It was all part of the same Outside the Lines report. The email news wasn't broken 20 minutes before the Harbaugh news, they were broken and posted at the same time.

Yeah, I'm sure every stand-up coach that wanted a player cut but didn't get his wish quit on the spot.
Assuming that report of him wanting Rice cut is true, of course.
So you're telling me this guy was involved in some bad shit?
Inconceivable.
The ravens knew.
He went on TV and yet he knew.
This is insane
Nah they probably go out and give a big press conference saying how great a guy he is and how he stands by him 100%.
Steve Bisciotti is the worst there is, the worst there was, and the worst there ever will be.

I got my ass handed to me by the Niners, 40-3. Pryor was so bad that I had to reject your trade. He's so terrible that not even Megatron could help my offence
He looks like he would toss you in a trunk break your legs then toss you in a shallow grave mafia style.

He looks like a mobster, but not even the cool Goodfellas style mobsters. He looks like the kind of mobster that lives in Buffalo, NY and launders his money through a furniture store business.
Following the boss' orders. /shrug
Obviously would have been impressive if he quit on the spot if he felt that strongly about it, but he's not the first NFL coach to stick to the company message and won't be the last.
Wouldn't that require his wife pressing charges?

Everyone from or associated with Baltimore is a scumbag
But the Wire is magnificent.
Just proves how sadly fixated we as a society are on celebrities, but only as far as it affects what they do for a living.
Look at the things maniacs like Russel Crowe and Mel Gibson do, yet the only talk is about how it will affect their movie careers.
No. Pressing charges is a movie myth.
This is highlighting a great point that could generate significant discussion on a key social problem: should this be required?
But no. Let's get another shot of people returning Rice jerseys.

And all the people on it are horrible
Yeah its usually way easier to be a coward. Guess we should give him props!
:jnc every coach that wasn't also a GM is probably a coward by that metric.
The law gives him the option to do the treatment program. It's how the law is setup. You can't change the law as fast as you can change an NFL suspension.

Steve Bisciotti offered Ray Rice a job the day he cut him for punching his wife's lights out. This is how Ray Lewis gets a statue. #Ravens
Burn the organization down
Deal offered to Rice is very rarely offered
Begs the question of preferential treatment.

Peterson just posted on twitter that he requested for a polygraph test.

Like who?
:jnc @ that reply "you're a fucking moron."
That's big talk for a Floridian
Anyone that wanted a roster change but couldn't get it because the GM overruled them...so every coach that wasn't a GM.

The fuck does he need a Polygraph test for?
He's already admitted that he beat his kid's (kids') ass, took joy in beating his kid's (kids') ass, made sure that he drew blood before he stopped beating his kid's (kids') ass.

Says the Texan
One, single solitary news story about this is more important to cover than the sum of everything else covered so far.
But idiotic mob justice makes for better TV!
I don't understand what you're arguing. There were four men in a position of power within the Ravens organization. Only one of the men wanted a wife abuser immediately cut and the three other men overruled him. I do think that's worthy of the slightest amount of praise.
Harbaugh was forced to deliver the press conference and publicly support Rice. He lied then and you could call him a hypocrite, but the alternative is for him to quit his million dollar paying dream job. Maybe I'm not bring harsh enough on him for publicly supporting Rice but in the grand scheme of this story and the calculated covering up of a domestic violence incident, I'm willing to offer praise to the one person who would have done the right thing and immediately tried to resolve the issue if he was able to.
Still better than flordia

Nah. Far more racists then Florida. Far more.
If Harbaugh would have walked away I could pretty much GUARANTEE he would be offered another million dollar job almost immediately.
I'm not saying he wasn't offered preferential treatment based on his status, but after talking to a couple of friends that are lawyers in NJ that report is apparently bullshit. There's the obvious flaws (they count every single domestic abuse arrest, even though that program would obviously never be offered to a repeat offender) and the not so obvious ones (they do it for the entire state of New Jersey, when that PTI program may only be offered in the county Rice was arrested in and not others in the state).
The cowardice is going out and saying he stands 100% behind a guy who beat the fuck out of his girlfriend.
Outside of his brother, I can't think of anyone.
He doesn't have to quit. Just refuse to make the statement. Worst case scenario he is fired and gets paid fully while also getting to explain why he was fired. Its a no lose position.
I think his wanting Rice cut is probably bullshit, his agent just places rumors well.
Not saying he's an angel, but I'm not going to lump him in with the owner, etc. who actually had the power to make the call with respect to Rice's presence on the roster.
Just a shitty situation all around.
As a Texan and a Hispanic I can say that I've only once been discriminated against openly. That was about 18 years ago too.
Just saying. lol Don't mean much in the end.

Did he really just hash tag #noweapon? So is he saying he caused all those cuts and bruises by hand?
Salt an vinegar are the best.
