Implications of the Rice Decision

Will Be interesting to see what teams show interest in a "wife" beater and if any do what if any outcry is heard from the fan base. Sports fans are well known for looking the other way when it comes to people who play for "their" team.

Ray Rice will be a Bronco , this league is about winning and their running back situation is not good. I think he will play this season for someone. The NFL needs to stop with their BS commercials.

a fair question since nobody actually asked you. Are you against an 18 game season ? Or games in London ? I am in favor of both because I hate long boring offseason waiting and the idea of extra football to me is wonderful and I would love to hear a counter argument I'm really not interested in fighting but I am asking you since the other fellow believes you are against it

I'm against the 18 game season because honestly, even as a fan, the season is long enough. More to the point, since the new CBA was implemented guys have been getting injured at the drop of a hat. Extra games just makes that worse.

Also against a team in London largely because the players hate the idea (as they do the 18 game season). Heck, it's bad enough for guys to have to relocate now, and then some move wherever and wind up cut. Imagine if that involved moving overseas. Plus right now it's a novelty. Not sure it'd work full time like the NFL thinks it will. And of course there's the 'oversaturation' argument (the League doesn't need to get any bigger).

Less so against the idea of a team in L.A., but don't care much for that idea either. I know the NFL wants it but the people of L.A. are largely indifferent. I wonder what makes the League think an idea that's failed twice already will work now.

Any bad teams have no reason to sign Rice this year, and good teams won't want to ruin what they've built by signing Rice and turning their team into a circus.

I expect some team to give Rice a shot in the offseason after the zealots have moved on to a new crusade.

Just one man's opinion though. An unresolved Hardy situation during free agency is what intrigues me though.
