Ravens release Ray Rice

Hopefully his career is over. His play was already trending down and he's nearing 30. Now with all this drama who would want him?

per Greg Aiello, Goodell has now imposed an indefinite ban based on "new evidence".

The "new evidence" being the outrage expressed by the public after viewing what the NFL had already seen.

Goodell: "Ohhhhh. Man, I guess I didn't think it was all that wrong. I mean, the abuse victim said it was her fault. Who knew? My bad."

Him and the Ravens organization.

Based on how non-Raven players are reacting I'm guessing that there's more than a few players on the Ravens who have been outright embarrassed at how the team defended Ray Rice long before this latest video was released.

I can not believe Espn just went to a Fantasy Football guru to talk about the impact of Rice's release.

Lol of course.

Hey does everyone remember how arrogant harbaugh appeared when addressing this situation? He got a lotta 'xplaining to do too.

Thinking there is a good chance both harbaugh bros could be in the college game next season

Remember this gem tweet? It was still up for most of the day until sometime this afternoon. Guess their PR finally decided....hey, maybe this was a dumbass idea.

I'm sorry I ended up as a punching bag. Boy, if that isn't a battered woman I don't know what is. She better start figuring out divorce papers before the money dries up.

Question I posed to SS today is do you really think this incident was the first time he's hit her? His demeanor in all of it seems like it's natural to him. (during and after)

I'd bet the house it's not the first time he hit her, or someone else. Hitting someone so brutally like that typically isn't a one time deal.

And her, too. She seems practiced in the excuses of the codependent beaten.

This is something I was wondering too. From all accounts it seemed like Ray Rice was a positive role model before this incident, does anybody know if this is uncharacteristic of him or is this one of those "nobody knows the guy behind the scenes" deals? Either way, with a hit like that, he deserves all the scorn thrown his way.

This may have already been posted if so oops. WTF did the league think happened, what did they think a guy knocking out his wif/gf was gonna look like. fn weirdos abound.
