NFL 2014 Week One....Momma Said Knock Your Wife Out

[Admiral Yi]

There's lots of things about this that don't make sense; no matter what the truth is, it will be weird.

Major media outlets have been reporting since the spring that the NFL saw the video before they punished Rice, but no one ever contradicted that until Monday when the video was released.  Why wouldn't the NFL shoot those reports down immediately?

I could see a situation where the league saw the video, still only suspended Rice for the 2 games and assumed that that video would never become public.  Once it did Goddell just started burying himself in lies.  It doesn't make a lot of sense, but I could see it.

There are two videos.

There are two videos. 

Yes.  Everybody meant the outside the elevator video when they wrote the story in the spring.

[sbr]

No.  Peter King for sure, and another major media member that I can't remember at the moment, both reported that the NFL saw the in-elevator video before punishing Rice.

Everyone has seen the first video released of Rice dragging her out of the elevator.

No.  Peter King for sure, and another major media member that I can't remember at the moment, both reported that the NFL saw the in-elevator video before punishing Rice.

Wow.  How juicy.

Yes, lets focus on how the league handled your Raven beating the shit out of his fiancee. That is the important point.

That is the scandalous part of this story.

Apparently not.

No.  Peter King for sure, and another major media member that I can't remember at the moment, both reported that the NFL saw the in-elevator video before punishing Rice.

Wow.  How juicy.

An addendum to the Ray Rice coverage:

Earlier this summer a source I trusted told me he assumed the NFL had seen the damaging video that was released by TMZ on Monday morning of Rice slugging his then-fiancée, Janay Palmer, in an Atlantic City elevator. The source said league officials had to have seen it. This source has been impeccable, and I believed the information. So I wrote that the league had seen the tape. I should have called the NFL for a comment, a lapse in reporting on my part. The league says it has not seen the tape, and I cannot refute that with certainty. No one from the league has ever knocked down my report to me, and so I was surprised to see the claim today that league officials have not seen the tape.

I hope when this story is fully vetted, we all get the truth and nothing but the truth.

They had to have seen it?

Lol thanks for making things even worse, Peter King.

[CountDeMoney]

Peter King's just following orders.

From who?

DAMN Ray Rice is on my fantasy football team at work...waste of a pick!

Jana Weckerly, 27, wants more than $1 million in damages after Jones kissed her, groped her genitals, made her rub his penis and forced her to watch as the businessman received oral sex from a different woman, according to the suit filed Monday night in Dallas County, Texas.

Poor girl.

WTF? Are you serious?

[CountDeMoney]

From who?

The NFL.  It's no secret he's been a shill for the league for years.

JT The Brick was the guy who was going on & on Tuesday about how the Monday night games were tainted.  On my drive home yesterday I briefly listened to him talk about how nobody at the Thursday Night game will be thinking about football & that the Ray Rice episode will weigh on everyone's minds.  I think he also went ahead and pronounced that all week 2's games will be tainted.  After about 2 minutes I couldn't listen to any more of it.

Oh Lord, Dan Patrick has the NOW president on his show right now.  I love Dan but WTF, don't feed the monster.
