The timing of the ruling is so tight Harold Henderson decided to let Ezekiel Elliott play against the Giants Sunday night.

Yeah...


OOOR

The NFL didn't want to jeopardize their Sunday Night Football opener (ratings and quality of game) so they orchestrated it in a way that they would 'let' Zeke play the opener and then he could start his suspension.
Just a theory. Cuz this thing smells fishy as hell.

That makes no sense. Elliott would be a big key for the Cowboys to beat Denver in Week 2 because the Bronco had a terrible run defense in 2016. Because it is a divisional game, no TV ratings would drop just because Dallas is missing its best player. People want to watch Dak Prescott vs. the NYPD.

Even a conspiracy theorist can see clearly TV ratings do not affect the NFL's decision to keep players on the field. Remember when Odell Beckham was suspended for a Sunday Night game and without him, the Giants could do nothing against Minnesota's great pass defense? I turned that game off when it turned into a blowout.

That wasn't the Sunday night opener of the season.

Of course it's fixed. Teams have been game planning with or without Zeke including the Cowboys. You gonna tell me it's gonna make a difference now? Please.

It had playoff implications.

Division rivalry games are big no matter who is on the field.

It makes no difference when a divisional game is played - they are all important.

Nobody gives a flip about watching Giants and Vikings, with or without Odell.

Cowboys and Giants is a marquee matchup.
Cowboys are America's team..... so they say.
Zeke is a polarizing player now. The drama is too good to resist.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

More details on the case:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...on-on-hold


Quote:"This is a very strong indication that this court would rule in favor of Elliott on the merits," Feldman said on NFL Network's Up To The Minute Live. "It could be that the suspension is reinstated somewhere down the line, but it looks like for now that Elliott will play most if not all of this season."

Look at this... NFL gets to look like they go hard on DV all the while Zeke is playing....

Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain!
