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.

It's certainly bizarre for sure.

I think any level headed person speaking in an unbiased way about Goodell's decisions in recent years (on a wide variety of things) would say he has been awful. The league is literally coming apart and you even had a NFLLPA guy recently say they didn't care about the future of the NFL in general (ie, he didn't care if the league failed). Ratings collapse is almost solely on Goodell over the way he has handled the protests. He also orchestrated all these lousy NFL in London games, the awful slate of Thursday night games that don't draw dick, the MNF collapse etc etc.

He's a flop, the worst commissioner in history of organized sports.

And now you can clearly tag him as a corrupt piece of shit that is letting special interest groups and political pandering influence decisions that hurt individual teams.

Of course they deny it

I wonder if it was Jones or someone allied with Jones who leaked the story with the contract details.

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

Maybe he is planning on buying a hit on Goodell, and wants to be laying low out of US for alibi.

I give him two years before he pisses off a new girlfriend who in turns makes a false claim which will get him suspended from the game for good.

He’s too stupid to avoid this eventual outcome

I say ride his ass into the ground while we still can

40 carries a game, Fuck it!

I say sit him if we're out of contention by the time he returns. THEN ride that stupid rented mule into the ground next year. Using him when we're out if contention is about as useful as dry humping and much more risky. Last thing we need is a torn ACL or some shit.

I’m fine with that

Plus it will give us extra time to really find out who the back up should be

We will have to move one form either McMuffin or AM after this season so it will be a good way to find out which one is better to keep around

Good. I didn't want this bullshit hanging over the 2018 season.

I was hoping he would serve his suspension, get about 4 games through his suspension, then win his appeal just to prove to everyone how Goodell railroaded him and fucked him over

Just in time for his contract to be up and the Cowboys can draft another RB. Until then run his ass into the ground.

They should move on from both and draft another RB to be the primary backup unless Rod Smith shows something. Or they could go out and sign Peterson for fairly cheap.

I wonder what their record would be now had Zeke served the suspension in the first 6 games, the trajectory for this season would certainly be more optimistic looking but I'm not sure anything can overcome the loss of Lee, the defense is horrid without him

So apparently it’s officially time to write off this season and start looking forward to next season.

Next year is our year guys! I can feel it. LOL

It’s all part of the process.

He may have dropped the appeal and will serve the entire 6 games, but I wonder if this is really "over"

Maybe a civil case vs Goodell and potentially the rumored owners who insisted to Goodell he be suspended is coming down the road soon.
