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

[CountDeMoney]

Of course, there were the "We should bench Flacco for Tyrod Taylor" callers, more than usual.  I expect to hear that all week.

I thought that was more of a racist thing though.

No, it's more of a "running QBs work in Madden, so why not real life" thing.  But Baltimore's always had a fetish for back-up quarterbacks.  STONEY CASE FTW

[Ed Anger]

I think we have forgotten one of the most important things today:

Belicheat lost.

I assume Kraft is having his assistant beat a hooker so he can get it up after that loss

[MadBurgerMaker]

That wasn't a very good QB sneak.

Ah, OK.  I just don't remember all the backup hype when Bulger was the guy.

You can expect a new wave of Ray Rice hate, now that TMZ has released the video from the elevator.

Oh, boy...

Poor guy was really sorry about the whole thing and can't catch a break

[CountDeMoney]

He looks bad, but the cops, courts and commissioner looks worse.  They all saw that video already. 

[Alcibiades]

The video doesn't look good....

Does he punch her at the end, or is he pushing her face away....with force.... and it unfortunately hits the bar?

[CountDeMoney]

Looks to me like he slaps her and her head hits the elevator wall and bar.  Not that it really matters at this point.

You watch, the league's going to either roll back his suspension to 6 games, or the Ravens themselves will extend it to 6 games.

Yeah, it was ugly no matter how you slice it.

  Yeah, right.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm telling you, this kind of PR nightmare, somebody's going to do something.  The league's a little hamstrung with what to do, what with the CBA and whatnot, but the Ravens took no disciplinary action against him, so there's wiggle room on their end.

[derspiess]

It looked...inside-out.   

Bengals offense looks crisp.  Don't think even they can keep shooting themselves in the foot, though.

From the camera angle I couldn't figure out how it got dislocated even though it obviously was.  All I saw was that it looked like he got hit in that area.  It was apparently how he landed on it.

Tweet from Dan Wetzel, I think he is with Yahoo:

Txt'ing with team officials around NFL, they predict Ravens will cut Ray Rice. "Have to." Not sure anyone would pick him up.

[CountDeMoney]

Bah, that's bullshit right there.

[CountDeMoney]

Cutting him, and he's a $9.5m in dead cap next year, and $4.75m in dead cap space in 2016.  She wasn't hit as hard as the cap would be.
