Ezekiel Elliott hops in Salvation Army kettle after touchdown

[P.O.E.]

Ezekiel Elliott was penalized 15 yards on Sunday night for using the Salvation Army pot on the field as a prop following a touchdown scored against the Buccaneers.

Elliott scored on a short touchdown run to put Dallas up 9-3 over Tampa Bay. After scoring he ran to the red Salvation Army kettle by the end zone and hopped in like Super Mario going into one of the shoes in the original NES game.

It's for a good cause. I highly recommend donating to them.

They should not have penalized him for that — I thought it was funny and got a charity that has helped millions over the years some free advertising.

Penalty didn’t matter — the return was shy of the 20.

I love the Zeke and Dak show! They good for the ‘boys and good for football.

[P.O.E.]

Agreed.

You can’t buy that kind of exposure.

Awesome! They are about the only charity I give to.

I really hate that the Cowboys lucked into getting Prescott - they're going to be set at QB for the next dozen years.

Salvation Army and Samaritan’s Purse are the only two national charities I donate to. The American Red Cross is a farce.

Remember, the NFL despises anything pro-American or Christian. If he had jumped into the Planned Parenthood Aborted-baby dumpster he’d gotten a bonus from Roger Goodell.

My suggestion would be for Elliott to donate his earnings for the game to the Salvation Army. He’d support a good cause, put a positive spin on his celebration, and raise his marketability so much it would be worth far more than the donation.

Good for him and the Cowboys donating 15 yards to a GREAT charity!

AND Elliott. Actually, Jones doesn’t deserve such luck.

But Jones has to part with the best terrible QB in the NFL — does your team need Romo?

The 49ers? Jones thinks too highly of Romo to trade him to Jed York's dumpster fire, and if Romo is cut there's probably no amount of money that could convince him to come here. The 49ers don't need a 37 year old QB anyway.

The QB who should be nervous is Jimmy Garoppolo - the 49ers will likely have the second pick in each round of the draft and can give Belichik some very nice compensation.

Zeke (Elliot) and Dak are good but the Cowboy’s
offensive line make them great.

Best touchdown celebration since.....

He should tell the NFL he’ll send the fine money to the Salvation ARMY instead of them.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yes, we are in danger of the Cowboys returning to the status of "America's team."
