  1. YES PLEASE! Its about time just hope he is in shape-i dont expect football shape but he can get there in 3 weeks

    Why hate? He took his punishment and then some. Im not for hitting women but theres always more to a story and he took his lumps and never devulged the other side.

     

    Unfortunate wording considering it was the woman who got punched in the face. The video shows the other side. There's never justification.

  2. So you think Mrs. Rice in addition to being hit should be punished financially. Makes no sense to me.

     

    Hahaha.

     

    Ray Rice's career being over is not a financial punishment. It's the reality of a league where the average career of a running back is just barely over 3 years.

     

    But your faux concern over the woman's well-being is admirable.

  3. What's so SAD about thIs situation is that not only Ray Rice, but his family is suffering from a "one time incident"! Rice is not allowed to provide for his family because people has a preconceived opinion that he is a "bad" guy and that he's not worthy to be a part of "my" team. The other sad part is that teams won't allow him the "opportunity" to try to make a roster spot because all they see is "dollars and cents".

     

    If you want to cry for Ray Rice be my guest, but being able to play a child's game for a living should be a privilege. Nobody "deserves" a second chance though some players may be more likely to find a team willing it to give it them than others. Ray Rice can provide for his family by getting another job just like everybody else.

  4. Agreed, but, giving him a tryout down 5 RBs can't hurt. I don't think he will be back to pro bowl form. I like the idea of the tryout, but, don't think he will make the team.

    If he's not going to be good enough to make the team why even bother with the tryout? As someone else said there are potentially better options that don't have his baggage -- like pretty much any RB who is unsigned and actually played RB in the last year.

  5. Have you ever tried to watch anything on Yahoo! Screen? If so, I hope you've had better luck than I have -- it tends to buffer and freeze a lot; it's hard to pair with any casting device. I love "Community," and feel this has been a great season, but am now episodes behind, b/c it's just near-impossible to try to watch. Hopefully they will grow by leaps and bounds by then, but it's definitely valid and not overly petty to protest a "free" thing if it's something that is time-sensitive, for which you are currently paying, and which now you may not be able to get.

    If you cannot watch the game, are you not going to be upset? The Bills Bars in NYC go crazy when the satellites go down. This seems the most basic of fan desires, the ability to actually watch the game.

    I haven't had an issue watching Community on Apple TV. It's basically the same quality as Netflix has been and I have the cheapest internet only package through Time Warner. Not saying this to discount your experience, but it could be something else causing the problems.

  6.  

    Ray Rice got a couple of games for KO'ing his wife...and a hell of a lot more for getting videotaped doing it. You can hit a woman...just don't embarrass the league.

     

    If this were just Brady deflating balls...no big deal. But he had a press conference and lied through his teeth about it. Don't know what he'll get for altering the balls...but don't embarrass the league.

    Important to remember though Ray Rice is not Tom Brady. Ray Rice was an aging RB and that issue was much more serious. It was at least possible that the NFL was going to lose sponsors over it (maybe). This will just be another storyline to promote the defending champs and the greatest QB of this generation.

    What kind of discipline is Brady facing? That’s impossible to say, given that there’s never been a rules violation like this in NFL history. The league might consider a fine to be severe enough, but a suspension can’t be ruled out.

    He'll be suspended for the entirety of preseason. It's harsh, of course, but the NFL takes these things very seriously.

  8. There are a whole lot of people who don't understand the fascination with Manuel by Whaley/Nix and gang, and see more NFL QB in Tuel than in EJ.

     

    Just thought you should know that "the fascination" goes beyond "Moron and gang."

     

     

    Those poor people.

  9. This is such a strech. No matter how much we hate them, NE is the most successful franchise in the last 15 years and I believe the most impressive in NFL history. Win or lose today, what they did in the cap era is absolutely mind boggling. Having said that, a 5th loss in the SB would make me feel much better ! If they win, it only adds to their resume. Brady best ever, BB best ever blah, blah, blah.

    Spygate happened in 2006. Those SB were legit despite what we would like to think.

    I'm not going to argue about whether their wins are astericked because I don't care, but one of the main points in the Spygate scandal was that they had videotaped the Rams' practice before the 2002 Super Bowl. If they did it for one game why wouldn't they do it for the other two?
