    Re: Ravens terminate Ray Rice

    Wow - can they do that, under NFLPA rules and the CBA?

    Yeah, but I can still see a grievance being filed by the NFLPA over it.

    Re: Ravens terminate Ray Rice

    Now let's hope Goofdel gets canned. Will it happen...No, but I sure hope it's the beginning of the end. TMZ can get the video and the NFL can't. Then they send out their goons to say the 2 game suspension was just. Pshh. What a joke the league looks like.

    I think Goofdel is on fire, where is the fire brigade???

    Re: Ravens terminate Ray Rice

    After drawing heavy criticism, Goodell wrote a letter to NFL owners, saying, "I didn't get it right." He also wrote: "My disciplinary decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families.
    Now, with that being said, does anyone truly believe this claim?

    TMZ Sports released a video showing him punching his then-fiancée in the face in an Atlantic City hotel elevator in February.

    The NFL says it never saw the video until Monday.
    Sorry, I'm not buying it...

    It definitely won't happen now. The Ravens effectively let him off the hook when they cut ties with Rice. Unless another team signs Rice in the near-term, the pitchfork-wielding lynch mob has been given their sacrifice.

    Goodell has suspended him indefinitely "after seeing" the video.

    They can cut a player for whatever they want. Even if they just don't like him. I don't think there are any grounds to protest it in the world of non-guaranteed contracts. Suspensions you can protest, but this is simply cutting ties, which they're allowed to do.

    No, it's obvious horseshit. The casino said the NFL had seen the footage during the original investigation. I sure hope Goodell gets what's coming to him, but somehow I think all that $$$$ means the owners have their blinders on, and they're the only ones with the power to do anything about him.

    Well if nothing else it puts a white HOT spotlight on the NFL and the commish is in the media cross hairs. TMZ can do what the NFL can't.

    Ah, good point. The key being "non-guaranteed contract." I'm just so used to teams being so hamstrung by the CBA as far as suspensions and fines of players are concerned, that I lumped the outright cutting of players into the same mix.

    The media is correct. And the Rat organization isn't any better than Goodell.

    Great, now he'll cry some more about the DA not fully cooperating with the league. Gee, do ya think you could have went to the hotel directly and asked for the footage they had, if that was the case (and it wasn't)?

    Said league spokesman Brian McCarthy regarding the video: "We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."

    That's the question...did the Ravens terminate Rice because they finally saw the video OR did they terminate Rice because WE finally saw the video...

    The Ravens and NFL said they didn't see the video...believe what you want.

    Re: Ravens terminate Ray Rice

    Guess Roger didn't have enough leverage with TMZ. Cat's out of the bag now and forced him to levy an indefinite suspension and the Ravens to cut him.

    Roger's made a complete debacle out of this whole domestic violence policy. Listen to the players for once.

    The NFL could be lying about whether or not it's seen the video but that's an incredible risk if they get caught. Think it's unlikely.

    The Ravens I can halfway believe, since they were deferring to the NFL as far as discipline in this case goes. But TMZ posting it to the world before the NFL ever saw it? Not buying it.

    And considering that the dude has FUBARed one disciplinary decision after another since Spygate, I know what I believe. This is a classic case of CYA, IMO.

    What a moron. What did he think that video was going to show? Them playing patty cake, and her slipping and hitting her head?

    Phony bastard (Goodell) has set the league up to be sued by Rice for his own initial incompetence.

    If they say they didn't, even if that's true, don't believe they had no idea what was on it. If there was anything on that video that would have put Rice in a more favorable light his defense team would have made it public long ago.

    Flacco is pretty much screwed unless Bernard Pierce or Justin Forsett can play at Rice's pre-2013 level. If he doesn't have a solid RB, he plays like dog crap

    I'm taking Goodell's track record in these matters into account here, which isn't good. And I call bullshit that the league didn't see that footage until today.
