This is just gross: Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has been suspended for the first two games of this season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy following his offseason arrest for domestic violence. The suspension, which was announced Thursday by the league, stems from Rice's altercation with then-fiancée Janay Palmer at an Atlantic City hotel in February.
it's been many years since I hurled after drinking- one of the advantages of being an oldz is learning to stop before 'one too many'
(also too- hurling looks like rugby with sticks. I'd rather go with curling)
Allegedly (and I say this because I got the info from ESPN, which is doing yeoman&#039;s work as the NFL&#039;s external PR firm today) the NFL has video of what happened in the elevator. According to this supposed video, she attacked him, he backhanded her, and she hit her head on the railing inside the car. Needless to say <em>how</em> this possibly could mitigate what happened (since generally speaking backhanding people into fixed and stationary objects is a good way to cause serious damage) remains a mystery. Even if you believe this version of events, he&#039;s a 5&#039;8&quot;, 218-lb. professional athlete who makes a living knocking over people substaintially taller and heavier than he is. I would say his response (again, if you believe what is being reported) was not proportional whatsoever.
<i>Janay and I have learned from this</i>
She&#039;s learned to keep her damned mouth shut and learned to duck when I&#039;m in one of those moods and I&#039;ve learned to use a bag of oranges because they don&#039;t leave an incriminating mark</i>
I do wonder if the NFL is trying to see how far they can go before actually losing viewers or are they just so arrogant they don&#039;t care? Between them and FIFA I maybe stuck with just water polo. 5 more hours to drinking on the bright side.
you are giving Americans WAAAAY too much credit here. These are the same people cheering on the botched executions in an orgy of bloodlust and revenge and playing apologist for rapists because those sluts had it coming. If you think the average American is going to have a thoughtful and nuanced position on anything you&#039;re going to be sorely disappointed- face it, we&#039;re a bunch of barbarians
That reminds me, 4 more hours to drinking. Maybe we can adopt Hurling, that looks very violent.
Yes I am. Any other stupid questions you want answered?

At least, if you can prevent the fucking players biting each other.
Why the only sport I follow is pro wrestling; at least the fixing is in the open there.

Quoth the Raven, &quot;SHUT UP BITCH! SMACK&quot;
What a whiny bunch of wusses, I tells ya! You don&#039;t see any of the linemen he knocks down complaining, do you?

And the French in the 18th. Well, <i>most</i> of the 18th.
&quot;Loved one&quot; ... I don&#039;t think it means what Rice thinks it means.
Q) What do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes?
A) Nothing- you already told her twice
We get it, Stephen A Smith: the dishes are piling up.
