North Dallas Thugboys: Battle is over, and so is their season. Goodell has won.

Can formally put this in the Blotter now:

• Dallas Cowboys:  Ezekiel Elliot:  Drops all remaining appeals, suspended and will serve six games.  Has already served one.

They already lost the first game at Atlanta.

Three-game homestand:  Philly, the Chargers for Thanksgiving, and Washington.  One probable, one maybe, one no.

Then at the Giants and Oakland.  8-6 and pray?
