Excellent article. I question why the NFL would allow an avowed Giants fan, whose family has had season tickets for 60 years, who has a shrine to Eli Manning and Phil Simms in her Giants colors painted sports cave, rule on any case involving the Giants or their rivals-especially in a matter as important as domestic…

Its not that she is crazy. Its that there are literally no witnesses to the events who corroborate what she says, many even contradict it, medical experts cant determine if the bruises matches the time frame she gives for when Elliot hit her, she made attempts to extort, blackmail and bring in false witnesses, and…

So let me see if I’ve got this right: he PROBABLY did something to her, but the NFL’s investigator couldn’t find hard evidence and Thompson’s story was contradictory (to say nothing of the evidence that she probably was trying to cash in on being with Elliot), so they recommend that he not be suspended due to lack of…

That and they are fucking terrible at it.

This is some really thorough reporting to drop at 8am.
Deadspin Up All Night indeed.

Ok. I’m done. There is enough plausible deniability to come to the conclusion Ezekiel Elliot is an awful person who never used physical violence on her. I am all for supporting allegations of abuse, but in this one case I am done.

I think Drew mentioned this on the podcast, but why is the NFL even in the judicial business? Let the teams decide whether to hire or fire their employees, and let the teams take the heat for employing someone if he has (or has not) done something unacceptable.

It’s astonishing that premiere players have to go through this rigamarole while Matt Stafford can make gazillions by simply taking a shit on the field for 16 weeks.

No, this means the market wasn’t any better for Kyrie than what they already had on the table. It’s chess not checkers chief.

That’s a really misleading understanding of how MMA striking currently looks. The game that’s being played at the upper levels of the sport has seen enormous improvements in the last three or four years in pace, variety, and fundamental soundness. If you think what’s there now can be summed up with “a bunch of shitty…

Humans who were approaching it and throwing shit at it...threatening a bear is a bad idea regardless of what other meat you put in front of it.

Those are people are lucky they aren’t dead. There are three of them on that porch at least...if that bear charges, how many of them do you think are getting in through the door before the bear covers that 6 foot distance?

00-05 Bobcat, here (you might even know me), but I’m pretty neutral on this... since most of us just smuggled flasks of gin in our cargo shorts (FUCK YEAH) and bought orange juice from concessions so we could get shitty while Knorr ran the program straight off the Richland bridge into the Hocking.

Seems rather aggressive...A*G*G*R*E*S*S*I*V*E!!!

As long as they didn’t also kill his dog.

+1. I just started the first one ten minutes before I clicked on this article. Get em John!

Beat me to it. Well done.

They’d better hope his son isn’t John.

And the first one, Jones was injured in the first quarter and some guy named Roethlisberger came in relief to win the game against the Browns in 2015 season.
