Ray Rice had an All-Star Weekend to forget. He was arrested for allegedly striking his fiancee, Janay A. Palmer, at Revel, an Atlantic City entertainment club, on Saturday morning.

Deadspin's sources say the couple was in good spirits when things got a bit rough between the two. An account says Rice's fiancee spat on him before he retaliated with an uppercut. The Baltimore running back was charged, arrested, and released, while Palmer was also charged with assault as she also struck him with her hands. Rice's attorney Andrew Alperstein described this as a "very minor physical altercation," but regardless of severity, this is not a good look.
