NFL: Ezekiel Elliott suspended 6 games

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The guy may not have been convicted of anything. But just like Roethlisberger many years ago who put himself in bad decision making situations he was going to get popped. The code of conduct policy is there for a reason.
I mean Elliot was at that Party Island place(or whatever its called) less then a week ago. He admitted he likes to party and get drunk ect ect.
At some point he is just going to have to look in the mirror and grow up. Roethlisberger did with his off the field antics. Hopefully Elliot can for the sake of his career. Or worse.

What did he do wrong? He was on a boat with people. Are you not allowed to boat???

TMZ cited "lake sources" as saying that Elliott did not "drink any alcohol or get into any kind of negative situation."


Does he need to become a priest and swear off fun?

You white knight the worst ****ing people

 

[John Price]

White knight, or maybe he gets his facts straight?

 

[What the Faulk]

The point is that Elliott was a ******* this off-season. Challenging one event doesn't change that.

ok so he didn't drink. my bad.
I still don't think its a good look when facing suspension and under investigation for other things. If its me I am staying home and playing it cool until the decision is rendered at least.

He's like 22, 23?

I'm sure all of us stayed in on weekends at that age and didn't drink. Please.

There's obviously a line there that Elliott seems to have crossed with the abuse, but yeah - he's a young 20 year old that's going to drink and party.

I don't see anyone persecuting Gronk for his party cruises or throwing down the gauntlet on players clearly wasted in photos posted on the net.

If you think Elliott is guilty then yeah he deserves whatever he gets. But living the typical life of a person in their 20s is expected, isn't it?

 

[What the Faulk]

Ah yes the glory days of college where I would routinely pull down shirts of talented girls on my way to English class. How could I forget.

Boiling his actions down to "drinking" is disingenuous.

Because Gronk is the fun loving white guy plus he has a bunch of fanboys that defend him in the media.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Also before last labor dispute it was pretty clear many players didn't have financial means to carry out successful lockout

Many players were pulling out high interest loans and telling NFLPA they couldn't afford to miss the game checks

NFL players are honestly probably the worst at handling $$$ of the 4 major sports

They also make the least.

Yeah he didn't drink but probably did a bunch of coke. At least he wasn't drinking though. You honestly believe he did nothing?

He literally sat on a boat with friends.

 

[Bonzai12]

I love that TMZ has made it to HFBoards Football Forums as a news source.

It pretty much goes downhill from here.

 

[What the Faulk]

TMZ is gossipy, but aren't they pretty reputable?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He literally sat on a boat with friends.

And I'm sure he didn't touch any drugs or alcohol. What a schoolboy!

Congrats to all those who got him in the 2nd or 3rd round of their drafts

 

[tacogeoff]

So why is this a big deal? He was out on a boat on his day off.... non issue and really a reach to make a story if anything

That's TMZ all day baby

The media will tell us how he wore his socks inside out today if it means clicks and $$

He's a $#*! for the way he wears his socks!

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Congrats to all those who got him in the 2nd or 3rd round of their drafts

Got him in 3 of my 4 leagues, 3rd round twice and the 4th round on Wednesday. Liking it

 

[le_sean]

How does a Texan court have any jurisdiction over what the NFL does? This doesn't make sense to me.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Yeah he didn't drink but probably did a bunch of coke.

What the ****???????

 

[Halladay]

So they cant suspend him for 6 road games?

The court is in Texas. It's a Federal Court.

Has Gronk ever put himself in a situation where he is facing a 6 game suspension?

Sure Elliott has every right to go out and party but maybe when you are facing a 6 game suspension and already shown that you cant handle partying you should think about y our actions and cut back a little bit.

Pretty sad that the NFL finally starts to get tough on these d-bags that beat women and then a court comes along and says its cool go ahead and beat your women just make sure that they aren't perftect witness when you choose your victim.
