Hey NFL Players, If You Want a Mini Two Game Vacation Just Beat the Shit Out of Your Wife, It’s All Good
Goodell – The NFL has suspended Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice for the first two games of this season, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The suspension is expected to be announced Thursday, sources told Schefter.
Rice allegedly struck his then-fiancée unconscious in February in Atlantic City, N.J. His legal situation was wrapped up on May 20, when he was accepted into a pretrial intervention program to avoid trial on aggravated assault charges. Rice then met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on June 16.
Hell of a precedent for Roger Goodell to set. Forget about the suspensions for smoking weed. Are they dumb? Absolutely, but it is illegal, so if you’re smoking it and get caught you’re kind of a moron. But two games for beating your wife? And let’s drop the “allegedly” talk. I know it’s a legal term and you have to use it but when you have Ray Rice on video dragging his future wife by the hair while she lays lifeless on the ground I think allegedly can be thrown out the goddamn window. I have no doubt that if Ray Rice wasn’t a popular figure in the NFL he would’ve gotten a lot more games, but that’s just the way Goodell rolls. Support the midget wife beaters at all costs, and just suspend the substance abusers for as many games as you can because they’re obviously trash. What a piece of shit. I hate Roger Goodell with the fire of a thousand suns. But I hate Ray Rice more.

I can see why people dislike Jim Harbaugh, but I absolutely love the guy. HIs baseball glove tour just reinforces that love. The best picture has to be from the San Francisco Giants, where he’s clearly sitting behind home plate, behind the protective netting, making it impossible for him to catch a foul ball. Doesn’t matter. When Jim Harbaugh goes to a baseball game he brings his mitt. He could be sitting behind protective netting or in the first row of the bleachers, if he’s in the house, so is his glove. There’s also not a doubt in my mind that nothing is stopping Jim Harbaugh from getting a foul ball. If the ball is hit in his section all he sees are seams: women, children, the elderly; just another hurdle to overcome. I don’t care if the 49ers ever win another game, I just want the Jim Harbaugh baseball glove tour to continue forever.

So Warren Sapp is a Jackass
BOY – Warren Sapp was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on Tuesday.
The Hall of Fame defensive tackle was outed on Twitter for not leaving a tip for a 26-year-old waitress after watching the U.S. vs. Belgium World Cup game at Upper Deck Sports Bar and Grill in Miami.
The bill cost $69.39, but Sapp wrote on it “boys don’t tip,” after the waitress called Sapp and his friend “boys.”
Sapp defended his actions on Twitter, also adding that the service was indeed poor.
“She kept calling us boys so the tip Fit!” Sapp tweeted.
“I left it was horrible and the service was the worst,” he added.
The waitress, who is only going by Corey, spoke with WINZ-AM in Miami to give her side of the story.
Corey added she did not think calling them “boys” was offensive.
“It’d just be [like] if I went up to a table of girls, I’d say ‘hey girls’–or ‘hey ladies.’”

I think it’s time to face the music, Warren. You weren’t mad this waitress called you and your friend “boys”. You weren’t mad at the service. You’re broke. You’ve been broke. Yet you still want to go out and have some beers and spend money like an ex NFL player should, except you’re an idiot and don’t have any money left. Usually when waitresses or whoever put receipts online it’s unnecessary, but I’m glad this got out. Warren Sapp had all this “swag” when he was a player and exudes the same “confidence” as an analyst. I call false bravado if you can’t tip a waitress on a $60 check. I think it’s time for Warren to go “college kid”: ramen noodles, cold pasta and hot pockets. At least then he’d be putting his money where his mouth is.

Some People Think Lavonte David Doesn’t Deserve #35 on The NFL Top 100 List
#NFLTop100 Lavonte David doesn’t even deserve to be in the top 100 #thetruthhurts

It’s kind of funny that the FIRST TEAM ALL-PRO LINEBACKER, that got #35 on the top 100 players list, didn’t make the Pro Bowl. Oh well, next year buddy.
Congrats, Lavonte! Can’t wait for you and McCoy to DOMINATE this year! Go Bucs!
Rob Gronkowski’s Off Season Rehab Seems to Be Going Well
I love Gronkowski. He’s the only tolerable member of the Patriots that non Patriot’s fans can root for. But if I were a Pats fan, I’d be a little upset with him. Athletes can do whatever they want in the off season. Is it ideal that they train and stay in shape and try to get smarter and stronger? Sure. But if a professional athlete wants to blow off some steam and go to Vegas for a few weeks and get drunk and party with porn stars who are we to tell him no? As long as they’re ready to perform when the season starts, I’m OK with it. The only problem with Gronkowski is that he’s the largest human ever who is apparently made entirely of glass. He had back surgery in college, and has dealt with serious ankle, forearm and now knee issues. Maybe dominating comedy shows and bench pressing comedians is the magical formula. My bet is on Belichick letting him go after the 2014 season.

Brandon Marshall Just Gained a New Fan And I Pledge Not to Draft Him in Fantasy So His Career Doesn’t End Horribly

Good for you, Brandon Marshall. Genuine good guy move right here, and I’m so impressed by this that I vow not to draft him in fantasy football this year. Two things happen to players I draft: they get hurt, or they suck so bad you kind of wished they were hurt. I won’t put that hex on you, Brandon. You’re welcome.

Browns GM Says They Will Not Start Johnny Football Week 1
Everything i’ve heard out of the Browns facility since the draft is that Manziel is their backup QB. I respond with…
Listen, I understand where the Browns front office is coming from, they don’t want Johnny to end up like every other Browns QB over the past 14 years, but I just don’t believe it. You know the old saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” Well I am convinced that saying was made specifically for the Browns.
In the NFL I know 3 things to be true:
1. Roger Goodell is an evil super villain bent on ruining the game I love.
2. The Buccaneers ALWAYS look good on paper, but never in real life.
3. The Browns will fuck up any talent they ever have on their roster.
