    The law is pretty clear on domestic abuse. PETA kills thousands of dogs a year legally.

    Read my statement again because you're only seeing what you want to see. I said REPEATED killing/abuse of animals. Pet would have to be plural. And in Vick's case it was 20+, probably more. I'm not saying 1 or 2 animal killings is worse than one KO, but 30!?!

    No... you are still stupid.

    Lets try it this way. Would you rather some kill 30 dogs or upper cut and knockout your mom or wife or daughter?

    I will give you a hint.... if you still think the dogs are more important, then you are not fit to be a parent or a spouse.

    He wears glasses now. That trumps him having a blood soaked white suit from a murder he was involved in.

    I don't look at ray or Vick as monsters. But you really think vick's crime was worst than ray's??? In my honest opinion I think Vick did time for the gambling part rather than the dog fighting. If there was no money involved Vick would have got a slap on the wrist

    I don't think Ray Rice will be suspended for more than this year. People tend to forget things quickly. He'll bounce back on his feet. Hopefully the Texans have a shot at signing him.

    Would this shock anyone?

    The NFL has historically treated their players worse than animals. They knew that their gear caused injuries and they refused to change it.... they knew and encouraged the use of narcotics so players could play without missing as many games..... they knew that players used steroids and they didn't do anything about it..... they lied about the concussions and they have swept domestic abuse under the rug.... hell they got hard on pot only because white people didn't like the idea of a bunch of black young men getting high.

    I would be shocked if he ever gets another nfl carry. Not saying he doesn't deserve it but I think he's officially on that blackball list.

    Ray Rice is one of the most beloved players in the NFL by his peers. He will be back in the NFL guaranteed.

    Harbaugh:


    Had a chance after seeing video this morning, had a meeting, not long and made a decision to release Ray. That's what we did. Had a chance to talk with Ray and Ozzie after we did it. Nothing but hope and good will for Ray and Janay.

    What was it like to see the video?

    Something we saw for the first time today, all of us. It changed things of course.

    Misled in any way?

    Don't want to get into that. I don't think of it that way. We'll always support them as a couple. That won't change.

    Why the first time today?

    I have no answer to that.

    Backfield going forward?

    What we've had so far. The guys we have. Excited about our offense.

    How did it change?

    Don't want to get into details. It's obvious. We'll leave it at that.

    NFL see it the first time today?

    No understanding or knowledge of any of that.

    ...

    When someone you care about does wrong and is faced with the consequences, it is tough. My pain is for them as a couple. I hope they can make it work. Talking to Ray up until he was suspended, it seemed like they were working hard. I'm praying they can make it through. If my wife and I can help in any way, we will.

    Ray's reaction?

    I'd rather not share. More personal.

    Why not sooner?

    (Video) It wasn't made available.

    Tone of the building?

    The team responds the way everyone responds. More challenging when it's someone part of your family.

    Why did the video change the reaction?

    I don't want to get into that. Easy for someone to understand how that goes.

    Timing of video release?

    Timing is the timing that it is. We have no control over it. It will not impact us football wise. We'll be ready Thursday.

    Financial implications discussed?

    Certainly. Everything is discussed. Again, it was not a long meeting.

    RB Thursday?

    Justin Forsett & Bernard Pierce.

    just watched the coach speak... u know, i get it, you dont want to get into details but he just seemed to take everything too lightly. He wont gain any fans for his comments, thats for sure.

    He's definitely not beloved anymore...he wont be on an NFL team for a long, long time...and by then, he wont have the ability to play at a high level. His days are over, teams will avoid him like they avoided TO, Ochocinco, etc...

    Yeah, that's the thing to emphasize. No wonder your user name is Mr. Brightside and not Mr. Bright.
