National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell denies he lied to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about Ezekiel Elliott and the suspension of the running back.

There is a lot to take in here, so let's get through this together. That is, you know, if you're not already sick of the Roger Goodell versus Jerry Jones drama.

Goodell said Wednesday, with Jones standing a few feet away, that he never led Jones to believe Elliott would not face suspension. This came after Jones went public in stating that is what the league's commissioner led him to believe.

“No,” Goodell said before repeating his answer.

But wait, there's more! Well, at least from Jones.

By way of PFT:

“We all know that we’ve had problematic aspects to our discipline, our investigation,” Jones said. “We all know that those have been there. What is a misnomer is that I’ve known Zeke the better part of two years. I’ve known Roger Goodell for 30. I’ve known the rest of the people in that room for 30 years. I know them a lot better than I do [Elliott], and we all know I wasn’t there. And you weren’t there. Nobody was there. Roger wasn’t there when that happened with Zeke.

“What I am about there, and I’m not going to say I didn’t rob the bank, but ironically that is very convenient to put up when the thing that I probably had the biggest issue was how we got to the point to where that kind of decision could be made. It’s how we got there and the circumstances were there that I want to talk about and we’re going to get to do that in that period of time when we’re talking about the commissioner’s responsibility and the constitution.”

Maybe Cowboys fans are still interested in this pettiness, but I am 100 percent over it.
