When I met Ray Rice at a Rutgers Football Banquet, he was about 5'7" 185. a year later, he bulked up thx to sheer will and lots of hard work, and the rest is history. Rutgers Football is the house that Ray Built, and I feel bad. Ray is a high character, hard working, and likeable person, and i feel bad that he made such a terrible mistake.
I commend Commissioner Goodell for taking all the facts before he meted out punishment. Yes, Ray did something terrible, which deserved ramifications. But he also took responsibility and is making amends. He is going for counseling, He is embarrassed and is doing everything he can to learn from this incident, and become a better person. He has also been a credit to the community, working with special needs kids in New Rochelle and kids from disadvantaged communities too. These mitigating circumstances are probably what reduced the severity of his punishment.

The two game suspension Rice received was a joke. Hell you are suspended a minimum of four games for a first time failure of a drug test in the NFL!

Wasn't Ray Rice pretty close to coming to Syracuse.

This seems a lot like throwing stones in a glass house, and I hate Rutgers as much as anyone.

Yes. He has a long history of making bad decisions.

I would be embarrassed if I attended Rutgers too but he doesn't need to take it out on his significant other.

I saw a guy wearing a Rutgers shirt @ Disney World today, in line in front of me, I kept my mouth shut, but my 10 year old said to his face that they sucked...

...you had to be there to get it, it was funny.

RutgersAl back in town--time to check the Rutgers dumpster fire thread! Good timing, Al!

5 game suspension to Pryor for trading memorabilia for tattoos. Two game suspension to Rice for knocking his girlfriend (now wife) unconscious. Goodell is a fu**jng idiot.

If jackass Goodell took all the facts into consideration he would have suspended Rice fur the season

This isn't about Rutgers, or even Ray Rice for that matter. It is about the NFL and at least one journalist is left to explain, definitively, the problem. I'm no fan of ESPN and refuse to watch TV news anymore because it is all biased by their corporate owners, but I've always been a fan of Keith. Disclaimer to all the neocons on the board: don't bother.

It should be interesting what kind of suspension Goodell gives Jim "The High Mad Tweeter" for his transgressions.

 

[GFTakedown]

What kills me is they are considered role models and even pushed as role models by the league. Yet when they get in trouble, the league gives them a slap on the wrist. If any person in society did this, they would be fired in a heartbeat. Imagine if that was your child's teacher or your coworker. Do you think there would be this double standard? This is why I respect what Coach Strong is doing at UT. He is teaching kids that there are rules that must be followed and if they don't they can be replaced. The NFL should take a zero tolerance approach to all of this. Look below at the suspensions so far this year. Gordon's suspension is still pending but it will also be for a year.

Mistake? MISTAKE? Is that what assault and battery is in NJ?

This was pure thuggery and there are no mitigating circumstances. The handlers get involved and we get the same old playbook response - referring to it as a mistake; get the victim to stand by the perpetrator; make a public apology and then stay the hell out of the spotlight.

Did he deny that he did it? No. Does he deserve severe punishment if only to send a message? Yes!

He's not high character. He knocked his wife unconscious, dragged her out of an elevator, and then probably gave her hush money. SHE APOLOGIZED FOR HIM KNOCKING HER OUT.

If he wasn't in the NFL he'd be spending the next few years in prison. Absolutely ridiculous.
