Lol of course.

Hey does everyone remember how arrogant harbaugh appeared when addressing this situation? He got a lotta 'xplaining to do too.

Thinking there is a good chance both harbaugh bros could be in the college game next season

Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident.

Remember this gem tweet? It was still up for most of the day until sometime this afternoon. Guess their PR finally decided....hey, maybe this was a dumbass idea.

I'm sorry I ended up as a punching bag. Boy, if that isn't a battered woman I don't know what is. She better start figuring out divorce papers before the money dries up.

Question I posed to SS today is do you really think this incident was the first time he's hit her? His demeanor in all of it seems like it's natural to him. (during and after)

The thing that frustrates me the most is this:


The fact that they have a kid together makes this one big cluster. Even more than that, the thing that really scares me is that having Ray Rice for a Dad increases the risk that his daughter could easily end up attracted to abusive a-holes like, well Ray Rice, when she grows up.

How the abusive behavior of fathers effect their daughters?

The father-daughter relationship influences how grown-up daughters feel about themselves as women.

It can influence their choice of an intimate partner.

The daughters of an abusive father may, as an adult, be more susceptible to domestic violence, eating disorders, alcoholism or drug abuse and sexual promiscuity.

Granted its not guaranteed that Ray Rice's daughter will seek out abusive a-holes but just like many people with a family history of alcoholism need to be careful around booze (ie the alcoholism gene), people who are around abusive or traumatic experiences like domestic violence need to be careful, with, well basically everything when they grow up (dating, drugs, alcohol, eating habits).

To me, the outrage over the video is somewhat naïve. I mean really, do you know the force it takes to knock someone unconscious? Even for few moments? For someone, anyone, to be turned into a sack of potatoes like the fiancé was, that takes some serious, brutal force. To me, the video is what I thought had happened. (In my younger days, I knocked guys out once or twice and each time my fist hurt like hell).

When the story was first told it sounded more like he pushed her and she hit her head. That was the story Rice and his wife were saying. You can in the video see her hitting her head. Plus there wasn't a picture of her face with damage.

Because the prosecutor went so light on him, the NFL sent so light on him, and that was both of their stories I really didn't expect a punch like that.

I guess. I hope that is the explanation.

I don't know why coming across stuff like this surprises me anymore:

She clearly came at him 0:33. He was backed into a corner.

Lol she deserved it too be honest. She knew he was an athlete and that he was physically stronger, yet she still had the audacity to strike him not once but three times?? Even if Ray could've restrained her him hitting her was warranted cause she hit him. The woman should've figured what could've happened.

Thatd what she gets, all that she is just a women bullshit is trash, maybe some of your mothers were abused or something but the fact of the matter is a lady should know her lane, she should know when to shut the fuck up. He pays the bills so she should shut up and if she cant stand it just leave. She had it coming. Wanna act like a man you gunna get treated like a man.

I'm willing to bet that those fans are using the exact same backwards rationalization methods as the geniuses in the quoted post I got from YouTube.

Ray Rice is NOT entitled to 2014 salary as a vested veteran. Must be on 53-man roster at season start; he was on the suspended list.

You've lived in Baltimore, right? I've said it before - there is a significant part of the Ravens' fan population that are simply Eagle fan wannabees.

Yeah, their reactions to him didn't surprise me at all. Ravens fans (not all, obviously, but a vocal portion of them) will support anything their players do but will jump all over the slightest perceived slight against them.
I was just shocked that my coworker, the biggest ravens ball licker ever, actually agreed with them releasing him. But sure enough, the fact that rice didn't play particularly well in '13 played into his opinion.

I know we all give passes to our guys to a certain extent, but this is the same fan base that worships ray lewis, a guy who very likely had a hand in the murder of two men.

Hopefully his career is over. His play was already trending down and he's nearing 30. Now with all this drama who would want him?
