Glad you brought up the Ray Rice penalty comparison. It illustrates how suspect NFL "justice" is under Goodell.

Thanks but I'm hardly the only one. Here's some of the best one's I've found.

So Ray Rice knocks his wife out and gets ONLY a 2 game suspension . Brandon Merriweather tries to avoid a helmet hit and is suspended?
Washington, DC

Merriweather 2 games for violating safety rules. Rice two games for violating a chick's cranium. Ok

Ben Farquhar ‏@B_Farquhar 42m
So Merriweather going helmet 2 helmet with a WR in the preseason is the same thing as Rice going hand to face with his wife? #TheMoreYouKnow

Cassie McHenry ‏@CassieMcHenry 26m
Glad Merriweather got the same punishment as Ray Rice for a hit in a violent game not physical abuse of a woman???? #ok

You can find more here.

I really like this one from PFT:

Two games?

Didn’t realize Merriweather delivered a forceful blow to the head and neck area of a woman.
