"I’m going to be point blank, I feel like it’s cheating. Because you have an edge up on your opponent and its unfortunate that it happened. I’m not saying the outcome of the game would have been different or anything like that because they got beat 45-7, but they still had an edge."
Based on that logic, we should asterisk Rice's Super Bowl wins as well. That 38-16 victory over the Dolphins and the 55-10 destruction of the Broncos, as well as the 49-26 blowout of the Chargers don't matter because they had an edge up on their opponent and it's unfortunate that it happened.
And what about the 20-16 victory over the Bengals? Rice was MVP, catching 11 passes for 215 yards and 1 TD in a narrow victory, including 3 on the final drive while the 49ers trailed. How many of those catches were aided by an illegal substance? If it helped with even one catch, the Bengals might have won.
The 49ers also had the whole salary cap skirting issue which Rice has conveniently overlooked.
I don't mind people asking questions, or wanting to know more. I don't even mind them being critical. But don't be a hypocrite. If you spent your entire career cheating, why the heck would you think you could be critical of anyone else's perceived cheating? What next? Is Ray Rice going to give me marital advice? Is Warren Sapp going to preach about integrity?
