98 Rock just reported probation no jail. Anger Mang and other things required. He has to comeback to court so they see progress.

Ravens RB Ray Rice offered deal in assault case

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) - Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has been offered a plea bargain that would spare him jail time if he participates in anger management counseling.

But it might not even get that far for Rice, who is charged with aggravated assault stemming from a February incident with his then-girlfriend in an Atlantic City casino elevator.

Rice applied for New Jersey's pretrial intervention program, which allows first-time offenders to have charges against them dismissed after participating in the program and meeting certain conditions.

The county prosecutor will decide whether Rice is allowed to enter the program.

Rice pleaded not guilty Thursday. He arrived at court holding hands with the woman, who is now his wife.

I may have misunderstood 98 Rock or they had the wrong info.

2 game suspension likely, entering the program is, essentially, admitting guit according to the NFL

[papasmurfbell]

Oh yeah. The vid we saw gets him 2 games at least.

The NFL doesn't even need that. The ginger dictator suspends who he wants when he wants.

That depends on the situation. In this case, it falls under the rules of conduct detrimental. In this case, max four games, min, if he takes the deal, 2 games. Now, were he to go to trial and be convicted, then likely 6-8 games. On the field he has more sawy with the rules, that is the difference.

Sounds like 4 games to me. The video TMZ published was pretty disturbing and we haven't even seen the elevator video.

[tsylvester]

Rice will have a press conference tomorrow, Friday, at noon...

Lets hope this whole ordeal becomes a "rite of passage" for Ray. He might respond like Ray Ray after his trial in 1999/2000.

He played with a sense of purpose and urgency the whole season. Maybe Rice follows suit. Hell, what has he got to lose ?

This case is now closed, unless Ray violates the agreement. Therefore, we are not going to see the elevator video. At first, I always said 4 game suspension but think now that it will be 2 games. (and big games at that)

I still say 4 games, Goodell doesnt have a soft spot just because its "Ray Rice"

[ravinmaniac52]

Wait till we see what they trained them to say today. Never know. Rice was good guy for a long time. Always doing the right things.

 

Besides, if he gets nothing it will piss the rest of the fans off.

[oldno82]

I think it's going to 4 games.

[varaven45]

My $ is on 4 games. Goodell will lay down the hammer on Rice.

Anyone see Rice's presser? "You know when get knocked down you just got to get back up", "let me check that I hit all my notes"... was a comedian writing his lines? Sticking puns in there.

When I heard that I must say I laughed.

Report: Ravens preparing for RB Ray Rice to miss at least three games

 

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24571229/report-ravens-preparing-for-rb-ray-rice-to-miss-at-least-3-games

 

The Ravens are preparing for Rice to miss at least three games, according to ESPN.com, meaning the number could be even higher.

[papasmurfbell]

I figure 4. It could be helpful for him to be more rested.

[oldno82]

This will be Lorenzo Taliaferro's big chance. So we should know quickly how good he is.

I think that press conference made the situation worse and the live tweets were an epic fail. I know the chick had something to do with it but why in the hell would you tweet her apology furthermore why would you have her apologize at all. Like i said yes she had something to do with it but the average fan doesnt know that and legally speaking she is the victim. He isn't the only one that does it but I can't stand when a guy just stands there and reads word for word from his notes. Have notes thats fine but dont just read straight from them at least try and memorize it. No matter where you are coming from it sounds and looks fake when you do that. I have said I think RIce is a good guy who probably got caught up in the moment and did something stupid it happens as long as he learns and grows from it he will be alright.

 

Edit I'm not blaming the presser on RIce that falls on the Ravens PR department. They really dropped the ball on this and should have never been live tweeting in the first place to me that leaves a lot of room from error while rushing to get the news out there.

I agree.

Normally Byrne does a much better job. I am sure he is in spin mode now trying to fix yesterday.
