I remember him ranting for over a week how it was imminent that Dez was going to get a long suspension for beating up someone at Walmart. He claimed there was a security video. He claimed there was cell phone video. He claimed there were multiple witnesses. Days went by... nothing. Weeks went by... nothing. Months went by... nothing. Years went by... nothing.

"Elliott in vicinity of club fight and appeals speeding ticket from two months ago" doesn't have quite the same ring to it as "Elliott beats up man at club and gets pulled over driving 100 mph."

And yet they were ranting about how Jason Garrett needs to bench Zeke, make an example of him, etc. as if he had already been found guilty. I'm not saying he did or didn't do it. I wasn't there. But when the victim is saying he doesn't know what happened and there is no proof of what did happen maybe, just maybe, wait for the facts to come out. Or, you know, just go all Nancy Grace on it. 2016 DV allegation 2016 boob scandal 2017 speeding ticket 2017 bar fight allegation Like I said, even if all 4 of these are unfounded, doesn't it at least beg the question about his decision making or the company he keeps? This isn't anything new for NFL players and I'm NOT saying Elliott is the next Vick/Pacman/etc., but I dunno. Sometimes people are just shit magnets. The boob scandal has been a while ago, how could the NFL possibly be still "investigating" that? If they were going to discipline on that hand it down already. I can't recall a player getting suspended for a speeding ticket, that seems lame and as HK points out why are the fake news trying to make it sound like it just happened? The club incident happened after Schefter got everybody buzzing about suspension talk, but I've seen nothing solid on even an accusation.

The case was dismissed about half a decade ago. Dez has had his shit together for years (knock on wood). Hopefully Zeke can follow suit. And hey, if nothing else at least they have a young QB that's mature beyond his years and, by all accounts, a great leader. Not one that has had 7 years to get his act together and still acts like a petulant child and gets benched for missing curfew before a game because he was at a titty bar. |

At no point was Elliott arrested, charged, or even a suspect but a little thing like that certainly didn't stop the professionals over at ESPN from talking as if he had already been found guilty in a court of law.

Meanwhile Jaguars DE Dante Fowler was arrested last night after he reportedly got out of car, started yelling at a man, hit him, stomped on his prescription glasses, picked up the man's grocery bag, and then threw it into a lake.

Strange, nothing about it on ESPN's homepage. Hmm... Jaguars DC Todd Wash said 2015 No. 3 overall pick Dante Fowler "has matured a lot."
"He is more focused on the little details," Wash said. "You just see a young man mature, which is really good to see because he is a good football player." Fowler was whistled for eight penalties last season including three offsides in just 570 snaps. He will need to be more disciplined moving forward to reach his potential, but it sounds like he is on the right track. |

What's interesting is they threw a lot of money at and hired Adrian Wojnaroski (probably spelled wrong but I'm too lazy to look up). He is the go to number one guy for NBA news and he used to publicly state how he'd never work for espn bc of their shitty reporting practices and shitty on air talent.

This whole situation is interesting. Is Elliott a victim of people piling on and making mountains out of molehills or do we take all these incidents (completely unfounded or not) and say that this guy either puts himself in bad situations or around the wrong people. 2016 DV allegation 2016 boob scandal 2017 speeding ticket 2017 bar fight allegation Like I said, even if all 4 of these are unfounded, doesn't it at least beg the question about his decision making or the company he keeps?

View Quote aside from the DV (which appears to be a blackmail attempt), there aren't too many current or former 21 year old men who don't have a ticket, a fight, and drunk public nookie on his resume. granted, he needs to be smarter, but we all did at that age. the only difference is that the media weren't making money running down stories on you and me. |

I understand the sports media has a hard on for talking about the Cowboys and for trying to make issues and debates appear much more significant than they are, but seriously, Tony Romo in the Hall of Fame? I don't even know any Cowboys fans that think he should get in and yet the sports media is acting like this is a legitimate debate going on.

Doesn't seem like there are many fellow Broncos fans around here. I still can't make heads or tails of WTF they're doing at QB. Neither guy is starter quality.
Elway is a smart smart man and he got Peyton Fucking Manning for god's sake. Any chance he's waiting for the right time to go after Cousins? Cousins is still only 28 but wait much longer and you risk him injured or the Redskins clean house and get a competent front end and they sign him to a big money, long term deal. |

If Cousins (assuming he doesn't suck in 2017) hits the open market there is no realistic chance the Broncos could match the Browns or 49ers. Probably the only way they'd get Cousins as an UFA is if he was willing to take a significantly lower offer to play for a team that wasn't horrible and even then the Broncos would likely have to release some players to pay for it. View Quote But you're right, if Cousins is playing it smart and waiting for a good K, he's not likely feel the need to take a big cut in order to chase a ring.
