Hell yes.

You don't get suspended 6

games unless you've actually done what you're accused of, imo..Am I being naive here?
3 days to appeal  
Joey from GlenCove : 8/11/2017 12:12 pm : link
League will hear the appeal within 10 days.

Unlikely he plays v gmen
They'll reduce it down to

no more than four.

But damn.... I know JJ is blowing a gasket.
Probably 3-4 when all is said and done...  
Dunedin81 : 8/11/2017 12:12 pm : link
but suggests that the NFL knows a good deal more than what the public does. He's awful young to be getting a lifetime achievement award sort of punishment. Very talented player but he's got to get a handle on his behavior off the field or his career is going to be cut short.
Awesome!!!

Cue the usual Cowboys excuse why they lost after week 1
But they won't be at full strength

when we beat their asses!

Ha ha! Puck the Cowpies!
Yesssss

Deuces cowshits - here's to another Dallas 8-8 season
If the 6 game suspension holds  
ny2plano : 8/11/2017 12:14 pm : link
No way the Cowboys are still the favorite to win the division.
I knew I should have taken the under while I had the chance lol  
DennyInDenville : 8/11/2017 12:14 pm : link
Damn
Yeah based on what we know  
Kyle in NY : 8/11/2017 12:14 pm : link
this is pretty excessive. So there must be something the NFL knows that isn't publicly known.

Either that or they're just going for broke on every DV suspension since Ray Rice.

I'll always appreciate Zeke for what he did for Ohio State. But it's time for him to grow up.
He'll have this stain on him the rest of his life.  
bceagle05 : 8/11/2017 12:15 pm : link
Good.
Good  
ZogZerg : 8/11/2017 12:15 pm : link
F the cowboys!
Even if it gets reduced I can't imagine  
ryanmkeane : 8/11/2017 12:15 pm : link
they will scrap the ENTIRE suspension right? Looks like he's gonna be out week 1 baby

Well schefter just said it should affect the start of the season. I'm not sure what that means

This also makes Jerry Jones look terrible to the public eye.

being Cowboys.
This is the right thing  
The 12th Man : 8/11/2017 12:16 pm : link
being done by the NFL. Cowboy fans are going to lose it over this which is just fine by me. At this point are we at double digits for Cowboys who are suspended for game.
I'll believe it when I see it...  
Giantfan in skinland : 8/11/2017 12:17 pm : link
Even if they handle the internal appeal in time for him to miss the Giants, any reason not expect to litigation like we saw with Brady that pushes it?

I expect to see it reduced on appeal by the NFL and then litigated until next season by Jerruh.

I really, really would have liked to face them at full strength for week 1.

arcarsenal : 8/11/2017 12:18 pm : link
I know the NFL is totally out of sorts when it comes to dropping the hammer and there seems to be no consistency... but for him to get 6, they must have some pretty legitimate evidence.
Cowboy fans right now

shop and i could add Zeke to the FG block team:

Love it.  
Mr. Bungle : 8/11/2017 12:20 pm : link
Fuck that whole team and their record-setting number of player suspensions. And their fans. Especially the ones in Jersey.
"This seems like the right move"

And the built in excuse  
Matt in SGS : 8/11/2017 12:21 pm : link
for Dallas' regression this year, regardless of Zeke being there or not, is now in place. I thought they were going to go 9-7 or 8-8 this year before this. McFadden is still a good back, but he's no Elliott. Cheer up Cowboy fans, now they and Jerry can blame Goodell when they get it handed to them this year rather than looking at the fact that they were healthy and lucky last year, and this year with a revamped OL, no defensive depth, a bunch of suspensions, they are going to be on the outside looking in. But yes, go ahead and blame Goodell for this suspension when they miss the playoffs.

Why do people compare this to Brady?  
ZogZerg : 8/11/2017 12:22 pm : link
Did Brady have a domestic violence claim against him?

No. This is a different situation.
I wouldn't be so quick to bury the Cowboys.  
Section331 : 8/11/2017 12:23 pm : link
Zeke's good, but McFadden is a solid replacement. If the Cowboys struggle, it will be due to a porous defense and/or Dak takes a step backward.

There are rumors that Zeke destroyed his phone that had evidence on it.

That's like saying...why do people compare the Giants and Cowboys, one wears a blue jersey and the other doesn't. You can compare because they are both suspended and it appears as though the organizations disagree with the suspensions and their owners will probably do whatever it takes to try and clear them.

It's comparable to Brady only because both suspensions were handed out under the guideline of the NFL personal conduct policy which has a separate appeals process from on-field behavior suspensions.

they must have caught him

I'm not burying the Cowboys, but every other RB on that roster is a clear step down from EE. They are not the same team without him, and opposing defenses can focus a bit more on stopping the pass. We'll see if Prescott can adapt.
Well deserved  
grizz299 : 8/11/2017 12:27 pm : link
Not so much, I think, the original DV charges but a "hundred cuts' and behavior that was accelerating not declining.

That's just it. McFadden is a good back (when healthy) and he probably will do ok, but not great for them. Dallas' bigger problem is people will point to their OL as the greatest thing ever again, without doing their homework (step down from Leary/Collins to Cooper and Collins out of place at right tackle for Free). JPP must be doing a dance thinking of lining up against him. Their defense was bad last year, the stats can fool you when they held the ball forever with Zeke and their OL. Oh, and without much depth, most of their starters are suspended to start the season. And when Dak was forced to throw, he showed why he was a 4th rounder.

If the Giants can just stay healthy this pre-season, I would love to see them go into Dallas and hand them an ass kicking to pay them back for the 1995 35-0 beating the Giants got on a Monday Night and send their season into the crapper.
Either they have some stone cold evidence that isn't public  
GiantFilthy : 8/11/2017 12:28 pm : link
or they are afraid of Ray Rice 2.0, in which case this is bullshit even for a Cowboy.
Damn shame.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 8/11/2017 12:28 pm : link
I wanted to play them @ full strength week 1.
It was stated that...  
UticaMike : 8/11/2017 12:28 pm : link
the league did not take into consideration what he did to that girl at the parade. But one would have to think differently. The fact that he pulled her top off like that, regardless of circumstances, had to be a major red flag in regards to his lack of impulse control and potential for future incidents. That was a very troubling action. Personally, i thought he could be looking at 8 games or even more.
