For whatever reason the link in the tweet didn't copy so here are the photos from the tweet.

I believe he'll be eligible to play week 8. Which is game 7 for the Cowboys.

What the hell happened? Why 7 weeks?

And what does that have to do with the CBA giving Goodell the right to dispense punishment?
Go back and read up on the Brady case.
You might be right but I'm sure Jerry is going to find out for himself.
I never followed the underlying story very closely at all, and wasn't aware of those text messages. It should be interesting.
The problem to me is what happens if he fights it? Say he appeals and they reduce the suspension to 2 to 4 games. He misses some early season games.
On other hand, say he fights it. The league has very broad powers to discipline players. Perhaps the St. Patrick's Day incident could support a suspension..... Some federal courts move much quicker than the deflate gate courts.....then is Zeke suspended and out for meaningful playoff games?

Here's hoping the court system moves in its normal, deliberative speed. Slow as hell.
I hope this doesn't happen, losses the case on the merits in October or November and suspension carries into playoffs.
