Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott remains under investigation by the league, but owner Jerry Jones says the NFL is looking at his pattern of behavior rather than the allegations of abuse from last year. 
“The domestic violence is not an issue,” Jones told NBC (via Charean Williams of PFT). “Zeke has had some other things that have been looked at and are being looked at. But from the domestic violence issue, there’s not an issue. I think that my hope is that Zeke is with us opening night, and I don’t want to get into anything that might in any way influence negatively that decision from the league office.”
All along, Jones has maintained that the allegations against Elliott are without merit. The owner’s latest comments indicate that the league may be in agreement, though his other missteps could still keep him from the field. Those off-the-field incidents include pulling a woman’s shirt down during a St. Patrick’s Day parade in March and potentially having some involvement in a barroom brawl days before the start of training camp.
Although Jones is firmly in Elliott’s corner, he also hopes that he learns from his mistakes and avoids dicey situations going forward.
It’s BS that the Cowgirls are Americas team,
They presently have 6 guys in trouble with the
Law. The Pats or teams like the Broncos are more likely fit that the description..
Also add in the fact that they’ve only been good like 3 out of the last 20 seasons and no Super Bowls since I was 5
All part of Jerry Jones showing Jimmy Johnson, who’s the better GM, talent evaluator, architect w/blueprint for putting a dynasty together…..ain’t won nothing. Should be a warden…..good at finding criminals though…..
You ain’t kidding!!
Yeah… it’s not like the pats ad a murder on their team in the last decade
Not to mention the pats rich history of cheating
They are America’s team because they’re the most popular. It has nothing to do with the law. The Patriots cheat. I guess you forgot to mention that part.
Using a sexist term like cowgirls undermines your moral credibility.
Sorry to break it to you but the Pats are americas team. Bla bla bla deflate gate this deflate gate that. What’s the excuse from Patriot haters for the 10 point comeback in the 4th quarter against ‘one of the best defenses of all time’ in the Hawks or last years impropable come back against the Falcons. Say what you want about the cheating but they’ve proven year after year they are the best team in football bar none. It’s gonna suck for all the Patriot haters this year seeing as the reigning super bowl champs have come back this year significantly better than they were last year. Keep hating, they’ll keep winning.
You be wrong Flubby
Tom Brady sucks!
Let’s just brush “cheating”, on multiple accounts, under the rug. I get it.
Might want to brush up on your NFL history. Tex Schramm coined the phrase in the 1960s. That guy was a marketing genius. He came up with the suite concepts everyone uses in their stadiums. Schramm is the one that had the Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving. He is the reason they wear the white jerseys. I don’t see anyone historically speaking in the Patriots organization that ever did anything remotely close. There are myriads of other examples. Jerry Jones expanded on this blue print. Love them or hate them, the Dallas Cowboys are the most marketed and valuable professional sports franchise in America. Those are my words. According to Forbes the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world.
They’re Americas team because the tv ratings
Zero game suspension for Zeke and we all go home happy!
P.S. Screw the pats, DC4L
I am a Cowboys fan, but I’m tired of all the various idiots causing problems, using banned substances and committing crimes! Elliott is an elite level back, no doubt about it, but enough is enough already.
Regarding their popularity, the Cowboys have more fans than any other football team throughout the world. It’s certainly not their play, as evidenced by the two decades of mediocrity after winning three championships in four years.
