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

I followed it a bit because I live down here (basically the whole southern Jersey shore is Atlantic City).

But yeah, the incident happened, the NFL suspended him for two games, he apologized and they ignored it.

Then TMZ showed the video and the outrage came out again and the NFL & Ravens recognized the PR storm and did the right thing. Not out of moral obligation, but to try and cut the bite of the PR sting.

Giroux on teammate needs fashion help: "voracek. He just doesn't get it." simmonds: "looks like he combs his hair with a pork chop."

This show was when I first realized i hated hippies. I was probably 5.

4) Who will be the third piece of Sean Couturier's line with Matt Read? Ideally, the club could use a big-framed, physical forechecking presence on this line who also plays a good two-way game. There are no internal candidates who possess all of these physical and skill traits.

This guy comes closest in my opinion.

I don't actually love the ravens, but I hear what you're saying

I never really liked them all that much. A lot of it had to do with Ray Murdered Lewis, and then when I became a Steelers fan, it just grew. They basically took over for the Cowboys as the team of felons after the 90s. Plus the man love for Joe Flacco drives me insane.

I can't tell if they're hippies or hillbillies.

That's Ben Stillers wife. She's way hot. She was in Dodgeball, and played Marcia in the Brady Bunch movies... I'll stop now, before I weird anyone out.

Just to add a different idea. So what would you give up for Kuemper?

So, does anyone think Johnny Gaudreau will be able to survive a full NHL season? We rip of Gostisbehere for being small, but he's got 2 inches and 20 pounds on him. Briere's the same size but had 30 pounds on him. I'm not one to count out small guys, but I can't see him winning many board battles or keeping his balance when NHL defenders breathe on him.

And NHL14 was pretty bad.

I believe the term is "hip necks" or "hip-billies"

Crap, you're right, that is her from Dodgeball.

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
- Jsaquella

The video was making the rounds on the internet months ago. I'm wondering what all the talk was about the video surfacing. I myself saw it months ago.

He'll need to add some muscle, but he's definitely got the skill to be a good NHLer.

I don't know if this new video is any different, but the video I saw was enough to know what happened. And enough to know that Rice should be arrested, and jailed, and banned from the NFL.

- Jsaquella

Oh, skill no doubt. Just seems like he'll have a tough time handling the strength up there.

This video shows them getting into the elevator, them scuffling, him knocking her out with a left hook, and then him just waiting patiently and calmly in the elevator. It had not been released to the public until TMZ broke it.

Yes, the video of him dragging her knocked out body around was enough to know the deal, this just shows what actually went down.

- jmatchett383

It's possible, because he is so small and light. I do feel he'll need to add strength, and probably a bit of a nasty streak to his game
