ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter recently went on the Cowlishaw and Dennis show on 103.3-FM ESPN Dallas. Here are some highlights.

If he thinks the NFL might still penalize or suspend Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott as a result of its investigation into a domestic violence allegation made against him last year:

"None of us really know. And really the question that was posed to me (in a SiriusXM radio appearance) was, where would I take Zeke in a fantasy draft right now? And again if we're doing that draft right now, today, this week, or next week, or before there was any resolution to this particular case, I don't know how you could draft him and not have this question answered in your mind. I think every fantasy football player wants it answered.

"And I hate to equate such a serious issue with fantasy football, but that is how it came up and a lot of people are curious about it these days. Obviously it's got huge implications and ramifications to the Dallas Cowboys. But again, we're in a case that has been ongoing for about one year now. The league has continually sought more information and questions to answers it has had. There have been multiple meetings. There have been requests for more information and records and documents. Even though we're a year into this, the league has not seen enough to say, 'Okay, we're going to discipline Zeke Elliott.' Just as it has not had enough for absolving Zeke Elliott. So we're in this holding pattern of uncertainty and have been for quite some time. And as I pointed out on that show, I've had various people at various points I can remember speaking to NFL people during the offseason in March and April and walking away thinking there's going to be some kind of discipline for Zeke Elliott. And then I can recall having a conversation with somebody about 10 days ago where I walked away thinking nothing's going to happen here. But again, I've had enough conversations with enough people to change my mind a few different times. I don't know where it's going to end up, I really don't."

If the delay on this case has anything to do with the NFL's public relations nightmare after suspending Ray Rice for two games before a video emerged of him punching his then-girlfriend:

"There's no doubt in my mind that that has to be a part of the league's thinking. Because there are some questions that the league has about this particular case and this particular player and this particular player's behavior. And so I think the league is being incredibly thorough and incredibly detailed because to your point, for instance, the league said today or yesterday, 'We have not found sufficient evidence to suspend Ezekiel Elliott. He will not be disciplined under the personal conduct policy.' And then a month later, two months later a video surfaced on ESPN or TMZ or wherever it may be, there would be people who lose jobs. So the league has to be incredibly careful and incredibly thorough. And I think that's part of the reason that it's gone on for over a year. You're talking about one of the most high-profile players in the league for the most high-profile franchise in the league in a situation that on its surface seems rather disturbing despite the fact that other people have said he didn't do anything wrong."

If the Cowboys seem 'lawless' to him after linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon:

"I don't know if I would use that word. But there have been a greater number of arrests there and certainly within a certain time frame than there have been with any other team. Has there been another team this offseason that has had that much off-the-field news that was that close together? No. Has there been any team that has had that many players suspended? I don't believe there is. And so there are systems in place for that and the Dallas Cowboys will be fined for that as an organization. They will pay a certain financial price for it. And when I look at it today to me, the Dallas Cowboys of 2017 have become what the Oakland Raiders used to be back in the '70s. They're like the bad boys, so to speak. And the Raiders by the way haven't had an arrest since 2014."
