Ray Rice to be suspended two games.

vibe4giants : 7/24/2014 10:24 am
For knocking his now wife the eff out.
Too light? Just right? - ( New Window )
Adderall or Weed  
The Dude : 7/24/2014 10:25 am : link
4 games. beating your wife, 2.
Back in my day, that was acceptable.  
BrettNYG10 : 7/24/2014 10:25 am : link
I like the suspension even though I would have preferred more.  
BrettNYG10 : 7/24/2014 10:26 am : link
I suspect there would be an issue with the PA if they gave a lot more.
She loves it.  
vibe4giants : 7/24/2014 10:27 am : link
You can tell.
It would be awkward for the PA to come out complaining  
vibe4giants : 7/24/2014 10:28 am : link
in this situation.

But I'm guessing all the damage control Rice did in the aftermath helped a lot.
really weird situation  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 7/24/2014 10:29 am : link
but I'm glad he received atleast a small suspension.
Kinda sends the message that knocking out a woman  
Wuphat : 7/24/2014 10:30 am : link
is half as bad as smoking a joint.

Pretty grotesque...  
Dunedin81 : 7/24/2014 10:32 am : link
"run of the mill" domestic violence is awful enough, but he is on video dragging an unconscious woman through a hotel. He deserved a lot more than two games.
Good job Goodell  
UConn4523 : 7/24/2014 10:32 am : link
reinstate a serial dog murderer and racketeer, allowing wife beaters to play almost a full season, but man you will crack down on that adderall if its the last thing you do!!!!!!
well, she is marrying him

Imagine what the footage from inside the elevator looks like.

Fixed.
are suspensions for stuff like this  
GIANTSr01 : 7/24/2014 10:36 am : link
collectively bargained or are they left to the discretion of the commish (and open to appeal)?

It's hard to complain about drug suspensions (be it for PED or pot) when the players themselves agreed to the terms in CBA.
Goodell  
old man : 7/24/2014 10:46 am : link
is clueless. But maybe he's not heard domestic violence is also an issue. Or unless he thinks guys juiced(on Adderall) only beat their (in) significant doso because of the juicing.
The drug penalties...  
Dunedin81 : 7/24/2014 10:48 am : link
are collectively bargained for and in the case of most of them require a second or subsequent offense. Personal conduct is more subjective, and I'm sure the fact that this ended up as a misdemeanor helped him out. But it still looks awful.
The NFL is lost.

We now live in a world where speaking your mind has a stiffer penalty then punching your wife in the face.

What is Jay Mohr referring to? Was a player suspended for speech recently?
I totally get certain druge  
UConn4523 : 7/24/2014 11:00 am : link
being against the CBA rules and thus a 4 game suspension. But its also irrelevant in a way. By not having more heinous crimes as part of the CBA, or flat out trumping the CBA's terms is absolutely awful.
He did not beat his wife  
Reale01 : 7/24/2014 11:05 am : link
He knocked her unconcious, and not just for a couple of seconds.

This is only a guess on my part, but I think there's a chance he's referring to Chris Kluwe?

But Kluwe was just old-fashioned cut and unable to catch on elsewhere. And I don't listen to Mohr, but is he likely to be sympathetic to Kluwe?

Or Donald Sterling.

Per Florio  
BigBlueCane : 7/24/2014 11:43 am : link
this was Rice's first brush with the policy and he's otherwise been a model citizen.

Next time, the ban hammer drops.
Sterling makes more sense.  
vibe4giants : 7/24/2014 11:44 am : link
And Mohr having a problem with that fits with what little I know of him.

Yup, Kluwe was overpaid and a mediocre punter. He was cut for a better, cheaper alternative.

I have no idea if that's what he's alluding to, but that was my first guess. I know little to nothing about Mohr.
Thought he'd get more, to be honest.

I don't think there's anything 'kinda' about it. So on the NFL scorecard, you're OK with mowing down someone when you're plastered, you're 2 games out if you knock your wife unconscious, and 4 games if you take drugs or PEDs. Run an interstate gambling ring that specializes in the torture of animals and you get a lofty one year ban.

Too bad nobody commits plain ole robberies over there, I'd be curious to see what one of these guys would get for knocking over a 7-11. Who knows, maybe the Bengals will solve that one for me before too long.
This "first brush with the policy" thing is bullshit.  
Exit 172 : 7/24/2014 12:20 pm : link
Yes, he knocked his girl TFO. But, he never did it before, so let's go easy on him.

Give me a break...
Yeah. I think the only thing the 'first brush' thing demonstrates  
vibe4giants : 7/24/2014 12:28 pm : link
is that Rice was really good at bullshitting everyone. I could be wrong, but it's hard for me to imagine that one becomes okay with punching a woman out all at once.
dirt bag  
nedhiggins : 7/24/2014 12:30 pm : link
can't believe he gets 2 games and Josh Gordon gets a year for smoking weed. What an absolute joke.
Hey, it's not like weed, Adderall, or PEDs ever ask for it.

first offense should be for drug use  
UConn4523 : 7/24/2014 1:01 pm : link
not beating the shit out of your wife (or anyone else). Its ridiculous.

The fact that Goodell isn't being blasted for this publicly is crazy (I could be wrong on that, but I haven't heard much yet).
How does

Anyone remember

No?

He's talking about Anthony

I think the charge was that he was a racist. But the day that a unionized NFL player and a non-unionized radio personality work under identical standards of conduct is the day that comparison holds any weight.

How does Goddell think two games is being tough  
Matt M. : 7/24/2014 6:18 pm : link
especially when he is still collecting a game check for one of them?

Another player, I forget who, just got suspended 4 games for a banned substance. Technically it is a banned substance, but it was prescribed by his doctor because he and his wife are having trouble conceiving. So, that is 4 games, but beating and then dragging your wife is two? And Harbaugh says everything is OK because he has been good since then. OK. F the Ravens and F Goddell.
At least they showed Terrelle Pryor  
Rob in NYC : 7/24/2014 8:22 pm : link
Who the boss is.

Selling your own shit and getting free tats....5 games.
And the thing is  
TheNeumann64 : 7/24/2014 10:26 pm : link
it's not even really a wait and see until the courts have their say type thing. Rice has never disputed the facts of the event.

And again, hitting a woman is never OK, but this isn't like some thing where the cops were called to a house and it turns out he had pushed her against a wall or something. The word in the official report I believe is "uppercut."

Jimmy Googs : 7/25/2014 2:27 pm : link
last week. When he heard he got suspended last night for 2 games he asked me what Rice got suspended for and I told him.

His eyes opened up wide and he said "well, I am not going to play him at all then...".
