Okay you folks of the she started it persuasion, also the it's their business not our's school of thought, and jump on board ye of the group known as I met him and he's such a nice guy experience. Gather round all of you 27's and supporters of the same and answer silly old me one question. What was that going on after…

The ump called the first one right IMO. Stanton swung. It is unfortunate he was hit, but that was a strike. Johnson, though. I don't know what Kellog had running through his head there. He could argue that there was a swing, and that it was a foul ball, that the ball never hit his hand, and it was a foul ball, or that…

Some secretary is about to to jump on the grenade, get a 5 million dollar golden parachute, sign a confidentiality agreement, blow through the 5 mill in a year, and come out that she did INDEED show the vid to Goodell on a very special episode of Oprah. Book it!!

Ozzie Newsome: "You know. Ray had given a story to John [Harbaugh] and I. And what we saw on the video was what Ray said. Ray didn't lie to me. He didn't lie to me."

NFL on line 1.....

"Oh, THAT tape? We thought it was from the Pats, so we burned it."

These fucking idiots are ALL awful. Fuck Peter King, fuck the NFL, fuck Roger Gooddell, fuck the Ravens, fuck Rice's lawyer, fuck Steve Smith, fuck Schefter, fuck Harbaugh, fuck everyone who defended Ray Rice and/or tried to pin some of the blame on Janay, and most of all, fuck Ray Motherfucking Rice.

+1,000,000

Seems like Rice is cooked.
