Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Prediction: the Cowboys will do just fine without him. He's a running back. He's a game-changing running back. Interesting timing here @adamschefter NFL is suspending former Giants kicker Josh Brown six more games for domestic violence, sources tell ESPN. Josh Brown was originally suspended 1G following an arrest on domestic violence. His ex-wife accused him of physical abuse more than 20x. That was the biggest black eye of hypocrisy that the NFL gives a sh** about DV. Josh Brown admitted in writing that he abused his wife "physically, emotionally, and mentally". He was arrested. He was charged. The NFL(!) moved his wife to a different hotel room at the Probowl after an incident where a drunken Josh Brown was beating on her door. And he got 1 freakin' game. The NFL is only just now "oh, well, maybe we should give him 6 more to be consistent". Bunch of hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 He's a game-changing running back. "Game-changing" is a tired and silly cliché. Elliot is a very good running back, but the dropoff from him to McFadden (or whomever the Cowboys plug in) will not be particularly noticeable. I doubt Zeke's absence would move the betting line more than half a point, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Interesting timing here @adamschefter NFL is suspending former Giants kicker Josh Brown six more games for domestic violence, sources tell ESPN. Josh Brown was originally suspended 1G following an arrest on domestic violence. His ex-wife accused him of physical abuse more than 20x. Quite interesting. Needed to be done earlier, but if they are trying to use this to set the new standard for DV that's... a start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Good grief. When is the next lockout scheduled? I would have more sympathy for the players if the NFLPA had not expressly agreed to this "forced" system of discipline. Their union sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
