The No. 1 topic when it comes to the NFL these days is domestic violence. The No. 2 topic is football. Because of that reality we had a real meta moment this morning when Ray Rice, a guy whose suspension was lengthened when video of him punching his then-fiancee out cold was unearthed, took to SportsCenter and commented on the recently revealed Greg Hardy abuse photos. Rice, who sounds like he's spoken to a PR exec. or two, told anchor Hannah Storm:
Furthermore, speaking on his own/similar experience:
Unlike Hardy, Rice no longer appears to have a skill desired by NFL teams, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry the last season he played. This is likely the reason he remains unsigned by an NFL team Jerry Jones, a fact he appears to have accepted, saying "If I never get the chance to play again, one thing I know is taking care of my family, I'm safe and secure in that."
