I just heard on the radio. Rice to get 2 game suspension.

As a side note Justin Blackmon just got arrested for possession of marijuana.

2 games?

Suck Steeler Nation's dick, Roger.

Wow...little lenient.

Beat your girlfriend but what ever you do... Do Not Smoke Pot man cause its bad for the brand. This is so laughable. Fuck goofwell. Women NFL fans should be Outraged!

Great point. Make sure to paint pictures of black eyes on all that pink gear this Fall.

You know what would make your sig even better lit? If the lady had a doob burnin'.

Back to the topic. This "suspension " is actually a kick in the... teeth? For women NFL fans everywhere. I hope there's a huge backlash. Unlikely I know.

So you beat a woman's face on camera and you only get two games?

Most be nice not being a Steeler. Suck a fat one Goodell, you piece of shit.

I'm seeing that rice was also fined.... $58K.

On the bright side this should be great news for Panthers Greg Hardy.

Pryor was suspended 5 games for selling jerseys in college. Big Ben got 6 for accusations, and no charges. Smoking weed gets you 4 games after a first offense. Ray gets 2 for knocking his wife out and dragging her lifeless body from an elevator on camera. Amazing.

That is an extremely lenient punishment for his offence.

So,
6 games for consensual sex with an attractive, unpaid woman
5 for profiting off of autograph sales
4 for weed
2 for beating women (is this the biggest woman beating suspension ever?)
0 for stealing millions from customers

I guess its unsurprising that if you get to set precedents for the severity of punishment associated with various transgressions,

You naturally tend to make that severity inversely proportional to the likelihood you yourself will someday have to answer for said offense.

Only cost James Harrison $75,000 for knocking out Mohamed Massaquoi. Joke of a clown = Roger the Asshat.

Tough part, first two games vs own division. Ravens 1 of only 3 teams w/ schedule like tht to open season #rayrice #wjz @cbsbaltimore

fucking ass hat is bitching about having to play 2 division games to start off season. don't mention Pittsburgh has the same fucking schedule.

So Ben gets 4 for a complaint that was never proven nor was he convicted and this loser gets 2 with video proof of him dragging his girl out of the elevator? 2 games isn't even a good joke. I guess having sex with a woman is bad but knocking her the fuck out is just a little naughty.

But meanwhile, Tony Dungy says he wouldn't draft Michael Sam and it's a huge uproar. I guess the LGBT agenda is on the front burner right now.

Didn't Ben get 6, or was it reduced to 4?

it was a 6 game that he only had to serve 4 of for good behavior or somesuch.

Superb, Im sure that whopping 2 game suspension will prevent Rice from projecting his loss of elite RB skills on his wife's cranium again, again and again. It is rare someone punching their wife out is a one time incident and I suspect Rice wont be the exception to that rule.

Technically, Ben was suspended for serving alcohol to 20 year olds. You can see how much worse a violation that is than actually knocking a woman unconscious.

As I've said before

Big crime + small media attention = small penalty

Small crime + big media attention = big penalty

Whoever made that sig bet with me...I lost. Tell me what my sig is.

Ray Rice is a shithead.

There is a TON of backlash going on right now. Michelle Beadle has been very vocal about the suspension.

Hopefully Goodell is feeling the heat. A really good tweet I read said "You think the commissioner would have handed down a heavier suspension if that was his daughter or sister being dragged out of that elevator?"

Hard to argue with that...

This pretty much sums it up.

Nice article.

Goodell is a fetid turd.

Goodell is a scumbag

Goodell has no consistency when it comes to handing out suspensions, especially for violent acts.

Greg Hardy might get only two games as well....I think? Who the fuck knows...

The NFLPA signed off on arbitrary authority for Roge. Stupid gets what stupid deserves.

Fuck these kunt journalists with there panties in a bunch...if the law is done with them then the NFL shouldn't have shit to say. It should be up to the teams. Serial killer and serial rapist last year...it can't get worse for the shield...yet ratings hit an all time high. Maybe Roge and the owners will realize no explicit disciplinary code only keeps this shit newsworthy...and lets the sissies make morality arguments...but maybe they do realize it...it's often been said there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I really don't care. Won't be surprised if Taliaferro takes over the job a few games in.

If only Rice had smoked a joint before cold cocking his missus, then justice could have been served...

Amazing quote from John Harbaugh:

"It’s not a big deal, it’s just part of the process,” Harbaugh said, via ESPN. “There are consequences when you make a mistake like that. I stand behind Ray. He’s a heck of a guy. He’s done everything right since. He makes a mistake, alright? He’s going to have to pay a consequence. I think that’s good for kids to understand it works that way. That’s how it works, that’s how it should be.”

Kids will learn that this really isn't a big deal...
