    The NFL has botched the whole process so badly it's an embarrassment. Still, I can't fathom any team signing Rice. He's nowhere near the player that, say, Adrian Peterson, is. And the off field stuff would be a nightmare.

    It's very likely that if none of this had happened, Rice would be a benchwarmer at best for the Ravens with a real possibility they'd have waived him. So only a truly desperate team would pick him up. If I had Andrew Luck, but Trent Richardson as my only RB, I might be desperate.
    It's also noteworthy that a federal judge appears to have decided Goodell was full of shit.
     
  3. I think noteworthy is an understatement.

    only the NFL can make a guy who punched out his girlfriend look like a victim. 'Murcia, fuck yeah.

    Yep. Pretty spot-on. Would have been smart to announce he was taking a year off. But then he'd be washed up even more.

    Losing Rice was a huge break for the Ravens. it helped get the ball in Forsett's hand's earlier in the season and more often.

    Jamele Hill got the interview with Janay.

    Goodell's a caring, good guy, she said.

    Jemele with Ley right now.

    He would be having the season Forsett is having had this not happened. I'm sorry that doesn't fit with the narrative that's popular, but I'm quite certain it would be true.

    Apparently, you did not watch the 2013 season and you do not realize that Rice's skills were already in decline.

    But hey, keep making those failed assumptions.

    Good God, you never relent, do you?

    He's allowed to have an opinion, even if it happens to disagree with yours.
