Source says police have yet-to-be-released video of Ray Rice knocking fiancée unconscious before dragging her. Expect a suspension.

I'd take a punch from Ray Rice for 8 figures too. You go girl!

Ray Rice gets married, might have gotten poor legal advice prior to ceremony.

On Friday, there was a conscious coupling for Ray Rice and the woman he allegedly knocked unconscious http://wp.me/p14QSB-9rTR

Just because every other tweet I see says the Ray Rice marriage was so she cant testify - a Jersey def atty told us that's not a thing in NJ

[red]

in an exclusive interview with packerrats after the ceremony, the wife was asked what it was about ray that made her fall in love. she replied, "what can i say, he just knocked me off my feet"

Ha.

Not bad, Red.

I'm from the Italian part of town. As the saying goes, "a man fights with his hands, a woman fights with her mouth. When a woman fights like a man, she gets hit like a man." Not sayin, just sayin.

Reviving this thread because the whole Rice thing needs its own area.

Things may get interesting for the NFL. Someone is calling them liars when they say they didn't have the Rice footage until TMZ released it.

He's lugging her around, not punching her out.

The tricky lawyers will weasel RR out of this one.

I was right.

For awhile.

The NFL is now checking to see if the AP story about receiving the video is correct. Priceless.

from the other thread:

The latest is that law enforcement sent the NFL the evidence in April including all the video. They better not have. Can you imagine, you get arrested for battery and you're employer calls the police and says "could you shoot me a copy of the evidence you have against our guy" and they fucking do it?

In partial answer to Rastak's questions earlier about whether the Casino could turn over the tape to the NFL: http://deadspin.com/goodell-was-wron...ium=socialflow

We did not ask the Atlantic City casino directly for the video. Again, our understanding of New Jersey law is that the casino is prohibited from turning over material to a third party during a law enforcement proceeding, and that doing so would have subjected individuals to prosecution for interference with a criminal investigation.


Today, TMZ inquired about just that.

Paul Loriquet, the Director of Communications for the New Jersey Attorney General, tells TMZ bluntly, "No, it's not illegal."

To be clear ... our question was very specific: "Is it illegal for the casino to show or provide this material to a private entity in an ongoing investigation." His answer, "No, it's not illegal."

Via Deadspin a quote from the AP story:

A law enforcement official says he sent a video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive three months ago, while league officers have insisted they didn't see the violent images until this week.

The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: "You're right. It's terrible."

That is pretty dead to rights. However, there is even more terrible news on the horizon. If the NFL HAD the tape, then either someone caught wind that they weren't supposed to have it (and buried it, never mentioned again) OR the NFL took steps to make sure it never got out.

Lester Munson claims the NFL Security guys have been cleaning up this stuff for years, leading me to wonder of one of them is called "The Wolf".

CORRECTION: Source says he sent video of Rice punching fiancee to NFL 5 months ago (CORRECTS number of months): http://apne.ws/1umzDE2

Maybe Goodell destroyed the tape? It wouldn't be the first time he did that.

If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the fucking car.

NFL has announced that Robert Mueller, former FBI Director, will be conducting an investigation. I think this probably means Goodell really hadn't seen the video. He wouldn't be hiring an FBI Director if he had. Still, Goodell isn't going to come out of this looking very good. I think he will survive though.
