He has been cut.


Golf Clap for the NFL

and if the legal system can't yet prove it, then the NFL is taking just a PR position on something the law couldn't prove

IMO - that's fine - the NFL shouldn't be an arbitror of justice, just of business.

So I give them credit for making a good business decision.  But they don't get moral points.  If they could prove it, they should work with law enforcement to ensure real justice.  Not some made up version.

- losing his job is not a substitute for jail time, nor will it protect that woman from further abuse, nor will it protect those around him

I guess the Ravens reaction to the video was more intense than the police report too.

I know I'll take some heat on this but I call bs on the NFL claiming they didn't see the video that was released today.  Too many reports were made when the incident happened that indicated the NFL reviewed all the video that law enforcement had even though the inside the elevator video wasn't being released to the public.  Goodell must have had some inkling that the video would leak and he changed the policy.  Now they are denying ever seeing the video inside the elevator.  I wonder if all the NFL hard drives will crash along with the backups too.

It also seems a bit coincidental that a 2 month old video surfaces after the first week of regular season games.

It will be interesting to see if the NFLPA tries to take action against the Ravens or if his agents reach out to other teams to determine if there's any interest.   I'm not sure how the CBA works in these cases, but I'm guessing the Ravens lawyers know what they're doing.

At least the Ravens tried to do the right thing.

Ravens aren't the issue now. No team can/will sign him.

You're right, just saw the NFL suspended him indefinitely after the Ravens cut him.

They've gone back and quoted everyone who said the NFL had seen the video in July.

The NFL used it then to suggest to those on the outside that there was more to it than Ray just clocking his wife and that the video that we can't see shows that.  Despicable.

I'll give you five reasons: 1. Money 2. Fame 3. Money 4. Money 5. Money

Now that he's cut and pretty much done in the league we'll see how long it takes for her to divorce him and try to take half of his earnings thus far. She'll be doing the talk show circuit and star in a reality show soon.

You should apply for a job with the NFL.  They like to smear DV victims, too.

She got knocked out by her fiance and then married him. Sorry, she loses the "victim" card after that.

Im not smearing anyone. I have a buddy who has a sister. He fought a guy who put hands on his sister and a week later she went back to the guy. I was there when he told her the next time he does it he will not be there to fight the guy again. If it happens once SHAME ON THE GUY, if it happens again shame on both parties.

Im not smearing anyonem she married the guy a month after he knocked her unconscience with a left hook. He's a scumbag, but she went back to him.

Yep. I'm big-time on board with the men shouldn't put their hands on women train. But at the same time...she's an adult. A fully grown, fully matured human being...and she alone is responsible for her actions and decisions. And her decision to stay with a man who beats the crap out of her is ridiculous.

Play the victim, and you will be the victim.

Unless you know something I don't, it hasn't happened again.

I'm with you.  Any talk of his wife and the choices she's made or hasn't made since AFTER the incident in question occurred have no bearing whatsoever on this topic.**  The only reason to even mention her is to smear.  Why else would you even need to bring her up?

** Unless you're specifically talking about her decision to marry him and/or her to decision to cooperate (or not) with authorities and how that relates to Rice not being prosecuted.

P.S.  Also have no idea what "play the victim, be the victim" even means???

But she stayed with him, leaving the door open for it to happen again. And sorry but when the abuser says "It'll never happen again." I dont buy that one bit. If me saying she needed to leave him after cracking her jaw makes me a bad guy then that's fine. :whistle:

I think you're being a bit naïve here if you're really questioning why people might voice concern over her decision to marry a guy that knocked her out in an casino elevator.

I have no desire to smear her, but I do question the  judgment of someone that marries a person that has demonstrated an inability to control their temper and has placed hands on them in a violent manner.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
