Wow. Good job by them whether forced to or not
so insane  
Anando : 9/8/2014 2:23 pm : link
is their argument basically that they did not see this video before?

if it comes out that they did, but only chose to release once the public got hold of the video, that is truly dumb
Pathetic  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 9/8/2014 2:23 pm : link
The Ravens look like a joke.
wow  
Blue Baller : 9/8/2014 2:24 pm : link
Think anyone picks him up?
It's not a good job by them.  
kmed : 9/8/2014 2:24 pm : link
The only reason they did it was for PR. It would have been a good job if they released him when it first went down instead of saying he's a good guy who made a mistake. Instead of standing by him and all the players attending the press conference and the head coach saying that Rice is a good guy.
He'll be

With the Cowboys, by Friday.
kick the tires?

The Raiders or the Jets?
Done  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 9/8/2014 2:25 pm : link
and done.
Or

Bengals.
Took too long  
CrackerJack : 9/8/2014 2:25 pm : link
But it's the right thing.

Why the Cowboys

I would respect the Ravens for this  
derpaderp : 9/8/2014 2:25 pm : link
If they would also denounce Ray Lewis and take down that ridiculous statue. Still Bravo to them for this move at least.
From 2 games...  
Knineteen : 9/8/2014 2:25 pm : link
to what should have been 6 games...
and now he's released.

Quality job by the NFL.
People are giving the NFL and the Ravens too much credit.  
kmed : 9/8/2014 2:27 pm : link
It's not a quality job at all. It would have been a quality job if they did it right the first time. This is more like damage control after fucking it up the first time.

arcarsenal : 9/8/2014 2:27 pm : link
Well... bye.
yeah, I'm with you Kmed  
Blue Baller : 9/8/2014 2:28 pm : link
not a good job at all

shamed into this....good job NFL

Because Jerry Jones, is an attention whore
It would be a public relations nightmare for another team to sign him  
steve in ky : 9/8/2014 2:29 pm : link
at least for this season, likely even after that.
It is damage control but  
natefit : 9/8/2014 2:29 pm : link
its still the right thing to do. I dont think he gets picked up this season.
Completely with you kmed  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 9/8/2014 2:29 pm : link
I don't feel sorry for Rice but the way the NFL and the Ravens handled this all was brutal.
New England  
pjcas18 : 9/8/2014 2:29 pm : link
will sign him. Myra Kraft is dead and Belichick collects former Rutgers players.
The right thing to do  
kmed : 9/8/2014 2:29 pm : link
or the only thing to do? It's about the bottom dollar and this was not going to be good for the Ravens if they didn't release him.

this is CYA - sort of absurd that TMZ is the one who's forced everyone  
Nitro : 9/8/2014 2:30 pm : link
hand. The NFL & Ravens almost assuredly had seen the footage prior to this. I don't know if they deserve credit for it, seemed almost perfunctory given the 'new' evidence.

The Napoleon complex that propelled him to such heights finally did him in.

At least he has a loving wife to fall back upon during these hard times.
Did we all think she fell?  
RELICDOA : 9/8/2014 2:31 pm : link
Didn't we see her unconscious? So we all had to see him knock her out? As far as I'm concerned this is no news. Ridiculous.
"Ray" Lewis  
I Love Clams Casino : 9/8/2014 2:31 pm : link
"Ray" Rice...

Baltimore needs to stop drafting punks named Ray
Does Rice have any leg to stand on given the new rules say he should  
Knineteen : 9/8/2014 2:31 pm : link
get 6 games? Or is this a team decision that has no bearing on the suspension?

"Everybody makes mistakes" just like they said lol.
he'll probably be out of football for a year  
Peter from CT : 9/8/2014 2:32 pm : link
do all the "right" things and be signed by someone
The irony is going to be in a year from now

when she divorces him because he's not rich anymore.
My guess is  
Enoch : 9/8/2014 2:33 pm : link
Ravens brass had a heart-to-heart with Ray about this a little while back, and the newly-released video contradicted the story he told them.

This would've been a much harder decision if Rice hadn't kinda sucked last year.

Yeah I don't really see how they deserve credit. Even if they didn't see the video, they knew what happened, they just had the benefit of the public knowing, but not actually seeing. Now that we've seen it, which is jarring even if you knew what happened, people are making a stink about it (rightfully so). Taking action only after the public outcry starts to boil over isn't particularly admirable.

Agreed. The video contradicted the story he told the Ravens and the NFL.
The voice of people have spoken  
JoefromPa : 9/8/2014 2:35 pm : link
and the NFL has acquiesced. This should have been the ruling from the first.

However, I am not in the camp that believes he doesn't deserve a second chance. I wonder if his wife is pleased with the decision, my guess is no.

If Vick can have "redemption" somehow, rice surely will after this. What Vick did was immensely more egregious than this one act by rice disgusting as it is.

Ninja : 9/8/2014 2:37 pm : link
They arent even drafting rbs in the first round anymore. Hes not worth the PR backlash, even after this season.He'll never play again.

I bet his wife  
deadkurtrulz : 9/8/2014 2:38 pm : link
is not happy to see the big bucks end. Better get it now before it's all gone. I don't think any team will sign him. The PR hit would be immense.

through counseling and say he learned. Jim Gray interview about his past and how he was raised (probably cry)

he does, but it's a short one.
that Peter King report from July  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 9/8/2014 2:44 pm : link
that was posted in the other thread makes it sound extremely likely that the NFL and the Ravens had already seen this video months back. There's no way Peter King could describe that video so accurately without his sources inside the league telling him.

I hate to compare evils because they are all horrible, but I don't know that I could agree with Vicks actions being "immensely more egregious"
