"This new footage from the elevator, newly released to the public and which I reviewed prior, was the basis for my decision on the 2-game suspension. It is clear that this punishment was over the top, and on further reflection I hereby rescind it entirely. We need more men of character like this, it was clear he was trying to de-escalate the situation.
Accordingly, I hereby (and well within my authority as NFL Commisioner) authorize the Baltimore Ravens (one of the finest teams to ever take the field, I may add), to expand their salary cap and urge them to use that to reward Mr. Rice for de-escalating what might have otherwise turned into a really nasty situation.
A two-game suspension is more than enough for this, a non-infraction unlike what that sc*M QB did in Georgia with that poor defenseless college student some years ago.
No questions will be entertained here, this is an FYI news conference only.
Carry on."
