The only people who's panties are a twist about all this, don't really matter within the above-mentioned equation.

1, 2, and 3 are all about the money and that is sad

#4--I only hope she gets the help she needs before he kills her.

As far as the last paragraph, well, I guess we "twisted" can just vote with our bucks and not support anything having to do with the NFL...and that really does matter to the good old boys of the NFL

#4 is about money too.

your opinion. Not mine

well duh.

{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

So I guess that makes her a prostitute of a different sort huh?

your opinion. not mine.

duh and duh

You're just Little Miss Captain Obvious aren't you? IF we post it is OBVIOUS that it is the person who is MAKING THE POST's opinion now isn't it?

Bingo on the bold print!

I think it's horrible to even use God's name in conjunction with the evilness of that incident, and the evilness of the greed that excuses it.

Disgusting.

I'm with you on this, Lion.

But I wouldn't expect anything less from the OP.

Attn posters: Some words sound differently than their meaning. Millions of people today are cooking with 'Seitan' & eating 'Devil's' food cake today...on a Sunday (gasp!)...and that doesn't make them evil. =Smiley Very Happy

Out of all the posters, I really didn't think you'd be the one which was linguistically challenged...and would understand the meaning of 'Godspeed'...! =:0. Disappointed. You really CAN'T teach an old dog new tricks. No doggy treat today...!

Re: Ray Rice reinstated in NFL

And I've said it above - give it another few years, the NFL will be done with Rice, he'll dump the wife and she'll be singing a whole new tune. How it wasn't the first time he hit her and she'll now be playing the poor battered abused wife and how she only wanted to stay to keep her family intact. I feel it's not a matter of if this happens but how soon!

I'm with you on this. No way was this elevator encounter the first domestic dispute these two had. She will give it her all at that point, hitting him up for the payola in child support and whatever else she can get $$.

Re: Ray Rice reinstated in NFL

Men and women have fights in relationships all the time. They just don't resort to knocking someone out. Physical violence is never acceptable from either gender, but there's a big difference when an over 200 pound football player punches a woman in the face, her head slamming against a wall, knocking her out. I am surprised she didn't have damage months later. Maybe they have a volatile relationship. All I know is if my fiance punched me or hit me in any way, it would be the last time he would ever do that. I would press charges, and I most certainly would not turn around and marry him. She has just guaranteed her future.

ITA She is calling it a "mistake". I wonder if she would be as forgiving if he was a guy without $$$$$ and a big life style. She did the interview with Matt Lauer with a smug sneer on her face and basically blamed everyone but Ray. Her mother is a piece of work too! Who would be OK if this happened to their daughter?

Re: Ray Rice reinstated in NFL

I was shocked listening to the "Today Show" interview this morning.

She clearly said that the Ravens' team mgt. told her she needed to issue a statement and claim partial responsibility. She said they basically outlined what THEY wanted her to say and she followed it.

The whole thing is beyond disgusting.

I agree with others that this is not the first time he hit her. It was so violent that I don't believe he doesn't have an anger problem. And, it won't be the last time.

NO excuses for it. Ever.

So are you saying that if your own daughter was beaten up by some over 200 pound j e r k, you would be OK with it if. Sometimes I read things on this forum from another woman that I just cannot comprehend on any level.{#emotions_dlg.blink} Then to add Godspeed to the reply only makes me SMH even more.

If the NFL is OK w/ it, Godspeed.
If the new team he signs w/ is OK w/ it, Godspeed.
If fan base of 80,000 filling the stadium is OK w/ it, Godspeed.
If the victim, his then GF now his WIFE, is OK w/ it, Godspeed.
