ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

[Cutz]

I can see how no matter how good a player he is, Rice might be too big a liability for another team based on what you posted (not to mention potential negative fan reaction).

It'll be a curious situation. The Eagles had a similar situation in Vick after his prison term. Huge negative fan reaction for the team, but it was a "rehab, second chance" situation. With Rice, the fact that he didn't go to prison will make that angle a much harder PR sell for a team. "He's completed his intervention program" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Nike has cut all ties to Ray Rice & the Ravens are offering a jersey exchange. Y'all will recall that the Patriots did that when Aaron was arrested & charged.

That's actually cool. I didn't know about either of them.

I feel sorry for them in that they have violence problems in their relationship. I don't feel sorry that Ray Ray lost his job... It's a privilege to play in the NFL. 'Deserving' players, especially running backs, get cut ALL THE TIME for off the field issues. It's not something being taken away from him... nobody deserves to play in the NFL. He's talented and has performed well, but he's not the first or last that a team will cut ties with. Hopefully he saved some of his millions.
