By far the weirdest dude on the site. Not even his own people stick up for him any more, lol. He's just that weird.

He has own people?

For some star athletes their whole identity and reason for being is wrapped around the fact that they are a pro ballplayer and all the great stuff that comes with it. I wonder if and when he gets it that he's done in the league will he do something batshit crazy like killing himself and maybe his wife also to lash out at everybody for his perceived persecution

I'd imagine his NFL career is probably over. Between this video and probably only having a shelf life of 3 more years as a running back with lots of mileage. I doubt any time will take a chance.

If same exact situation happened with Andrew Luck he would 100% be back in the league within two years. Probably wouldn't get cut in the first place.
WTF Does Luck have to do with any of this?

Rice signed a 5-year, $35 million deal in 2012, $15 million of which was a signing bonus. He got another $7 million bonus in 2013, and also collected $3 million in salary over the first two years of the contract.

But almost none of that $25 million can be clawed back by the Ravens or the NFL, according to Mike Ginnitti, managing editor of Spotrac, a Web site which tracks professional sports contracts.

Rice probably will lose the $9.5 million in salary that he would have received for this year through the end of 2016.

^ Apparently he will still count against the cap in 2015

So let me get this straight.......Rice was suspended 2 games and John Harbaugh was proud of him for stepping up and taking responsibility. They knew that he knocked her out cold......the girl was unconscious. Now because the video confirms what everyone already knew, now he's suspended indefinitely and released? I think the latter decision was the right one, but what the fuck? How does this video change anything?

1) the Comish did all he could do

2) the Comish sets new guidelines

3) the video makes the Ravens look bad for defending him and so they cut him

4) since he is no longer in the league he falls under the new guidelines to get back in

Can you explain to me how the Comish did all he can do?

maybe I missed it but did we really know what actually happened before todays video? Were they drunk and fighting and he pushed her and she fell and hit her head or something to that effect? Surely no one thought he actually smashed her in the face with a closed fist. Did they? I sure as heck didn't. Its easy to judge someone based on hearsay or a partial video of him pulling her out of the elevator.

Today, it sure seems like he lied to everyone thinking there was no video of what happened inside the elevator.
Just a thought.

My question is - shouldn't this just be a 6 game suspension according to the new league rules? It is his 1st offense

He not in the league now but since they banned him the new question is what about the college kids like a Winston for example:think2:

Just like anyone else subject to rehire

No DUI in the last 5 years
No more than 3 moving violations in 4 years. Blah blah blah

Unless Ray Rice lied to them about the event, I don't see how Roger Goodell can do this just because a video of the event was released. Ray Rice should be punished but it shouldn't be a life sentence just because the NFL screwed up.

Ray Rice screwed up. Ray Rice did this to himself and deserves everything he's getting.
