This wasn't a very smart tweet by the Ravens organization. I'm really really surprised the PR team hasn't pulled it down. It's pretty much saying......"it's ok guys if Ray beat his fiancee......see, she apologized for her part!"

In fact, that whole press conference was a disaster.

Thats awesome. As a 6th round db on that team he probably stood no chance. Good for him.

This entire saga is sick and lacking in morality.

Yeah this is a cluster. When Big Ben had his transgressions there was at least enough doubt in both situations to look past it, but with Rice you got it on tape.

If he's found guilty or his fiance drops the charges solely to protect his financial interest then I think its time for Goodell to come in and lay the hammer, since the Ravens aren't going to do it.

[I]Edit: Great charges were dropped by his victim. Seriously the NFL needs to start looking into these instances where the charges of domestic assaults are conveniently dropped.

That reminds me. (Trust me this video is very relevant to the Ray Rice situation and no I'm not being sarcastic.)

Bottom line if the NFL is going to start poolicing players for little transgressions then it has to a better job of recognizing the difference between mistakes and f**k ups. For example

Mistake: Sammy Watkins got arrested for Marijuana Possession in 2012. Even though pot in terms of the law is overkill the fact remains that the risk is not worth it for a college player hoping to reach the NFL.

F*** up: What Ray Rice did.

Forgive mistakes, punish f*** ups. Heck whats the point of having a zero tolerance guy like Goodell in office if players are constantly getting away with f*** ups?

Classy move by Seattle, but f*** 'em anyway.

Can't wait for our game against them and the chance to beat their a**.

Much less respect for Ray rice and the ravens as a whole with their tweets. I'm lost with the inconsistency with the league where rice and irsay will get off very light but a year suspension for Gordon. No logic what so ever, crime and punishment ass effing backwards. I mean really dumb

Right on. Dont give me the its his first offense for hitting a woman, and Gordon has multiple marijuana offenses either. It is a very proven fact he hit her, and he should be banned for a long ass time if not forever. There are some things that are simply inexcusable.

First article I've ever read taking a neutral position on the Redskins name until more research can be done. I'm glad someone can bring an original thought to the table without immediately jumping to conclusions.

Ross Tucker said the same thing on SiriusXM NFL radio.

The founders of 12th Man Thunder are asking Buffalo-area bars to ban Bon Jovi's music from being played by DJs, live bands or juke boxes. They say so far [B]28 businesses have established "Bon Jovi Free Zones."[/B]
[/quote]

This has to be the most pointless boycott of all time. I mean how many bars and resteraunts are playing Bon Jovi songs these days anyway? Thats got to be as big a commitment as boycotting Cab Calloway and Mozart songs. Apparently thousands of bars and resteraunts across the country have unknowingly been "boycotting" Bon Jovi for years now.

While I can certainly understand being upset about the possibility of moving the team all this really does is remind people that Bon Jovi exists, increasing music sales and in turn giving him more money to buy the Bills.
