    Two games for Ray Rice for knocking his wife out cold.

    This won't go over well.

    Full credit to the Deadspin poster who wrote this.

    [Ray and Janay Rice walk into the commissioners office to find Goodell sitting in a large ornate chair]

    Goodell: Ray, as it stands, I am prepared to suspend you for the entire NFL season. In order for me to shorten the suspension, I would need a VERY compelling argument.

    Rice: Well, Janay and I had a lot of discussions prior to the incident, and we ultimately decided things would be a lot easier if we both got dementia at the same time.

    Justin Blackmon got popped for possession in Oklahoma of the cannabis variation.

    That may be all she wrote - three strikes. Stinks, when he played, the Jaguars were actually okay. Don't know whether he's just stupid, or if these suspensions and laws against marijuana are decrepit and tired. I guess both.

    Did Rice ever suffer any legal consequences?

    He pleaded No Contest. I think he got community service as a result.

    Also Washington cancelled all their training camp activities for the day in Richmond as a result of severe weather (including possible tornadoes)

    So misleading.

    You have to fail a bunch of drug tests to get the mandatory 4 game suspension, that is what happened with Josh Gordon.

    And it only takes a single punch to knock a ***** out. :)

    Plus, Gordon did get a DWI, which I believe also factored into his suspension.

    DWI is a higher crime than weed IMO. So I can see that.

    I'm trying to put into words how I feel about Ray Rice's suspension that won't get me banned, but I can't right now.

    Overpaying for reliability is not always a bad thing. He's not a gamebreaker, but he's a damn good receiver.

    Most Jags "fans" watch the game on TV anyway.

    Gotta hand it to Shad Khan, he's figured out Florida. Hot tubs, booze, cabannas, and giant TVs.

    Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays have enjoyed one of the best 5-6 year stretches in recent baseball history, while playing in a brick **** house, and nobody shows up.

    Florida sports fans. College football, nothing else matters.

    Exactly. And really baseball in Florida was always all about Spring Training. Combine that with the large amount of retirees who took their loyalties to their teams in the North down with them, and you get the empty stadiums in Tampa and Miami. The Marlins at least have won a couple World Series, but even that hasn't drawn the fans.

    Maybe if the Marlins didn't hold firesales everytime the won World Series.... (and have some of their players **** on their fans for not showing up)

    I don't care if it makes the Jags money, or is a "cool" thing to have in a stadium, there's something inherently pathetic about it: you want that kind of experience while watching football? Stay home, or go to an actual beach.

    Agree with the neckbeard do I. That stuff is more conducive to a baseball game.

    Niners lost Kendall Hunter for the season yesterday, and LaMichael James was just carted off at practice. And then there were three - Lattimore, Gore, Hyde.
