Ray Rice gets a joke of a suspension

[legend of polamalu]

Roger strikes again...2 games for knocking his girlfriend out cold and dragging her through an elevator out
into the hotel lobby.

Slap on the wrist.

Ben got what 6 games? For not breaking any laws!!!!

I'm not surprised by this at all. Roger plays his favorites.

pathetic even by godells standards

I believe 100% that the severity of Ben's suspension was primarily the result of two factors.
1. He is a high-profile quarterback
2. He is white

The fact that there were two unsubstantiated allegations levied against him in a relatively short period of time surely influenced Goodell's thinking as well, but I believe it runs a distant 3rd in the decision-making process. This was his chance to show the world that he wasn't going to show preferential treatment to a white guy or star quarterback.

If true, 2 games for Ray Rice is shameful.

Surprised he got anything

[RobinCole]

I'm going to send an e-mail to Goodell's office. Notice I said "office", because he will never see it personally. I know it's a futile exercise but sometimes you just have to vent.

[Slapstick]

He should have been suspended two games for the stupid press conference alone....

You guys keep forgetting that our owners WANTED Ben suspended to send a message.

LOL... that doesn't make any damn sense and you know it.

So smoking some pot twice is 800% worse than knocking a woman out with your fist ON CAMERA?

Good thing he didn't kill her, he might have gotten a 3 game suspension...
