Santheb posted:Ravens fan from work when asked on this: Well they did give him a standing ovation yesterday. The sad thing is, if they cut him now, he gets all of his salary because he's a veteran so it's guaranteed after opening day. Cutting him wouldn't really be a punishment.

Santheb posted:What about if the NFL suspends him indefinitely? He already was suspended two games for this incident. If they went double jeopardy on him, the NFLPA would go nuclear, even if it is double jeopardy against a shithead who deserves any bad thing that could happen to him.

How long does she have to be married to him before she can leave and take half his money? Because I hope that's the only reason she went through with the marriage.

Harlock posted:They could. It would put all the pressure on the Union to try and defend its player and his conduct, and that would be a PR nightmare I feel I don't think so. I'm sure they don't like what he did either(the union) but letting the league suspend him a second time for the same incident sets a legal precedent the union would not want to set. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't see the league even trying it for fear of the battle with the union.

Do you think all the other quotes from the last page that were made in jest are actually from a new press conference too? I was just saying that if there's a new press conference Ray Rice is just gonna say the same poo poo. "Look guys. We both really learned from this!"

OBR posted:I'm not really following how this video changes anything. We already had a video of him dragging a unconscious woman out of an elevator. Was it really unclear to anyone how she came to be unconscious in the elevator? Was there reasonable doubt that there was some kind of loss of air pressure during the ride? The one thing that this does change is that most parties were claiming that the secret elevator video showed her being violent towards him and ultimately provoking the punch. This shows that nothing of the sort happened.

Ramadu posted:Holy poo poo this reporter on ESPN is saying that as of right now the ravens arent planning to cut him because of the salary cap but might deactivate him instead. Eh that does make sense in a way because I think the 6 million he has left in prorated signing bonuses would get split this year and next. It's highly unlikely they have 3 million in cap room right now.

Garbo posted:Adam Schefter is on EPSN right now. Still steaming loving mad, but also reporting that cutting Ray Rice would save the Ravens 4 million in cap space this year so, according to him, that excuse is out of the window. I think that's not true. If a vested veteran is on a team in week one, his salary for the whole season becomes guaranteed. Though I don't know if being suspended leaves a loophole open.

Intruder posted:Cities build brand new billion dollar stadiums to woo the NFL into giving them a single Superbowl Not really they build them because if they don't the team will leave (and ultimately that won't actually hurt the local economy despite what politicians and team officials say, but the city decision makers really like having teams and getting free tickets).

Yeah he was probably going to be cut next season anyway. He really only missed out on this season's salary(which he should have lost anyway) and maybe a couple 2 million dollar years. If he's saved zero dollars from that bigass contract, he would just blow another 4 million.quote:What Vick did was so grotesque that our society wouldn't tolerate Vick getting probation + community service. How would you feel about comparing the two if Janay Palmer had died from the punch? Because grown rear end men have died from knockout punches to the face. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/07/01/michigan-ref-brutally-punched-during-game-in-critical-condition/ Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Sep 9, 2014 |

Mister Fister posted:That would obviously be different. But between what Ray actually did and what Vick did You're missing the point. Outcome doesn't change the fact that he easily could have killed her with what he actually did. And as mentioned, Vick lost tens of millions of dollars and spent time in an actual prison for what he did, and did tons of charity work. Ray Rice isn't doing any of that(the most money he's losing is like 8 million or so, he's not going to jail, he hasn't said poo poo about wanting to help battered women). quote:Does anyone else really want to see the Spygate tapes? I'm imagining they were pretty boring actually, some dudes going through don't-touch-the-quarterback drills.

Mister Fister posted:That's a different argument rather than whether it's morally permissible to let him back in. It would be morally permissible to let him back in if he showed actual remorse. He hasn't. Where's at least the halfhearted outreach to womens' charities? Maybe he will at some point, but if he keeps up this "we've learned from this, I'll lead my wife better" poo poo then gently caress him.

Although maybe they could take the opportunity to bench/cut him while Irsay has to stay away from the team.
