Zeke Elliott suspended for 6 games.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott officially filed his notice of appeal to the six-game suspension he received last week for violating the league's personal conduct policy, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The NFL Players Association confirmed the appeal filing a short time later.

The filing comes four days after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Elliott after a year-long domestic violence investigation by the league determined there is "substantial" evidence that he assaulted a woman identifying herself as his former girlfriend.


A date for Elliott's appeal hearing must be scheduled within 10 days of the notice of appeal.

Goodell ... will appoint his designee Harold Henderson as Ezekiel Elliott's appeal hearing officer, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Henderson heard former NFL defensive end Greg Hardy's domestic violence appeal in 2015, when his suspension was dropped from 10 to four games.

Elliott's appeal hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 29, Rapoport and Pelissero reported.

No worries, he'll have so much free time on his hands, he'll probably get himself in trouble again long before that :twisted:

If much of this is true, he shouldn't not only be banned forever from playing in the NFL, but in jail.

Sorta reminds me of a mini-Seattle Times/Jerramy Stevens novel of an article from so many moons ago. Stevens by the way (I think) only served a one time one game league suspension for all of his heinousness.

Vegas would take that bet off the board. He has that Aldon Smith mentality when it comes to trouble. It's not a matter of if but when. The guy likes his booze and drugs and has been told his shit don't stink all of his life, not a good
Combo of things.

I know you are trying to semi-troll here but I actually agree. Stevens would have been in jail many times if he wasn't a star player @ UW and the Hawks. The guy was/is a dirtbag, through and through, and I'm saying that as a huge UW/Hawks fan.

Sorry if it came off as semi-troll. Zero troll intent. The article at the time was unreal, regardless of the ethics or lack thereof of the Times (which I do not read on the regular). Thanks for agreeing.
