Current Cowboy & former Buckeye.   Per Schefter & others.

Nice to see that beating the hell out of women now gets you more games than some concocted story about deflating footballs.

Doesn't matter in the eyes of the NFL.

I get that. I just took umbrage with the accusation that he "beat the hell out of a woman." Ray Rice and Josh Brown most certainly did. Zeke seems to have gotten shafted by the league on the basis of a flimsy allegation and no one seems to have any logical explanation why.

The suspension won't stick as is, though.

If the NFL is going to take an extreme hard line on anything, reasonable or not, then I'm glad it's with domestic violence. Its about time they confront one of their major problems head on rather than avoiding it.

Its also much easier for them to take a hard line on domestic violence rather than the major CTE problem, although the two issues are likely related

Played at the craps table next to him in New Orleans last year.  I've never seen a human being so jacked+cut.  Glad he's putting it to good use.  But hey, those Patriots are real monsters, aren't they?

The picture of bruising around the neck is pretty significant. Someone strangled that woman.
