Zeke Elliott case STILL under league review, Revis totally cleared

[MrB]

And don't forget that the team KNEW he was wheels off when they drafted him. But just like always with a talented player, Jerry couldn't resist and had to roll those dice.

I️ honestly think that even if they had drafted Ramsey they would be having issues with him as well. He’s got some knucklehead to him too. The only thing that prevents him from fucking up like Zeke is that he plays in a shit town.

I think he's been kicked out of two games now since he came in the league.

He's an excellent player and we'd be better in the secondary if we had him, but I still think Zeke is the more dominant player and more of a difference maker.

Oh come on TE, there was no hint of the guy being involved in DV or anything criminal.

Well there were rumors of his recreational drug use and partying. Nothing about DV though.

There were more than rumors. Bosa's parent basically confirmed it when they made him move out of the housing he shared with Zeke. Supposedly it was party central.

What do "their" mean?

A Friday feature on Elliott by Albert Breer of The MMQB divulged that San Diego Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa, Elliott’s ex-Ohio State teammate, moved out of an apartment they shared on campus due to their partying.

remind me: can he still practice with the team?

No, no contact.

Posted in another thread, he's actually leaving the country to focus on training (that's what it said)

 

[bbgun]

He can't train in the States? What a flake. Translation: I'm taking a mid-season vacation. I suggest Cabo.

 

[dbair1967]

karma would be that slob Goodell having to give Jones the Lombardi trophy and Zeke winning Super Bowl MVP

Yeah....it's shit like this that red flags Elliott. He's an idiot. This team may need him down the stretch so he's going to get ready by training in France? The guy's a gifted athlete but he's got a 10 cent brain and maybe I'm giving him too much credit; it might be less than that.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Um, is that for real? Training for football in France? Why?

I seriously doubt he'll do much training anyway. Maybe he figures he can party all he wants there without Goodell knowing?

Oh is that all? I don’t see why Jerry’s getting so upset.

 

[Scot]

I don’t know about you guys but I’ve never received a 65% raise for doing a great job before

Not to mention how badly he’s fucked things up lately with Zeke and the National Anthem situation

65% raise seems reasonable right?

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Why are the other owners okay with paying him that much? I can't even comprehend it. He's not even good at his job.

A little more than half of the owners are not ok with it. The others might be agreeing to this to spite Jerry. Well the Mara’s and Rooney’s are doing it to spite Jerry. The owners that are siding with them are just following who they believe is the big dog (Mara’s and Rooney’s).

I saw that earlier today.

And people wonder why Jerry wants him out.

By "others" do you mean that small committee of Goodell croanies like Mara and Blank?

I think this is why Jones said he wants the entire league ownership to chime in.

His demands (if the report is accurate, and its out on multiple news outlets now) are ridiculous.

Okay, but why are they okay with him? They're rich guys, they're not in the business of throwing away good money on people who aren't especially good at their jobs.

(Please don't say it's a conspiracy so Mara can rule the league or whatever.)

Also, again, these are all wildly successful men. I have a hard time believing they blindly follow other people without fully vetting everything.
