Well, the good news is he didn't have trace amounts of THC in his bloodstream or else he would have gotten in real trouble.

Awesome post.............

Man that's terrible. The NFL should suspend him for the year if they want to be consistent with severity of punishment.

What is even more disgraceful is that the legal authorities saw this footage and chose not to prosecute him to the fullest, which opened the door for commissioner Greedell to let Ray Ray off the hook.

So what do you guys think are the chances that anything changes with respect to Ray's 2 game suspension (honestly he should be facing jail time)? I'm guessing this has zero impact unless there is massive outrage. But I'm still seeing apologist comments out there so I'm doubting anything comes of this.

This from the ownership team that built a statue for a murderer. **** the Ravens. And **** you, Roger.

It would be nice if someone made a life size (x2)statue depicting the knockout blow and set it up outside their stadium.

Absolutely brutal. Volin just retweeted this from the Ravens on May 23:



I'm sure she does.

If only she could take a punch better none of this would have happened.

Funny now all the reporters are saying the league never saw this video until today, different story on an hour ago.

The Ommisioner doesn't like being shown up does he?

There is no end to their lying. It is disgusting.

All aboard the Goodell hate train? Heck, I think I might drive.

I honestly can't even imagine what cop looks at that and doesn't put the cuffs on him! Look its the easiest case to prove. Usually its hard to prove domestic violence because its either a he said, she said, or the woman refuses to press charges and assist in the prosecution. BUT in this case, it is clear that Rice decks her with a left hook! For those that can't see the video..

They are clearly arguing when they get into the elevator, she lightly slaps him, he moves away, she comes at him and he drops her like a stone with a quick left hook. The worst part is that HE SHOWS NO REMORSE WHATSOEVER!! He kicks her unconscious body around, puts up her shoes and purse and then drags her limp body out of the elevator. Some stranger comes by and shows 1,000 times more concern for her that Rice does!

I have a feeling that with 2 Monday night game tonight and all the talking heads at ESPN and NFLN going, it is going to impossible for it not to bloom tonight into a huge story!!

The NFL should suspend him indefinitely, and the Ravens should release him. Again, he showed no remorse whatsoever, he knocked a woman unconscious and just kicked her legs around so the doors would close!! The video is truly disturbing!

Roger Goodell is a a pompous ___. He acts like he is holier than thou. He'll pretend he didn't see the video. And he'll probably hand out a greater punishment now that the public has seen the act.

It's a win-win scenario, IMO. If the public makes this enough of an issue that won't go away, the Ommish won't be able to ignore it. Either he will have to publicly eat crow, or else we'll get the pleasure of seeing Goodell come down harder on Ray Rice to cover his own sorry ass.

******* scumbag. Pure scum

He's going to act on it because the top trending things on Twitter right now:
1: Ray Rice
2: Roger Goodell
4: Ravens

Only Sepp Blatter is stopping this story taking the 3 top spots, Goodell isn't going to be happy with this mass wave of further negative press. The Ravens aren't either, but they're a scumbag franchise anyway.

That's my take on it, too. It was the ****storm of public reaction to Goodell's original bogus 2 game suspension that caused him to enact the new domestic violence policy. As long as the NFL looks bad - especially if it threatens to turn off potential fans and lower ratings - he'll do something to save face.

Jeez... I have no words. What a piece of crap.

Good Lord, Ray Rice should be in jail or else there's never been a good reason to send someone to the slammer short of murder. The cops should be ashamed of treating Rice as a star, which they obviously did.

As for the NFL? 2 games? If I were the commish and saw this video I might consider banning Rice for life. The heck with the bylaws, Goodell could have set the standard himself by handing Rice a 2 year ban and forced the NFLPA into the hideous position of having to defend Rice's abhorrent behavior. Goodell should be a candidate for removal from his post considering how badly he judged, and how weakly he responded, to the situation. What Goodell provided was far from leadership, and that is exactly what his role is created for.

Piece of ****

The timing of the release of this video by TMZ or another party who sold to TMZ, couldn't have been better. Rice is designated to return this Friday, but that is now really in doubt.

And now, predictably:

The league office has the choice of looking like boobs or co-conspirators. It appears they prefer to look like boobs. Lovely.

Remember, these are the clowns who removed a video and edited an article because that idiot Blandino described a rule incorrectly which lead to the Patriots losing against the Jets last year.

They higher ups at the league are very, very shady people so it's no surprise they've taken the look like bumbling idiots option.

You know, I live right around the corner from Roger, maybe i should post a sign on Black Point road that say s"HEY ROGER, SAW THE RICE VIDEO----GREAT JOB"
