  1. The CFL is honoring the suspension too. http://m.cfl.ca/article/mark-cohon-issues-a-statement-regarding-ray-rice There's always the arena league. Does that still exist?
  2. Nobody is preventing him from working. He can work anywhere that will hire him OTHER than the NFL. The world is his oyster. In fact, someone with his qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.
  3. Whether he slapped her or punched her is ridiculous and doesn't matter. Did he hit her? Yes. On purpose? Yup. Is that ok? No. Did he hit her hard enough that she fell and hit her head on a metal railing and was knocked unconscious? You betcha. Is alcohol ever an excuse for violence? Nope! In either video do we immediately see him on his phone to call an ambulance or showing really any concern whatsoever for her well-being? Nah. Are these the actions of a piece of ****? Absolutely. Does he have a right to continue to play in the NFL? Not at all.
  4. I remember Rod Woodson trying to jump over John Kidd when he was with the Chargers and kicking him in the face. I actually found a picture of the aftermath! http://rickdoyle.photoshelter.com/image/I0000b4Z12zawMW0
  5. It's not even a mandatory 6 game suspension. From Goodell's letter: Which really means "Six games is the starting point, but if we decide she really had it coming we can lower it." It was a wishy-washy statement that meant nothing to get people to stop complaining about the suspension by making it seem like they were doing something. Based on this, the NFL could hand out another 2 games for the next first offense and still be following their Personal Conduct Policy.
  6. I would be cool with him never wearing an NFL uniform again. Most employers would fire you on the spot if they had video evidence of you doing something that was illegal and/or made the company look bad. No second chances. He plays a child's game for ridiculous money. He can go away now. And if Goodell saw the video before he handed down the suspension then he can go away too.
  7. Maybe they've already commissioned a statue of Rice to put next to the one of alleged accessory to murder Ray Lewis. Do you know how hard it is to get your deposit back on those?
  8. If NFL teams are worried that people would rather stay home than go to the stadium then they should improve the stadium experience and the overall NFL product.
  9. Twain uses the n word a lot. Let's change the name to that.
  10. God I hate when sports people and celebrities talk about political stuff. Stick to sports! Except when they agree with what I think and then they are brilliant and everybody should recognize their genius.
  11. Jim Kelly has endorsed pretty much every QB the Bills have had since he left. I don't trust his judgement whatsoever.
  12. According to a source Kryk reported in his most recent article that Toronto's plan was to relocate as soon as possible as recently as June. http://blogs.canoe.ca/krykslants/nfl/toronto-group-bidding-on-bills-rate-chances-as-slim-they-can-match-pegula-source-says/ So there's that.
  13. I have no idea, but I think It's possible they are accepting more bids just to make the process seem more legitimate. If the only real candidate going forward is Pegula it might make the whole thing look suspicious and put the trust into question. Adding at least one other bidder could make it more acceptable for Pegula to win. Or maybe they just want to drive the price up.
  14. Carpenter will kick two more field goals, the Giants will get a TD and field goal to win 20-19.
