestic-violence investigation of Brown and the league turned up virtually nothing.

It's a risky move for the Cowboys to go "all in" against the NFL with this.

Circumstantially (based on our limited knowledge) the favor points towards Elliot and the Cowboys. However there's always that inconsistent unknown with the NFL and the way it works.

The difference of "importance" (quoted because yes, all games are important, however some weigh in more than others) of the front end of their schedule vs the back end is certainly significant.

Say Elliot just serves a 6 game suspension (we know this won't happen though) he'll miss:

NYG, DEN, ARI, LAR, GB, SF

LAR and SF are easily winnable no matter what. Obviously DEN is out of conference. The most important game is NYG and ARI/GB are next tier down games.

The back end of the schedule:

LAC, WAS, NYG, OAK, SEA, PHI

Three divisional games and one NFC game.

Seems that if this thing drags out in that stretch of schedule and Elliot misses, 2, 4 or 6 games it will be far more detrimental.

Is that you Mara?????

Mara is all behind this - Oh wait, we all already know that......

Looks like we found the tenant living rent free in this guy's head.

The insecurity of the New England fanbase, is only topped by the insecurity of the New England media

Everything they write is like a bunch of New England fanboys, with no regard for journalistic integrity

Catch you later dirt, I have to go to the DMV.....

Catch you later dirt, I have to go to the DMV.....

Take this with you

 

[Southieinnc]

Take this with you

Here's one for you:

"Kia Roberts, the NFL's director of investigations, testified that she would have recommended no suspension for Elliott. According to ESPN, Roberts was the only NFL investigator to interview Tiffany Thompson, the accuser."

Report: NFL's lead investigator recommended no suspension for Ezekiel Elliott

What happened to the DMV

I am a Dallas hater but that is f$cked up man. I would be pissed if I was a Dallas fan. The NFL investigative process seems very arbitrary.

Tiffany Thompson

Her first scene, "s3x with a supermodel," is a thing of legends.

 

[Rex Racer]

The NFL really botched this one and this mess could be tied up in the courts for years. The best lawyers in the country are going to get on a waiting list when Zeke sues the NFL for potential lost wages and defecation of character. This case makes bradys case look like a zit on a horses ass

 

[Rock Strongo]

this whole zeke things stinks the more i read into it.

no charges recommended...yet the giants fan who literally has eli fat heads in her office, suspends him for 6.

and the woman who suggested no charges wasnt allowed in the discussion.

if this turns out to be a fanboy suspension, the NFL should blow up its domestic violence council and get REAL people in there.

FWIW i believe zeke did hit her, and hes had a pattern. i just feel the "judge" in this is grossly biased.

So you think he hit her
Is Guilty
And The "Giants fan" got it right


You could have just said that

 

[knowyourenemy]

And what about the text messages Thompson asked one of her friends to lie and say Zeke did it when in reality those bruises were from a chick that she fought with at a bar that night? Just gonna ignore those and go with your ill-conceived opinion?

So i'll ask AGAIN. Please provide any proof Zeke hit this woman.

That's also evidence. You guys need to stop acting like there's got to be a video of Elliott beating her in order for there to be proof. There is such a thing as circumstantial evidence.

As noted, there is both direct evidence (Thompson's testimony about the alleged assaults) and circumstantial evidence (photos of the bruises, knowledge that Elliott had motive and opportunity to harm her, lack of a credible alternative explanation, text messages and phone records that support the victim's story).

None of that is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Elliott did anything -- but it's enough to draw an inference that Elliott likely caused her harm. But, of course, anyone drawing that inference could be wrong. You've also got to weigh the counter-evidence. The bar fight could explain some of the bruises -- but they wouldn't be able to explain how she had new bruises on different days, based on the photographic evidence.

But this isn't about whether Elliott did it or not -- it's about whether the NFL's process was fair. And it seems like it may not have been.

no, i think the whole thing stinks from an NFL side of things.

he probably hit her. more than once. one woman says she recommends no charges, and a giants fan immediately slaps him with 6 games, and refuses to let the original investigator testify.

that stinks. there is no "due process".
