Papa Deuce Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) I'm sorry, but if these teams can't understand the concept of bad PR just from the last few weeks, I guess they never will. http://abcnews.go.co...ory?id=25682920 Though, I guess they can do what they want, but I sure as hell wouldn't do it just from the abuse you will take from protest groups.

Team Archer Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 This could very well happen. Ray Rice will not = Pete Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Deuce Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 If he serves his time why shouldn't he get a second chance? I think the better question is why anybody would want to give him one, especially the Ravens. Too much of a headache, and bad PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) OP..did you read the article..or just the headline? Bisciotti said today that he would consider hiring Rice "five years down the line" to help the team's player development department to counsel the team's young players Edited September 23, 2014 by HowboutthemCowboys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 And you are a fan of the Eagles? Did you have this same stance when they signed Michael Vick? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Deuce Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) And you are a fan of the Eagles? Did you have this same stance when they signed Michael Vick? Not only did I, but I actually "sold" my fanship on ebay for a year for charity. I raised 237 dollars for the SPCA. And I watched the Texans for a year because the winner asked me to. I was on local TV, and was contacted by ESPN to appear but it never happened. Edited September 23, 2014 by Papa Deuce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm a believer in second chances, but I wonder why would the Ravens go out of there way to make this public and take on the bad PR it will include. Or is it only public because Rice brought it up (in reference to being bribed with it) and now the Ravens owner needs to spin it so it doesn't sound as bad. And if they're willing to take him back with a front office job, why have they already stated that he will never play for the Ravens again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Uh... no, not me.... I walked the walk. Wow, so you in fact are no longer a fan of the Eagles right? You did not ever cheer for them once while Vick was on the team correct? I applaud your donation, but perhaps its time to notice the shades of gray between all that black and white.

keggerz Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 James Harrison is back in the NFL...but should he be allowed back in (I'm being sarcastic)? http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/steelers/2014/09/23/steelers-re-sign-james-harrison-face-questions-about-troubled-past/16112301/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustOfBeenDrunk Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I just can't help thinking of another Ray that played for the Ravens after given a 2nd chance , now he has a Ring & many pro-bowls and will being going into the hall of fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Deuce Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 But once the year elapsed you were back to being a Philly fan and supported Vick? Nope. Never supported Vick. In fact, I had a Vick jersey before he was with the Eagles. I threw it away when the story came out... and while I did follow the Eagles after the first year, my heart wasn't in it. You can keep trying to bait me; I did the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you hold the same standard in your personal life too? With everybody you know? They make one mistake and that's it, they are done? Or is this a standard you only apply to people you don't know?

Do you want a sucker or something??? I for one believe people can change and it would make me a very small person if I were to judge what is in their heart after they have paid the consequences for what they did. It would also suck to have to go through life feeling like you have to hate people because of their past.....nah, not for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
