ray rice was caught on video, the league is all about image, not substance.

Truth. Only hope for longer suspension is if the outcry over this is large enough. That already happened once though.

apparently there's a new tougher domestic violence policy, but since it was made in reaction to these cases (but after the incidents took place) they can't apply it retroactively. new league minimum will be 6 games for the first offense and possible lifetime ban for offense #2.

also, technically he won his case on appeal since the victim didn't testify at the appeal, which is a thing you have to do in that state.

anyways, that's the less jaded/reactionary response.

Technically, it's been recognized the only reason she didn't testify is because a financial settlement was reached. Both parties have said this, none of the facts were ever successfully argued against in the guilty verdict. If there was a video, he wouldn't be in the league right now

A defendant has a right to appeal a conviction in Domestic relations court (lower court) to Circuit court (higher court) in Virginia too.

The appeal here is de novo or as if the original conviction never happened.

In Virginia, a person isn't entitled to a jury trial in lower court but is in Circuit court. I read in an article that was the case in NC as well but I'm not certain.

the fact he's now a cowgirl might have something to do with it.

Just another article about how dumb fans are when it comes to building stadiums for their teams.

I just forwarded to some friends.

Today is the last day to sign long term deals for those with the Franchise tags. Looks like Dez is going to miss some camp/games according to him.


@DezBryant

As much as I love football...on my beautiful babies.. I apologize #cowboynation but I will not be there if no deal #fact



@MikeKlis

Demaryius Thomas expected to miss training camp/preseason if no longterm agreement reached today: Broncos and Demaryius need final-hour compromise via @9News #9news


Lots of reports saying he and D. Thomas want Calvin Johnson type money, but I don't see it happening. In fact, Calvin Johnson shouldn't have gotten that contract he got. You don't pay WRs that kind of money, no matter how good they are.

People are severely overpaying for talent.



@AdamSchefter

KC's Justin Houston signed a 6-year, $101M deal that includes $52.5M GTD, richest Chiefs' deal in history, richest LB deal in NFL history.

That 52 million is probably spread out over 4 years perhaps? That's around 12 or 13 million per year? To me he may be a little overpaid but that's fine for them. They're not paying a ton of money at QB so they can pay out a little more to one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

The problem is that the cap is going to be going up significantly each year. It may be an overpayment this year, but in two years, it could be a pretty good contract for the team. By the time its over, that contract could be a steal if his play stays where its at.

Thats one of the problems with talking about contracts now compared to in the past. We didnt have the cap going crazy like it is now.

22 sacks will get you paid.
