The NFl can find out anything but didn't see this video? Bullshit.

I don't get what the video changes. Even if the NFL hadn't seen it, what did they think someone getting knocked out in an elevator would look like? Weak ass excuse.

Yeah, eventually got thick enough that not even a team willfully turning a blind eye to visual evidence could ignore things any more.

Ravens think Rice is a pu$$y for keeping her alive. Had he killed her, they'd have made Rice their captain.

I agree with this.

Glad to see something was finally done about this don't get why it took the video coming to make it happen.

And a statue...
Fuck the ravens. They should have cut him, instead the video came out and they are doing some damage control.

Let's not forget their first tweet regarding the issue...

"Janay rice deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident."

I hope nobody gives the ravens any credit.

I wonder if he'll ever play in the NFL again? I'm going with no.

He's done. It should be 100% because of this, but also he sucked last year so his best days are far behind him.

On a separate note, any chance Antonio Brown gets suspended at least a game for his karate move on the Browns punter?

This. He wasn't even injured last year. Very telling sign for RB's career winding down.

He should be, but the NFL seems to let the steelers get away with that type of shit. They have Tomlin a wrist slap for cheating. Rooney has goodell by the balls.

I am thinking that the kicker may get fined for at first looking like he was gonna go low to injure knees of the returner.

Kidding of course.

Fine, of course. Looked in real time like he was going to try and hurdle him but ended up, well, as the video shows.
If he gets suspended.......which is possible and probably warranted, I would say 1 game. Karating kicking a player in real time is about half as bad as punching out the wife...

I think they'd have a tough time proving that it wasn't just a hurdle gone wrong.

I don't disagree, but he definitely kept the boot out instead of pulling it back in.

Has the Browns punter apologized for the role he played in the incident?

If they started Johnny like everyone with a brain knows they should, they wouldn't need to waste a roster spot on a punter.
