Whoopi: 'If you hit a man, don't be surprised if he hits back'
Growing up, I was always taught that no matter how angry someone got, violence was not an acceptable solution. Beyond that, as a young lady, I was also told that you should never raise your hand to a man because they may not have been brought up the same set of values. Which brings us again to the discussion of Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice, and the incident involving his wife Janay...
Oh Look, Fans Cheered Ray Rice At Training Camp, Then The Ravens Shared The Video
It’s pretty amazing how poorly the Ravens have continued to publicly handle Ray Rice’s domestic assault against his then-fiancee during a night out in an Atlantic City casino back in Feburary. Earlier this summer, they held an awful press conference to address the incident and accompanied it with some of the worst social media handling you’ll ever witness. Then, the team...

Will Torrey Smith make the Baltimore Ravens pay top dollar?
Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Torrey Smith is looking to cash in on his success from his time in Baltimore. Nearing the beginning of the preseason, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Ozzie Newsome have made clear they would like to keep the former Terrapin in Maryland.

Ray Rice returns, gets a huge ovation from Baltimore Ravens fans
Ray Rice might not be the most popular human being in the country right now, but in Baltimore he is still beloved, if yesterday’s practice is any indication.
According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, when Rice was shown on the video screen at the stadium, the crowd of 28,000 gave him a rousing round of applause.
At the #Ravens stadium practice, the big screen showed Ray Rice racing...
NFL's attempt to explain Rice suspension less than convincing
The National Football League has some of the highest-paid public relations personnel in the United States. This is one of the primary reasons that it has been able to skirt some major issues in the past as it relates to how the public perceives the league. Unfortunately for the league, the two-game suspension Ray Rice received for assaulting his now wife Janay Palmer earlier this...
Ray Rice Cheered Loudly at Ravens Practice
It isn’t my job to tell you how to feel about Ray Rice, but at some point we are just talking in circles. If you never want to support Ray Rice again and will only see him as a wife beater that is fine. If you want to forgive him and believe it was just an isolated incident that is also fine.
Rice is going to be cheered, booed and heckled. Try to respect people’s opinion on...
NFL dropped the ball on Ray Rice punishment
Baltimore Ravens all-pro running back Ray Rice will not be spending any time in jail for aggravated assault on his then fiancée Jaynay Palmer. Allowed by the court to enter a plea of not guilty and apply for a program for first-time offenders, it may clear him of charges in as few as six months. Not a bad deal, considering he knocked her out cold and was caught on tape dragging...
Ray Rice doesn’t appeal suspension, fine
There are plenty of people who felt that the league did not impose the proper discipline on Ravens running back Ray Rice last week when they suspended him for two games and fined him an additional game check from the 2013 season in response to Rice’s February arrest for assaulting his wife and subsequent entry into a pre-trial diversion program.
The reaction of those people, most...

Stephen A. Smith Released An Apology For His Poorly-Worded Thoughts On Ray Rice
Getty Image
Professional debate embracer Stephen A. Smith caught the wrath of Twitter – and especially his ESPN colleague Michelle Beadle — last week after one of his many generally confusing rants on First Take, this time regarding Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice’s two-game suspension. Despite what he may or may not have intended to say, Smith was a man who clearly...
Stephen A. Smith apologizes for domestic violence comments
ESPN’s first statement on the controversy that has enveloped the network after Stephen A. Smith’s comments on domestic violence amounted to an advertisement for Monday’s First Take. There the network said, Smith would address the controversy in full. Monday’s First Take opened with what appeared to be a taped apology from Smith on set alone with Cari Champion. After Smith...
Report: Rice’s wife pleaded with Goodell for light punishment
Ray Rice has been suspended for the first two games of the regular season for his involvement in a domestic violence incident with his wife Janay Palmer at a casino over the winter. Given that the public was shown a video of Rice dragging an unconscious Palmer out of an elevator and police reportedly had […]
Will Hill “looks like a linebacker, moves like a safety”; “a true star in the making”
When the Ravens signed former Giants safety Will HIll, there were some eyebrows raised.
Given the timing of the announcement, and the Ravens facing so much public scrutiny due to their players’ transgressions, it seemed questionable that the team would sign a player who is already slated to miss the first six games of the season.
But, perhaps the above information only further...
Ray Rice, The Sandlot, and Misogyny
We’d like to thank our guest writer, Melissa Ganginis, for the following article:
I love the 1993 classic, “The Sandlot.” You love fantasy football value.
I watched “The Sandlot” 88 times last week while on vacation. My nephews could not get enough of this movie and they watched it seemingly on a loop for 96 consecutive hours. The movie, for those unfamiliar with...
Ravens enter full-contact stage of 2014 TC with optimism and relief…
The relief for Ravens fans is nobody got beat up too badly in the first full-contact practice sessions. The optimism is about how Joe Flacco seems to have grasped the new offensive system installed by OC Gary Kubiak.
Another point of optimism— Ricky Wagner has looked pretty good so far at right tackle—and he’s been going up against Elvis Dumervil, arguably still one of the...
Baltimore Ravens: Why to watch Terrence Brooks during training camp
The Baltimore Ravens selected Terrence Brooks from Florida State as a third-round pick in the 2014 draft. They also grabbed former St. Louis Ram Darian Stewart, so Brooks will have to stand out as a star rookie in order to clutch the free safety job.
Matt Elam started 15 games as a free safety last year, but he might move to strong safety. The Ravens recently signed free agent Will...
Baltimore Ravens attempt to rehabilitate Ray Rice’s reputation

Entering final year of deal, contract a secondary thought for Ravens' Torrey Smith
Torrey Smith appeared carefree and relaxed as he shrugged his shoulders each time his contract status was broached last week.
The former Maryland wide receiver's expressions and body language revealed no signs of stress. He's a man assured of his future.

Ray Rice’s Wife Pleaded With Commish Not to Ruin His Career & Image
As Stephen A. Smith found out you better be very careful about how you choose your words when it comes to domestic violence. You can’t go around victim blaming and it was clear Rice KOed his wife, but what if the victim is the one doing the campaigning that the punishment should be light?
According to MMQB and New York Post that is exactly happened in this case.
