NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[ognikehead85]

Ray Rice crazy for that KO on his girl and now I'm like Josh Gordon got a 1 year suspension and Ray got 2 games? smh.. But best believe those fans on the road are going to be ruthless on Sunday's when he gets back on the field. I wonder how ownership and his teammates  honestly feel after they watch the video.

 

[parada45]

Man we looked so bad yesterday

I don't even want to go to the game on Sunday

 

[lamekilla]

Goodell just buried himself. Ray just ruined his NFL career.

Josh Gordon at a car lot rolling up

[Hahahaha]

Video was rough to watch. No idea how the NFL watched that and thought two games was fitting. First hit was bad enough but the second hit. Two ******* games.

 

[krazy88s]

Been a fan of the Steelers for the past 20 years or so. Can't recall one game where they were up big and kept it that way. They do nothing easy. NUTHIN smh

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

After seeing this video, I'm surprised her father, brothers, uncles, etc. didn't put hands on Ray or had his wig pushed back.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Ray shoulda just held her hands or bear hugged her
I don't advocate for men hitting women
BUT women also shouldn't feel so comfortable hitting men and then surprised when they laying on the ground
She hit him before the elevator
And on the elevator
He wrong for hitting her back he coulda restrained her
Without doing her any harm
She seemed drunk of course but still
I also get sometimes when getting hit ur instinct is to hit back
Hate to see him in this mess
But was EASILY preventable

From the looks of it, seems like she hit him before the elevator because he initially spit on her. I could be wrong tho.

Dude, I think he spat on her. Then in the elevator, it looks like he hit her with the brim of his hat. He definitely appears to be the instigator in this situation. I don't think it's the first time he's laid hands on her either. She wasn't shocked when she got hit. Bad all the way around

 

[stillin729]

at some of you trying to qualify yourself because you are really defending Rice

I wonder where are all the idiots saying he was defending himself 2 weeks ago.

Wonder what NT's boy Stephen A has to say

The words u quoted
I just meant in general not this instance
I think people shouldn't put their hands on anyone PERIOD
MAN OR WOMAN

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Yall know I've always said unless you saw what happened in that elevator you couldn't judge Ray Rice.

Now I feel stupid for previously defending dude.

Dude should be in jail. That **** was disgusting.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

So Roger 100% saw this video prior to handing down suspension, correct?

Did the cops see it too?  Did his fiance just not want to press charges so they let it go?

 

[S4L]

Goodell probably won't recover from this. Public opinion will be strong if Rice is playing Week 3.


Edit-NFL just said they never saw the video.

 

[Hahahaha]

The NFL is trying to say they didn't see the video now. I'm pretty sure Chris Mortensen said that they had the video a few weeks ago. NFL is claiming the police wouldn't share the video with the NFL.

 

[dontbelikethat]

According to Jason La Canfora's twitter, ravens officials haven't seen the video prior to the leak, but Rice gave them an accurate and "in detail" description of what happened that goes along with what's seen in the video.

 

[licensed to ball]

No way they didn't see that video.

Dat PR DAMAGE CONTROL

 

[Smorgasbordgie]

I try to avoid watching stuff like this, but I wanted to see for myself. Absolutely disgusting . There's no defense for this type of behavior.

 

[skurrtskurrt29]

I have a hard time believing Fidel Goodell didn't see that video. He who rules with an iron fist? Nah my dude.

And if he really didn't, that's just as bad as watching that **** and giving him the penalty he did. We go by the players' words now? Really?

 

[fraij da 5 11]

 

 

[buc em]

No way they didn't see that video.

Dat PR DAMAGE CONTROL

Yup.

Watch...to make up for it the league is going to do something nuts. They're going to end up banning him from the NFL to get the fans support back.

It's already a disgrace that Greg Hardy is making 13 mill this year and isn't missing a game.

 

[dmxfury]

NFL should tread lightly if they start lying about seeing the video. That's the stuff that can legit get people fired and removed; much moreso than a poor ruling. If this is the beginning of the end for Roger...well can't say I'm unhappy
