Effective immediately.

If a guy can be forced to sell his team for mere words spoken...then this horrendous decision to only ban this piece of **** two games should be enough for him to get voted out as commissioner.

This is absolutely indefensible. Period.

As long as he stays brutally tough on weed it's all good. I'm pretty certain what I inhaled second hand on the school bus in 1980 was way more than what Josh Gordon got 16 games for!

When does society draw the line on felony assault, screw the suspension, this dirtbag should be in jail

i saw the video this morning, and they said the nfl also saw this one, before giving out the paltry two game suspension.
simply unreal. and it's outrageous that a guy got a year suspension over pot, and this guy gets two lousy games. hello, in some places marijuana is legal, and in many others it's a misdemeanor. the nfl really needs to rethink this garbage.
but hey, everyone knows if you have talent for the field, you can pretty much do anything and still play.

It has actually been repeatedly said by the NFL that they did NOT see this particular video before his suspension was handed out. That, of course, is actually worse than them seeing it beforehand.

that's not what i read. the articles i saw said they DID see it before giving the suspension.

edit-now i see the nfl is disavowing having seen the video beforehand...

According to Peter King of SI, who wrote the following in July, they did -

>>> There is one other thing I did not write or refer to, and that is the other videotape the NFL and some Ravens officials have seen, from the security camera inside the elevator at the time of the physical altercation between Rice and his fiancée.<<<


He as since backtracked:

If a reporter from SI knew about the tape 2 months ago, how did the NFL "just now" see it. C'mon Man.

How would it be worst?? First Take today said they believed the NFL did not see the 2nd part of the tape before they gave out the suspension. If Rice and his wife went in and lied, how could it possibly be worst??

You must have missed his "talent" all of last year just like the Ravens did.

He is not playing a down of football this year for anyone and is likely finished completely, regardless of what his suspension is/was.

Rumors going around that the Ravens are looking to release Rice. I presume they are trying to do this w/o paying.

As regards to Gordon, he's a repeat offender, 3rd time offense in the program. Now saying that his second offense was codeine which was claimed from cough syrup.

I know...the rules are what they are and he broke them. Don't know if the guy has other problems besides the weed, but in comparison to Rice, it seems pretty insignificant.

Something the majority of people who comment on this subject fail to see.


They should not only give Rice the boot, for good, but fire some other big wigs as well for levying down a suspension w/o seeing this video beforehand.

my comment stands, in that they are kicking a guy for a year for something that barely warrants a ticket these days.
meanwhile, a deep pocketed owner commits felony dui, and gets 6 games. felony assault, two games.
