Problem is, when you talk about all the "horrible" things she did, you take away from the fact Ray Rice cold cocked his fiancee. I've been spit on by a chick, I've been kicked in the head, punched in the face by a chick.... my immediate reaction was not to cold cock them. In fact tbh it wasn't all that bad because I outweighed them by like 100 pounds.

The sentence should go like this, Ray Rice is an asshole and deserves to rot in prison.

Not Ray Rice is an asshole and deserves to rot in prison BUT his girlfriend is a stupid head for hitting him. Come on man, get it through your head.

Yeah. She probably burned dinner the night before, too. Just sayin'.

He settled with the woman out of court for money.

Cards John Abraham out indefinitely and might even be considering retirement after getting a serious concussion during the Chargers game.

Doug Martin didn't practice today either, probably will sit out this week. I hope so since that scumbag Triple A has him and I'm going against him in D&D battles

<font color=goldenrod>Less than 24 hours after Goodell went on national TV and explained that they asked law enforcement officials for the tape and never received it...the law enforcement official who was asked for the tape confirmed that it was sent to Goodell and the Ravens 3 months ago.

Goodell is done.</font>

NFL "investigating" the executive/s that received and watched the video. Looks like they are going to try to pin it on their employees instead of Goodell. Classy.

According to ESPN'S Outside The Line report, Ray Rice spat on his wife at least once leading up to the incident in the elevator. Might explain why she was in a piss off mood and hit him prior to getting knocked out cold.

<font color=goldenrod>Yep. I think Goodell will wind up gone anyway though. I said it when the video first got out on Monday - anybody who had any part in the decision-making process has to go.

If this happened in nearly any other company in America, everybody on top would have been fired months ago.</font>

I should send my resume to the NFL, just in case

I wonder if the next NFL commissioner will actually care about the concussion epidemic we're watching these current players live through.

good guy Sean Payton

Always good to hear a positive story like that... sucks about Stills' daughter though, that is heartbreaking

I dont agree with what Ray Rice did but also dont see what the big deal is here. Rays wife has forgive him for what he did and she is the victim, so why cant any one else. If a construction worker was to have done this would they be calling for his bosses job for letting him work. Goddel shouldnt be fired or resign for somthing one of his players did. 2 games for a misdameanor is good enough I think.

shut up

More from ESPN's Outside the Lines report stated that Rice told Goodell everything that happened in the elevator and wasn't "ambiguous" or Rice hiding/lying about certain things.

Even if the NFL's claims of never seeing the full video were true, Rice told them the entire story.

NFL fined Antonio Brown $8,200 for the Brogue Kick he gave to Cleveland's punter during last week's game.

This just pisses me off even more. I could see the reaction to the video on Monday if he had lied in any way about what happened, but if he owned up 100% to what happened in the meeting with them then there shouldn't have been anything "shocking" about what was on the video. I'm in the group who thinks his suspension is the result of the NFL trying to save face from the whole fiasco when they didnt levy a harsher penalty to begin with.

Ray Rice could sue the NFL

he'd have to have proof the NFL saw the video from inside the elevator before they levied the original 2 game suspension, since its against the collective bargaining agreement with the players association to penalize a player twice for the same issue.

I just want this game to start, and its still over an hour away..ugh

If I wanted to read your tweets, I would follow you on Twitter. Why couldn't you just post that normally?

and we 're even on the BS penalties

What the fuck are people talking about "receiving the tape" and it being "mailed" to somebody. It was a fucking iphone video

I'm pretty sure it was security camera footage that would have been recorded. I bet the term tape means disc though.

The Steelers probably should be concerned their offense has scored 9 points in the last 5 qtrs.

Steelers are shit.

Steelers are very bad.

It can't be that the Ravens are good? Defense has allowed 7 FGS/1TD in 2 games. This Ravens team has enough offense to win games if the defense can keep that up.

and the Hay is in the barn!

Hey the Ravens won :)

They are a decent/good football team but the Steelers seems AWFUL.

Ravens defense is solid. Better than I thought they would be this uear. Steelers D is pretty shaky.

Getting Owen Daniels was a good pickup. Have always loved that guy.
