I'm doing a round the clock on-call deal again for the time being and trying to keep myself awake half the time. If you'd corrected me, I'd probably have figured you were right and apologized. Or, tossed you one of these: 
..... Hard to say.
It would be something if your senior moment turns out to be a psychic vision -- Peterson gets reactivated, the Vikings pass on him, and the Ravens pick him up to replace Rice. Crazy -- but crazy shit happens every day.
I think Rice has a decent claim against the NFL for punishing him twice for the same infraction -- even if Goodell never saw the video before deciding the initial penalty. If the Rices didn't outright lie to him (or nobody can prove they did), it looks like Goodell just caved to public pressure rather than having gained additional evidence to support the axing.
If the judge does rule in Rice's favor, most of the analysts don't seem to think anyone will pick him up this season, but maybe for 2015.
Do you think any team would touch him next year if he's eligible?
