supremebve Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Well for the people who apparently thought they would support Ray Rice, maybe the TMZ video of the Atlantic City hotel elevator might change things. But I doubt it We were having a conversation at work about how we would take our girlfriends out of an elevator if she was passed out drunk. He basically did the exact opposite of what any of us described. Could you imagine laying your girlfriend face down on the floor of a public building? I can't claim to know all the facts of this case, but the lack of care he treated her with in that video is more than troubling. I'm a fairly strong guy who is roughly the same size as Ray Rice, and I couldn't see myself putting my girlfriend down at all, let alone laying her face down and kicking(or nudging with his foot as some people have described it) her foot out of the door so the elevator could close. He just seemed so casual and so careless about it. Considering there's apparently video of him punching her, all of this conjecture feels more futile. I agree, but we were just commenting on how little care he seemed to have for a woman he asked to marry him. I wouldn't treat a woman who I met that night that thoughtlessly. I don't even need to see the video of him actually hitting her to understand that there is a much bigger problem going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 PFT has a report that per multiple league sources - the Browns and Niners had a deal in place this offseason that would have given the rights to Jim Harbaugh to the Browns for multiple draft picks. It fell through when Harbaugh decided he didnt want to leave San Fran Unnamed Niners sources are saying that is bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yeah - there have been many stories now about Harbaugh and Baalke measuring dicks. I hope for their sake, they remember what it was like before Harbaugh arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Joe Bussell is a former Tampa ops guy who runs a site called NFL Philosophy. It's gained some traction in football circles. He tweeted that the alleged deal made no sense and must be baloneyium, only get later tweet that he was deluged with messages from folks he trusts saying that San Fran had indeed worked on a trade with the Brownies Trust who you like EDIT: Mort chimed in that it wasn't just true - it was damn true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muhammedboehm Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Oh lord the ESPN bottom line thing as a scroll didn't catch who said it but that the NFL might have a rule next year that would be an auto 15 yard penalty any time a player used the N-Word on the field and an auto ejection for the second use.

E.J. Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 What an awful rule. Without derailing this thread into "LOCKED" territory, what's next? 15 yards for trash talking? Then we'd have to hear Jim Nantz and Marv Albert awkwardly dance around what the penalty is for. But hey, I guess there aren't enough rules in the game already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipGofern Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I like the rule. In fact, they should expand it to include 15 yards for ethnic slurs. Oh, right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ian Rapoport just said on the NFL Network that he thinks the NY Jets are a "realistic landing site" for Michael Vick. That the Jets will bring him in to push Geno Smith and be a mentor for him, basically telling Smith "Don't do what Michael Vick did" and getting playing time.

caley Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The best part was Chris Rose flipping out because "Don't the Jets worry that they'll alienate their young QB, much the same way they did with Tebow!" before one of the other guys said basically "Smith wasn't a Top 5 pick, a first round pick, and if he can't handle this, then they'll just cut ties." You would think with how upset Rose was, they were talking about bringing in Michael Vick to mentor Joe Montana or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm not sure how the hell Michael Vick can mentor ANYBODY. Geno's problem is reading defenses and throwing shitty passes into coverages he shouldn't be throwing into. Vick's done that his entire career. If you want to teach him how to toss more interceptions, Mark Sanchez is already around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Micheal Vick" and "mentor" being used even on the same page hurts my face. Like the mere notion of them near each other causes me physical distress, even if it's by accident. Like repelling magnetic fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he could teach him that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
