Robjr83 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 What good ever happens at a casino... Usually these things happen a week before training camp.
oldno82 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Does this mean a 4 game suspension to start the next season? Aargh!
ForceEight Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Doesn't sound like quite as big of a deal as it might seem, but what an idiot nevertheless.
ravinmaniac52 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 He was released on his own recognizance due to the fact that he's no longer a threat to run. 2
RavenMad Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 He was released on his own recognizance due to the fact that he's no longer a threat to run. I see what you did there
GrubberRaven Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Guess we have to wait for Rice to make a statement, but his boy scout image is taking a hit as of late.
Geronimo Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 How could Rice do this, this is the worse possible thing anyone in the history of football could ever do, cut this man now! the hell with the cap hit, we can't have this man on our team.
cravnravn Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 There will be no backpedaling from this, of all places not to have a fight, a casino. Cameras are everywhere.
dc. Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Early police report pretty much describes he and his girlfriend/fiance(?) getting into it a bit at the casino. Lots of speculation from there that's not worth figuring out. I'm sure we'll see video eventually. Best hope is that charges are dropped on both parties as a 'domestic dispute' - but who knows what else could follow?
tsylvester Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 police reports are open, supposedly rice slapped his girl in the face, either before or after she slapped him.... cameras tell the truth... i do think this will be made to go away and nothing more will come of it. even so, hitting a woman, no matter the reason, not good...
colincac Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I don't see this as that big of a deal, a drunk domestic dispute at a Casino is not that huge... However, definitely not the start to Ray's offseason that I was hoping for.

According to his attorney, Andrew Alperstein, the couple was at Revel Casino on Atlantic City's boardwalk when they engaged in what he called a "very minor physical altercation." They were detained by police and released. Rice hired a Philadelphia-area attorney, Michael Diamondstein, to represent him in this matter. Diamondstein told the Baltimore Sun that the charges against the couple have not yet been released. "We haven’t seen any charging documents yet,” Diamondstein said. “There was an argument that included Ray. I can’t give any specifics because we haven’t seen the document yet.” However, Deadspin alleges that the incident between the couple was more violent. "According to our tipster, though, word at the Revel early Saturday morning was that a woman—presumably the fiancée—had spit on Rice and that in retaliation, he uppercut her, knocking her completely unconscious," they wrote on Sunday night. Neither the Atlantic City police nor Revel Security have offered comment on the situation, but the Ravens issued this statement. "We are aware of the Friday night situation with Ray Rice and his fiancee. We have spoken with Ray, and know that they returned home together after being detained," said Chad Steele, the Ravens' director of public relations. The 2014 season will be the third year of Rice's five-year, $35 million deal. He struggled both with injury and to find his place in the Ravens' offense last season, averaging a career-worst 3.08 yards per carry. UPDATE (10:44 p.m.): Atlantic City police released the incident report. Both Rice and his fiancee, Janay Palmer, were charged with simple assault after surveillance footage showed them striking each other with their hands.
cravnravn Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I hope the part where he uppercut her and knocked her out are not true
tsylvester Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I hope the part where he uppercut her and knocked her out are not true It is false, you can see part of the truth there in their own article where the report states she hit him and he hit her on video. Had she been nocked out or even down, the police report would have noted it, which it did not. Also, by law, a medic unit would have to have been called had she lost conscousness....
oldno82 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Disgusting behavior for a guy that I used to admire before this. 1
vmax Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 He was released on his own recognizance due to the fact that he's no longer a threat to run. It said on facebook that he tried to out run the police but was caught after 2.9 yards.
Tornado700 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 By the time court is scheduled, they will have kissed and made up. Both alleged victims would have to testify against each other. Both will refuse and the state will nol prosse (dismiss)the case.
Geronimo Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 It said on facebook that he tried to out run the police but was caught after 2.9 yards.lmao!
cravnravn Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 This is really going to hurt him, didn't he have a campaign against bullying? No he goes and bullies a woman. I can't see how his head will be into football with this hanging over him. Conduct detrimental to the team might be a loophole for the Ravens to get out the contract?
papasmurfbell Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Most likely no susp but in this NFL you never know.
thesteelhurtin Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 By the time court is scheduled, they will have kissed and made up. Both alleged victims would have to testify against each other. Both will refuse and the state will nol prosse (dismiss)the case.not true my buddy had to call the cops to calm his wife down who was hitting him. The cops arrested her after he said he wasn't pressing charges and the cops response was well the state wants to. He has testified for her but it did no good. In this case there is video evidence so it doesn't matter if they talk ior not.

vmax Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I want to wait until the video leaks out, but right now he's not looking too good.I definitely think he has head problems. He's not the squeaky clean guy that he tried to make us believe he is.
