Dalvin Cook sued in civil suit; NFL/ESPN try desperately to spin it

A former girlfriend is suing Dalvin Cook for assault. She didn’t file criminal charges. Cook’s attorney claims she’s the one who assaulted Cook and that this suit is “extortion.” This is very similar to the Antonio Brown suit, but in that case, the league immediately embarked on taking him down and treated it as a very serious, very legitimate accusation. Here, they’re trying to bury it and avoiding comment.

With Cook, they’ve worked with their sisters at ESPN to get in front of this one to clarify it is “an extortion attempt” because (a) it seeks monetary reward, and (b) the accused denies it. Here is the Tweet from NFL Shill Extraordinaire, Adam Schefter, running out in front of the story, wording this to mislead.



Here‘s what was leaked, apparently in response to Schefter’s tweet.


I’m in no way saying Cook is guilty. But I’m definitely saying the league and their little hatchet man are spinning this, and that reporting it as “extortion” first to set the tone, using an attorney’s words, is way out of line from journalism norm, and starkly different from how they’ve handled other allegations such as AB.

He's a Viking! Don't they include a fall guy in the contract?

Say goodnight Dalvin.

His texts seem to admit a degree of blame on his part....

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the texts were already posted in this thread. I have deleted my image of them.

Damn, all that just because she asked him to help to get some stuff together?! Dude needs anger management counseling badly if this is true.

Hope justice is served.

Guilty, 14K dollar fine, suspended one game. Minnesota's fault!

Typical behavior of a POS abuser.

Lucky for him Minneapolis defunded the police so there is no one to arrest him.

Fixed it for you. The actual league mirrors society. There’s an extra darkness in the League office that is unapologetic and unafraid to operate in the daylight.

Nope, wrong again.

don't forget to post the video where she threatens to get her gun after breaking into his house and maceing him.

Both of these people(cook and the ex) appear to deserve each other.

Trimble alleges she had stored mace in Cook's garage, brought it with her into the house and attempted to spray it at Cook but ended up accidentally spraying it in her own eyes

Whatever the truth is, when a jury sees this, Cook will be cooked.


Cook better hope i am not on the jury, know people who talk like this to those they are beating up. come back to me. This will end badly for Cook, the way they manipulated the media yesterday to try and get ahead of the story. They made the woman appear crazy.

If both parties are guilty then let them marry. Domestic violence is a two way street and it’s a pandemic on its own for sure
