    There's a lot wrong in the Ray Rice saga.

    http://www.tmz.com/2014/09/08/ray-ri...g-punch-video/

    One hotel worker says the NFL saw the video and the NFL says it didn't. Does that mean that the Ravens didn't see it as well?

    Did the NFL really need to see the video to understand what happened? Dragging a limp body out of the elevator wasn't enough?

    Also, the incident happened seven months ago. Did TMZ pay someone to leak it?

    Further, if the victim didn't press legal charges and even marries her attacker one month later, then can the NFL truly justify the anticipated lifetime ban on Ray Rice? Com'on, let's face it, Ray Lewis was intimately involved in a murder and Michael Vick tortured and killed dogs in grisly ways. Both were welcome to play again. Yes, I know hypocrisy reigns in the NFL where revenue is the bottom line, but still, instant outrage after seven months is tough to take.

    Victims of domestic abuse sometimes stay in abusive relationships, so the fact that they got married later might not be very significant. Is anyone talking about a lifetime ban? The policy recently announced by the NFL calls for 6 games for a first time offense.

    There's a story kicking around about this. The other video's of course existed. Someone (NFL, Ravens, both?) had the hotel mgt threaten the shit out of the security staff that if the incriminating videos got out, they would lose their jobs. Well, the casino that this happened at went out of business. None of 'em had any jobs to worry about and sold 'em or whatever to TMZ for money and/or spite. The casino went belly up the 1st part of Sept so the video's were on ice until then.

    So the NFL and the Ravens look like a whole load of assholes and Rice get's the boot and lifetime suspension.

    Dunno if it's true or not, but it explains a lot of shit.

    Wrong Thread for Ray Rice
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
