Do you know what they had on him? Not what is being reported.

True, but said multi-billion dollar company doesn't casually make libelous statements.

The DA's statements make it pretty clear that Zeke was violent with this woman, right?

Unless you think he's lying just for the sake of lying, then that's all that really needs to be said to validate the suspension.

It's been almost 10 years and saints fans (rightfully so) are still upset about Bounty gate. What kind of glass is your house made of?

Not at all. The DA basically said he believed Zeke assaulted her but couldn't prove it. And he didn't lay out a single reason why he believed this.

Bountygate is one of only a handful of sports related incidents that I will never get over or stop bitching about.

It's right there with Landon Donovan being cut and the circumstances surrounding the Mulligan Bowl.

I would hope not, but that's for the court to decide (if Elliot pursues).

So you think he's lying for the sake of lying.

I don't think that, because he'd be opening himself up to a world of shite for no reason at all if he was lying about Zeke beating women.

The NFL's letter is SUPER misleading. It claims there is a ton of photo evidence of injuries to the accuser but ignores the texts that show those were all taken at once and sent over a period of weeks to set up a timeline. And given that there are texts asking friends to lie and say they saw Elliot give the bruises to he, it's not a leap to think he didn't give them to her at all.

I am a Cowboys fan and I have no issues with this. He definitely has talent but he has made some pretty poor decisions in the past. As a manager, you can't just sit back and do nothing and hope nothing happens. You have to take action. Hopefully this will be a learning opportunity for the young man.

I'll reserve judgement until facts come out, but that's a very shortsighted statement.

Never said that. I'm simply not going to believe someone that says I think X happened, but I can't prove it.

I'm not saying the DA is wrong or anything, but I'm not going to really form an opinion as to whether or not he did anything until the evidence is released. Someone saying they believe X happened is not evidence.

To suggest Elliot is a poor decision maker, at the least, is pretty fair.

Pretty sure he screwed himself. Don't be a piece of shite and things like this don't happen.

You need more facts of his poor judgement? Nothing shortsighted about it at all.

For all we know, they went digging and found other incidents. Just because you don't punch someone on Tuesday the 5th of March doesn't mean you didn't punch another person on Wednesday the 6th of March ya know?

He should have been instantly suspended a minimum of two games for pulling that woman's top down alone. He has repeatedly been a total idiot and has shown zero signs that he understands how to behave as a professional. He needs a wake up call.

I love the Cows and don't like things that hurt them but Zeke made his bed. Tough shite. Too bad so sad.

Good, the idiot deserved it. He's a bad image for the NFL. He thinks all his partying antics are okay, which theyre not
