NFL week 1 (Ray Rice/Goodell fiasco)

[Banedon]

Gotta think they'll try to void the contract, right?

So why does actually seeing the hit all the sudden change things? Did we not already know he knocked her out coldly and dragged her out of an elevator? To me he should have been cut back in the spring when this all came out and he admitted to knocking her out.

@Ravens: Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident.

It's an opportunity to do what should have been done initially, say "oh, we didn't have all the info", when they really did.

 

The NFL and the Ravens both know they screwed up the first time...they're trying to save face.

It's just making them look worse and worse. How did the NFL not have the video?

Yeah, that's from months ago.

Don't know, but now the NFL is stuck between a rock and a hard place. They only handed down a 2 game suspension and the team booted him. Kind of difficult for the NFL to now re-issue a new punishment when he's not even in the league anymore. No one will be picking him up.

I'm assuming but now they're publicly denying it. At least their spokesman did.

Goodell should just step down.

[USSoccer]

Maybe all the lapdog "reporters" that got worked by the NFL can show that they aren't just PR mouthpieces and actually hold the league accountable.

I know. It's worth repeating at this time to show how scummy the organization is.

What I don't get is why the hell did they need to see a video? Everyone knew he beat her up and dragged her unconscious body out of an elevator. The NFL saw the video and was like, "Oh we didn't know he hit her THAT hard". WTF does it matter? No to mention it's complete [expletive] that they didn't see it before now.

The story they tried to go with was she attacked him and while he eventually hit her it was basically self defense. That's why they had her apologize and attend his news conference.

[Smack]

Maybe they thought he hit her really hard with a feather pillow?

But wasn't it fact that she was out cold? How do they think she got that way?

From his fist as he tried to fight back her attack.

Wow:

 

@billbarnwell: Lovie punting on fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter down 17-0 is something.

I was snarking about blaming Lovie, but I really do think he's a terrible head coach.

[Careless]

It's almost unimaginable that Roger Goodell and the NFL league office had the Ray Rice elevator footage and still gave him only a 2 game suspension.

Why? It's exactly what I imagined it would be. I can't fathom how it changes anything.

Exactly. Still excessive no matter the story.
