LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott was handcuffed by police , but not arrested, after a scuffle involving event staff at a Las Vegas music festival, officials said Monday. Saturday near a gate to the overnight Electric Daisy Carnival at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway after police officers saw him “push a security officer to the ground,” Officer Laura Meltzer said in a statement.“The security guard who was the victim of the misdemeanor battery refused to press charges,” the statement said, and the officers released Elliott. He was not charged with a crime.Cellphone video posted by celebrity website TMZ appeared to show Elliott speaking with a woman and then with several security and event staff members, including one who falls backward over a metal parking area barricade before police arrive. Elliott is handcuffed and led away.Elliott’s agent Frank Salzano said Monday that Elliott was released shortly after the video ends; that event security misconstrued the situation and overreacted; and that Elliott left Las Vegas for Dallas to be at his youth football camp on Sunday. The agent identified the woman in the video as Elliott’s girlfriend.Salzano declined to respond to the police statement.“The video speaks for itself,” he said.The NFL declined to comment on the situation.Elliott has twice led the NFL in rushing since being drafted in 2016. He has 4,048 yards rushing and 28 TDs on the ground over his three-year career.He was suspended by the NFL in 2017 for six games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy after an investigation of allegations he had several physical confrontations in the summer of 2016 with his girlfriend at the time.Elliott denied the allegations, saying he was not an abuser, and fought the suspension for several weeks in several courts before finally serving the suspension. Every team has them. It's an unavoidable and unfortunate part of their team's history. What are they? Bad trades , of course. Actually, not even just bad trades, but bad transactions. A coach they should not have hired. A hot free agent who was not a scheme fit, or just flat out was a product of a previous system, or worse, just had a one time, career year. These have to happen folks, whether we like them or not (and honestly, no fan likes them). Without them, what else would we talk about on the plethora of sports talk radio programs? But, for every horrible , terrible, no good trade your franchise has endured, there is a flip side to things. What is that? Happy you asked!For every ridiculously bad trade your favorite team has made, odds are that they have hopefully made a few really good trades, too. And what makes a good trade a good trade? Well, perhaps they dumped some high priced veteran off and snagged a great prospect. Maybe they had an under performing player, so they swapped him for some other team's headache and the change of scenery was just what that player needed. Or, maybe your shrewd and crafty general manager made the right call and acquired that vital missing cog in your sports machine-that one remaining player, the missing piece of the puzzle that lets you party as your team has a victory parade. Every team... or at least, most teams, should have their share of these kinds of trades. Some seem to have more than others , both the bad and the good. Sometimes it's just about being the big market club, and everyone thinks you are bullying the little guys (looking at you, Yankees!).So, what team should we look at now? How about those Philadelphia Eagles? One of my favorite teams, as I grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Eagles are no different -they've made some awesome moves, and they've made some tremendously boneheaded moves. Let's take a look at them, shall we?
