^^ Link to the letter the NFL sent Elliot re his suspension. Its 6 pages long and I havent read it yet but I did read cowboys fans response to the letter.

Bills stacking a couple of nice picks and getting rid of the drama which is Sammy Watkins...a diva bust.

I like this for the Bills because it gets the rebuild process going early. If your in the Pats division the plan is to get the team ready for Brady departure in the next several years. You aint beating the Pats in the division this year or next year. They are the most stacked that they've every been.

per Schefter:

Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones is said to be furious with NFL decision, per one source. Furious.


welp stop drafting and helping out men who sexual assault and physical abuse women.

I am guessing Elliot will appeal (he has 3 days to file it), and it will be knocked down to 2-4 games.

I hope not. You can't have the same punishment for inflating a football and abusing a women. That's laughable to me.

In the perfect world you're right but we all know the NFL always plays to their own agenda. They've lacked consistency in punishments for years. How is Josh Brown gonna get 1 game but Zeke 6? It's because Zeke is a bigger name for the league. Even though what Brown did was arguably just as bad.

Also I hate to play devils advocate but I keep seeing differing reports, one says the girl made the shit up and that's why charges were dropped and the other says the league has found 3 separate incidents that Zeke tried to cover up. So I have no idea what to believe, but I assume the truth will come out in time. Doesn't matter much to me anyways, IIRC we play the Cowboys in Zeke's game back, so we don't gain much from this.

Good point...me neither. But if the reports are true and there is physical evidence...bro, it's disturbing.

But the other side that is equally disturbing is Jerry jones and his constant denial and defense of complete pieces of shit. It really sux...that this organization has developed this attitude. I guess the fan of the cowboys just don't care. You rarely hear criticism

Right ^

The way they handle ray rice was the absolute low point for the league...2 games for knocking out a woman. The shield got crushed across the country...can't look soft facing domestic violence issues

It was, although I'm still upset the that public didn't give the Ravens any crap for the way they handled the Rice issue.

I hope the public goes after Jerry and the Cowpukes for continuing to sign pieces of crap like Hardy and Elliott.

Idk that they need a conference call, I'm pretty sure they all came to the conclusion that signing Kaep might hurt their bottom line, which is profits. If you ask every owner they will all say the goal is hoisting the Lombardi, but let's be real here. The majority of teams know there isn't a shot in hell of going deep in the playoffs, so the goal is to have a good season where they make plenty of money. Kaep might affect that, if fans protest and boycott the team because of his actions. Sucks for Kaep but that's the price he has to pay for fighting for people's rights.

No , they know better.Kaepernick isn't all that good.The man tried to get some adverse attention thinking it would help him ,it didn't.If I own a team let someone else have the headache.....he isn't Tom Brady or Peyton Manning,he is not worth the bad press or heat from existing fan base.

Isn't all that good? Yes, I agree. Good enough to be a backup qb, better than some of the other garbage backups that have been signed/resigned? Yes.
