yes sir. It really is a disgrace. I love now after the Ravens have cut Rice, the NFL says he's suspended indefinitely. Is Goodell moonlighting as the Police Chief of Atlantic City? Just a comedy of errors how the entire thing was handled. Goodell should resign.

He dropped the ball like DeSean Jackson at the one yard line. This is Bud Selig level incompetence

Unbelievable really. There is zero chance the NFL didn't have access to this video.
This is really a big cover up going on, and the NFL and Goodell trying to do damage control.

A tie all-star game Bud? What should we do????

Yup. And like I predicted earlier Rice won't ever play a down in the NFL again. You can take it to the bank.

It's been widely reported that the league and AC police both saw all the video evidence, including the TMZ released elevator shot long before today.

Rice's release has nothing to do with the actual video from TMZ, but from the reaction from the public.

Kind of like 2 girls 1 cup

How did he not go jail time? Isn't that basically clear-cut assault?

Oh wait, right...he's a Raven.

There is no doubt in my mind the NFL saw this. I can't believe that Joe Blow from East Bumble(frank) if he was up at 6am this morning saw this before Goodell.

The callousness of Rice standing over her, and dragging her like a sack of potatoes suggests to me, that this is old hat for him. Can't imagine someone doing that and not freaking out over what they had just done.

That was as disturbing, if not more so, than the actual punch. Zero regard for her and her safety.

Should have cut him as soon as they saw the video, and the NFL should have suspended him at the same time. The team and NFL look bad in this.

Didn't the video just come out though?

Or are you implying they already saw it weeks ago when it happened?

If that's accurate ^^^^^^ I'm totally with you

Then who is your shut down center? Who plays against Crosby, Stamkos and other top lines? Who takes the defensive zone draws and assumes the immense workload Couturier carried the last few years?

The coach didn't trust Schenn or Lecavalier last season, and is it smart to move your superstar elite offensive guy to that role by moving your shut down center to his wing? I wouldn't even consider it for a second.

It's been widely reported that the NFL, Ravens and Atlantic City Police saw the full video months ago.

Even without the video, the guy dragged his unconscious wife out of a hotel elevator, pretty clear that he hit her...the Vulcan Death grip doesn't really work

I hate everything about the Ravens. The only thing I liked was Ray Rice. Now that's gone and my hate for them has only increased. The only bad thing is that Ray Lewis is retired so he can't have somebody destroy his knees.

I know we talk about Rinaldo and his penalties, but if I played in the NFL (assuming I were good/big enough), I would be suspended constantly.

But if he's playing shutdown, who's gonna cover his offensive production?

Well uh...there was like 5 witnesses too.

I haven't followed the story. So if it was that widely reported, that's pathetic.

Still, I guess the silver lining is that this bumhole doesn't have a job anymore
