Its understandable if you missed the Dallas Cowboys story last week. Between the Cubs World Series title and the election, a lot has been happening. But that doesnt make this story any less notable.During the most recent NFL owners meetings, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones approached the leagues top investigator, Lisa Friel, and raised his voice at her while discussing Ezekiel Elliott, the rookie running back who is being investigated by the NFL for alleged domestic violence, according to several people who witnessed the encounter.Jones said he recognized that investigations were her bread and butter and ended the conversation with: Your bread and butter is going to get both of us thrown out on the street, according to ESPN The Magazine reporter Seth Wickersham, who witnessed the encounter, which was reported by Outside the Lines. Other witnesses downplayed Jones intensity.A public relations person immediately led Jones out of the hotel bar. An NFL spokesperson said there arent any rules against this kind of interaction.But that doesnt mean it isnt problematic.Its unsettling that Jones thinks he can lobby Friel on Elliotts behalf in an informal setting. On one hand, you cant blame him -- the league has been completely inconsistent in handing down penalties related to domestic violence accusation. The NFL has used mitigating factors to reduce suspensions, and it never has used aggravating factors to increase a punishment.The NFLs disciplinary process isnt a court of law, but players and fans should be able to have confidence that the case is at least getting a clear-eyed look. Jones actions undermined any appearance of an unbiased review.Jones should respect the process. But the NFL should make sure the process is one to respect.The owners meetings took place a week before new information emerged on former Giants kicker Josh Brown. Brown had been suspended for only one game after a domestic violence arrest last year. The punishment fell well short of the six-game minimum suspension called for in the NFLs 2014 Personal Conduct Policy.In a document released later, Brown admitted to domestic abuse against his wife. It was information the investigation didnt initially have, but it echoed statements his wife made to police when she called 911. Brown was released by the Giants on Oct. 25.Elliotts case is very different. Hes hasnt been arrested, nor has he had charges filed against him. According to a July 22 police report, Elliotts girlfriend claimed he assaulted her and said she had pain in her right wrist and a red mark. Four witnesses to the incident said they did not observe an assault, and police directed his girlfriend to the prosecutors office.USA Today reported Nov. 4 that the same woman called police in Florida in February with similar allegations.The NFL said in July that it would review the allegations against Elliott under its personal conduct policy.In any review, players should be able to expect a resolution in a reasonable amount of time. Friel will sort through the evidence she can gather. Her group will make a recommendation, and commissioner Roger Goodell will review it.But Jones actions seem to imply that Friels investigative work is detrimental to the league. Elliott is one of the brightest young stars in the NFL. If he were to receive a suspension, and the 6-1 Cowboys were to lose him for any length of time, it could affect the teams NFC East standings and their shot at the playoffs. That could take money out of Jones pocket.Friel is no shrinking violet. Jones type of persuasion isnt likely to have an effect on her investigation. She was at the meeting to give owners a presentation on her work -- work that apparently isnt fully appreciated by all 31 owners.Jones doesnt understand punishing a marquee player because he doesnt see the NFLs problem with domestic violence. He praised Greg Hardys leadership during a season when these photos of Hardys ex-girlfriend were published. If Hardy had played better, if he hadnt stormed into a special teams huddle and knocked a clipboard out of a coachs hands, its possible that hed still be in a Dallas uniform.Is that the NFLs bread and butter?Although there are still serious problems with the investigations, at least the NFL is making a serious and sustained effort to impose discipline so fans dont have to justify cheering for a player like Hardy.Jones should at the very least understand that and show some respect for the woman who represents that effort.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- With Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and two starting offensive linemen out injured, Dallas turned things over to a pair of talented rookies who have the Cowboys playing mistake-free football.Ezekiel Elliott ran for 138 yards and a touchdown and Dak Prescott threw for two scores to help the Dallas Cowboys overcome an early 14-point deficit to beat the San Francisco 49ers 24-17 on Sunday.This is a great team, Prescott said. I think the win just shows the character. We had more guys go down last week and guys had to step in. They got the job done. I guess the theme I guess you could say is if somebody goes down, just step up and do your job, and weve done a good job.The Cowboys (3-1) fell in a 14-point hole early in the second quarter before taking over the game behind a pair of rookies who have helped the team get off to a fast start this season with Romo sidelined by a back injury. Making things even harder this week were the absences of star receiver Bryant and offensive linemen Tryon Smith and Lael Collins.Prescott threw for 245 yards and had a 20-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams and a 4-yarder to Brice Butler to tie the game at the half.Elliott then took over with 96 yards rushing in the second half, including a 1-yard run that gave Dallas the lead for good late in the third quarter.We just all came together, thats what it was, Elliott said. We have a lot of faith in each other and there wasnt any point in that game where any of us worried on that sideline. We knew what we could do and we knew we were beating ourselves.Blaine Gabbert got off to a fast start to help San Francisco (1-3) take the early lead but struggled to generate any offense after that. Gabbert finished 16 for 23 for 196 yards with one touchdown and one interception.He had a chance to lead a late tying drive but he threw a 3-yard pass to Torrey Smith on fourth-and-6 from the Dallas 35 to end hopes at a comeback.We were moving the ball. We have to make a play there on third-and-6 and fourth-and-6, coach Chip Kelly said. It was 6 yards. We have to be able to covert.BIG MISTAKE: Gabbert doesnt throw the balll deep often but he had one shot at a big play in the fourth quarter when Torrey Smith got open down the middle of the field.dddddddddddd But Gabbert didnt lead him with the pass, allowing Morris Claiborne to intercept it .Every game in the league comes down to one or two plays that change the outcome and that definitely had an impact on it and thats on me, Gabbert said. I got to throw that ball to the middle of the field and let him go get it.BIG LOSS: The Niners lost star inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman to a lower left leg injury in the third quarter. He went down with a non-contact injury and had to be helped off the field. He was then taken to the locker room on a cart and was immediately ruled out for the rest of the game. Elliott ran for 23 yards on the play after Bowman left. He had six carries for 50 yards and the TD on the drive after Bowman left.Rookie DeForest Buckner then left later in the game and had a walking boot on his left foot.FILLING IN: With Bryant out with a hairline fracture of a bone in his right knee, the Cowboys needed someone else to step up on the outside. Butler, who came into the game with just one catch this season, had five catches for 41 yards, including a 4-yard TD that tied the game at 14.THIRD DOWNS: After failing to convert their first 10 third-down chances last week against Seattle, the Niners were quite efficient at the start this week. They converted seven straight third downs to open the game, including Gabberts 33-yard TD pass to Jeremy Kerley and Hydes 3-yard TD run . San Francisco then converted just one of its final seven third-down chances.ANTHEM PROTEST: Six teammates of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick joined him for a protest during the national anthem on Sunday. Safety Eric Reid and linebacker Eli Harold kneeled beside Kaepernick. Defensive backs Antoine Bethea, Keith Reaser, Jaquiski Tartt and Rashard Robinson all raised their fists.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
