Ezekiel Elliott reportedly bracing for suspension

Danny Kanell : 7/14/2017 12:32 pm
Sounds like it could be relatively short but we get them week 1 so...

Bummer

There were no charges filed for the 2016 incident in which Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was accused of allegedly beating a woman with whom he had a sexual relationship.

The Cowboys and most of those covering the NFL thought there would be no punishment handed down after it was revealed that Elliott allegedly had proof his accuser asked a friend to lie for her, but that assumption took a twist with a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"There's a growing sense that Zeke Elliott is going to face some sort of discipline and it very well could include a short suspension," Schefter said Friday morning.

he's an adorable hero of the Star, and he jumped in the Salvation Army kettle. I can see him getting benched for a series. But a suspension? Even Gingerbot isn't that stupid.
Didn't the girl send him a text saying she was going to end him?

I don't understand this whole thing or the NFL's way of handling discipline.

Suspension?

Man, that's too bad...
Someone needs to let Romo know about all this...  
trueblueinpw : 7/14/2017 1:04 pm : link
Just so he can maybe adjust his preseason analysis of the Pokes. And just because its funny, here's Zeke and Cole Beasley (credit to whoever first posted this image). Its so wrong, yet, so right. #mericasteam

Jerra will have all of his players on the field opening day!

I certainly won't be sad if he misses Week 1 - but the NFL's way of handling this shit is really ridiculous.

I'm not claiming it's not deserved, but the Cowboys have to be the most suspended team in the league.

Where does this "that old scumbag just seems to get his way" narrative come from?

Suspension announced in late August
Dallas appeals suspension
NFL considers and upholds suspension
Elliot misses home game vs Rams.

Why short?  
Deej : 7/14/2017 1:37 pm : link
Either the NFL has concluded that he did it, in which case a substantial suspension is warranted, or the NFL has determined he didnt do it or there is insufficient proof, in which case he shouldnt be punished.

No moral compass with this league.

It's the NFL. Are you surprised? Personally I think it's a joke that he's even being considered for a punishment.

You're investigation showed he shouldn't even be considered for disciplinary action?
If he's suspended for game 1, good for us, but Dallas is deep at RB

They may not miss much with Elliott out anyway.

Just an opinion. The girl blatantly lied. And I'm not complaining, believe me.

Danny the last thing I want to do is defend Goodell  
pjcas18 : 7/14/2017 3:10 pm : link
or the NFL disciplinary policy, it's a shit show.

But they are in a legit paradox here. If they don't investigate because the victim seemed unreliable they'll be crucified in the PR dept, if they do investigate then it's a witch hunt.

Josh Brown, Ray Rice, Greg Hardy to name a few have influenced the NFL right or wrong to over-investigate perhaps, but I'm ok with the investigate first decide punishment later approach.

I just wish it were more expeditious, consistent, and transparent - especially if they're going outside the law.

That the NFL is waiting for Zeke to respond to one of there latest findings and it was a recent report. From that it seemed like something the public hasn't heard about.
I do see how anyone can say they mishandled this  
adamg : 7/14/2017 5:53 pm : link
They've seemingly been very methodical with this investigation. There haven't been leaks showing malpractice or evidence of reactionary judgments.
Don't* see
