The Ray Rice Elevator Video

A WordPress blog that's been taken down, too. The link in the NYT story is no longer found. Oops.

 

I prefer a small piece of dark chocolate.

 

Heh, heh.

 

Funny to hear Carl Banks lecture the NFL on domestic violence since he was once arrested for ....... domestic violence.

FLINT, MI – NFL legend Carl Banks says the NFL missed a big opportunity by letting Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice off with a two-game suspension.

The House Judiciary Committee has just fired off a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ... demanding that he come clean.

Probably healthier but I find that dark chocolate nullifies the taste of the coffee too
much.

 

Who's putting whip cream on their coffee?

 

I only put whip cream in my coffee if there is some Jameson around to go with it.

 

It's pretty fricken gross that Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend/wife, and then killed himself in the parking lot of an NFL facility and it still took Ray Rice to have a big national conversation about partner abuse, right? In fact, if I remember right, that ended up just being a lot of speculation about head injuries. For like a week.

 

That's an Espresso Con Panna.

 

"National conversations" (damn, I fucking hate that term) rarely last longer than a week or two. Those with divergent interests usually ensure that.

 

Perfect combination of video evidence and Rice being a big-enough name to get people's attention, but not so big that he couldn't be thrown under the bus by the other "players" involved.
