Related: About this forumRay Rice is suspended for 2 games
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/24/rice-suspended-two-games-fined-a-game-check/related/?utm_post=140724_Ray%20Rice%20suspended&utm_source=TW%20-%20NBC%20Sports%20-%20%40NBCSports&utm_network=twitter&utm_tags=The reports regarding the two-game suspension to be imposed on Ravens running back Ray Rice were mostly accurate, but ultimately incomplete. The league has announced that Rice will be suspended two games and also fined an additional game check.
The decision will result in $705,0882 in lost salary for Rice. The Ravens also could try to recover $352,941 of Rices $15 million signing bonus, paid in 2012.

Yay, NFL!
You're the best!

The NFL really makes me sick at times...actually most times as of late.
It's not like they don't have enough proof
Oh and not that I'm condoning Rothlesberger here, but didn't he get 4 games suspension?? Why didn't Ray Rice get the same??

It is seriously ok to hit a woman as long as the state in which you did it decides it's not worth indicting.
Since pot laws are ridiculously intensely enforced in 45 states or so, a pot head can be clearly suspended for year. After all it is a PED. Oh wait!
Ray Rice needs someone as much bigger and stronger than him, as he compared to his now wife, to explain things to him.
Then that same person can show up at an NFL board meeting and "explain" things to them too.

The NFL should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. This constituted less games than Josh Gordon or Suh or Haynesworth. Just disgusting
