Dr. Whet Faartz would like to know if this smells funny to you?

No, but a lot of reporting quoting league sources sure as hell implied that the NFL saw it.

I thought that Goodell said that he has seen all the videos and made his decision based off that - including ones that weren't released to the public (implying this new one).

Instead they just ripped the drat bandage right off.

No.

Also can't sue for being terminated.

Once I heard they play on Thursday, and then heard the press conference setup for 8pm right as a 7 hour block of solid NFL action starts, I was pretty sure it would happen. Just makes too much sense to get him the gently caress out considering just how openly in revolt everyone is.

I was kinda hoping the NFL would create a new rule for the Ravens where they had to force them to feed the ball to Rice until he got tackled so many times that his brain leaked out of his rear end in a top hat, but oh well.

His wife should divorce him now and take half of his wealth.

Look, if you're gonna force someone to marry you at gunpoint you're probably gonna get a prenup too.

Yeah I think their spin is going to be they saw more than the public did but not the actual elevator video. Which of course none of us will believe but unless someone can prove that they did they'll ride it into the ground.

I hope somewhere out there we can unearth two definitive and official statements that directly reveal the awful lie that Goodell and the NFL are trying to sell us right now. That's the only way any serious change will come from this.

That's a technically true statement if ever there was one. Tiny slap/push, solid punch, left hook. Yup, basically an even exchange.

When I heard that he had no team support any more, I held some weird hope that his first game back would open with him receiving no blocking support and getting teed off on by unblocked defensive linemen and linebackers.

Yeahhh I was wondering about that. I only watched the gif that was posted here, not the video, but it looks like he's crowding her in the corner, then spits on her, then she pushes him back, then he punches her twice

I am a lousy gambler, but considering just how toxic he is and how old he is, I'd bet Rice never plays another snap.

I'm guessing Goodell is happy as a pig in poo poo that the Ravens cut him without him having to take all the heat from this.

I still hope he bans Rice from the game.

I said this to a coworker earlier. I expected that him getting cut would be almost the same as a ban. No way he gets more than a training camp look.
