NFL News: Ezekiel Elliott allegedly involved in a bar fight, per report
Ezekiel Elliott may have gotten himself in trouble again.
Per report, Dallas Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott may find his way back into the headlines in yet another example of the young man’s inability to control himself. Listing his snafus since entering the league would take more time than we at Inside The Iggles would like to dedicate to the subject. He’s already facing suspension from the NFL for some behavioral issues. Now, with training camp approaching, he’s gotten himself in trouble again
This time, he allegedly decided to go “Hulk Smash” on a bouncer. According to a report by Mike Fisher of 105.3 “The Fan” in Dallas, over the weekend, rather than stay home and stay out of trouble, Elliott decided to go out. He found his way to Clutch Bar, and it was there, at the 2500 block of Cedar Springs Road, that the alleged altercation happened. To this point, there haven’t been a ton of details that have been released, but honestly, do we need any?

Sometimes, things you think you want are the worst things for you. Philadelphia Eagles fans can attest to that. They’re the greatest fans in the world, but sometimes they get it wrong. They wanted Ricky Williams over Donovan McNabb. Remember that? Last year, some of the fan base held on to the hope that Philly might take Elliott in the draft. They, instead, traded up and took quarterback Carson Wentz.
Elliott was named a First-team All-pro. He was named NFL Rookie of the Year and the Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Pro Football Writers of America. Still, due to his antics, Eagles fans are probably now resigning themselves to the fact that they may have dodged a bullet. No arrests have been made in this most recent story to this point. Regardless of what comes of this most recent event, “Zeke” may be more trouble than he’s worth.

As for the Cowboys, it’s time to pick a side. Either you want to be “America’s Team” or you want to be the “Sons of Anarchy”. You can’t be both.
