    Wait 'till you hear my theory as to why so many people are defending Jenay's decision to stay with Ray...

    So according to you, the no-politics rule means that no one can discuss any issue/story as long as any person involved was once associated with the government? I hope you've never been so brazen as to mention the Mitchell Report on a baseball thread.

    Wrong, Sunshine. I claimed no such thing.

    YF was shut down in his attempt to use this story to bash Democrats, then he turned to pushing the "Condi Rice for Commish" angle. You do the math.

    Again, who really cares? Doubtful anyone here knows who the next commissioner MIGHT be, and at this point it's a moot point. Let YF play in his little sandbox by himself. The chances of Condoleeza Rice being commish are slim to none.

    You aren't under the delusion that he will stop if everybody ignores him, are you?

    Cue the "poor logic alert" buzzer on this one.

    If everyone ignores him, it won't matter if he stops.

    OOP is incapable of ignoring.

    Just not interested in it. There are posters who get bored and give up when they get no response to their crap and there are posters who just keep crapping. YF has shown himself to be the latter.

    You are such a foul presence on every thread.
    We are legitimately discussing people who could do a better job than the current scarecrow on Park Avenue.
    And Rice is one of them. So get over yourself.

    Looks like NRHS is going to have to send home another letter:

    Apparently you can go home again — even if you’re a wife beater.

    Disgraced NFL running back Ray Rice returned to his alma mater, New Rochelle HS, on Saturday, his first public appearance since a video of him knocking out his wife in an elevator cost him his job.

    The New Rochelle native walked onto the gridiron like a conquering hero, his toddler daughter, Rayven, on his shoulders and his battered wife, Janay, by his side.

    He strolled down the sideline and hugged longtime football coach Lou DiRienzo, who had invited his former team standout to the school’s home opener — despite a public outcry over the vicious, caught-on-tape beating.

    ...

    “He made a terrible mistake, but I know the character of the man, and he will rise from this. The mistake he made will be erased by the good deeds he will continue to do and by the good deeds he’s done. New Rochelle High School will always be Ray Rice’s home. Having him here today means the world to me.”

    The coach was reportedly upset, and even threatened to resign, after school officials last week removed Rice’s Ravens jersey from the gym wall and his picture from the school’s “Hall of Fame” hallway.

    DiRienzo invited Rice over the objections of Principal Reggie Richardson, according to the blog Talk of The Sound.

    The NRHS Principal:

    “The fact is that although we condemn Ray’s actions that he engaged in, we also have to acknowledge the fact that this is his home.”

    Asked if honoring a domestic abuser is a good lesson for children, the educator said, “Our job is to educate the kids as to why what Ray did was wrong, but he’s still part of this community.”

    Still proving you lied about being too busy this weekend, huh? Thanks.
