Storm Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Wow, what a great way to stall a suspension so your player gets to play against a division rival. Not a fan of this precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 So I dont understand this whole situation. He hasnt been charged with anything that I know of, yet people keep saying there is "super duper real proof" he got handsy in da club, which is why he's suspended. Wonder if it's the same source that said they had a video of Dez punching someone out in that parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not about what a civil or criminal court will bring against him but what the NFL has brought against him. There is no jury and the judge is Roger Goodell. It is absolutely remarkable that Elliott can play against a division rival in week one then has to serve his suspension. So two things to learn from this would be: 1. Don't beat a white girl. 2. Make sure if you beat a white girl you do it when you face the fewest division rivals. Queue bronxeagle to call me a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Still, without actually assessing that part of the situation, a judge upheld the suspension. Why should he get to play game one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Because the team "head in the sand" practiced with him Monday and Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 This is bullshit. Either uphold it or overturn it, but upholding it after the first game of the season is obviously motivated by this being a prime time game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lughead Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I would rather beat the cowgirls with Elliot playing. cuts out on the cowboy fanboi hype in the second meeting. Imagine the story line come week 14 if that was the first time the Giants faces Elliot for the year..... the hype would be way overplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Not to mention Zeke has done absolutely fuck all agains the Gints. I don't know if some scout found something on the guy, a tell, or a flaw in his game because he didnt look anything like he did when he wasnt playing the Gints.

Lughead Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I also understand What Herc is saying and this is bull shit . Game one is a long way off yet he can still sit from week 1 . which leads to one thing .... Henderson is a Dallas homer, hoping his feet dragging will lead to Dallas winning with the help of Elliot and by week 17 it may be the reason Dallas gets into the post season because of the season record he helped to "mold". Were there any players that got in trouble and were instantly suspended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Beckham' suspension in 2015 happened on a Wednesday. Guess who didn't play the following Sunday? Herc is correct, clearly motivated by money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I was just going to bring up the Beckham thing. The appeal was ruled on on a Wednesday and the giants didn't have 3 weeks to prepare either like the cowboys have. This excuse is bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-Giantsfan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 we limited him in both games last year ........our D has nothing to fear "All backs run the same when there's no where to run." Ben McAdoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yeah, serving the suspension starting week 2 is bullshit...no question. That said, I think we have the ability to stop him. Further, my FF opponent this week was starting McFadden...will now have to go another route...or hopefully not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I am totally unconcerned about this, if any team matches up well with Elliot and the Cowboys OL, its the Giants D. This may really just play out in our favor.... let him play this week, and then make him sit out in subsequent weeks when he's more likely to be able to help his team.

BlueInCanada Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 So apparently a Texas court has ruled the NFL is fucking bunk and it looks like Zeke will play all season while his case is processed during that time. I don't know how much more the NFL can take of the humiliation every time it tries to do the "PR" thing. Fucking league is gonna implode before the next trade talks.

Herc Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Leagues used to just wait until any criminal convictions or pleas were made before taking action. It seems like a way smarter move because it takes all the pressure off you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
