Ezekiel Elliot Suspended 6 Games

[old duke]

Word is that Elliott's suspension may be reduced to 2 game!!!

Looks like Jerrah is running the NFL. That sucks!!

I hope some LBers or safeties punish that creep whenever they can, without getting fined!!

Not being convicted in court yet, I thought 6 was pretty steep from the start. They even said it was the heaviest first offense the NFL ever gave out. I think 2 is a bit weak. I fully expected them to take 2 off, and it be a 4 game suspension. I wonder what the reason for the reduction is? Is it based on investigated merits of the case not being what they originally said?? or is simply a reduction for the offense, which is still believed to be the case??? If so, that is pretty sad for the NFL.

Lane gets 10 games for taking a protein supplement, and Elliott gets a few or none games for numerous incidents + abusing a woman????

It is more than that. Elliot has issues and he refuses to address them. Check this article out. Sex, drugs and abortion: How Ezekiel Elliott's own defense might make him look worse

NFL upheld Elliott's suspension for 6 games!!!

Bye bye, cowgirls!!

It doesn't affect us, but one wrinkle of the decision being upheld is that, since it came late yesterday, after a 4 pm deadline for games this week, Zeke can and will play against the Giants. He will then miss the subsequent six games.

It's not a simple situation ... there's a chance this thing can be delayed till next season and he plays "all" games this season.
