When I saw that the Ravens had named Ray Rice as tomorrow’s Legend of the Game, I had to take a moment to pause and soak in the announcement. I wondered if this was really a good idea.
None of us will ever forget the video of Rice knocking out his then fiancé, now wife Janay, in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino. Most of us will remember how the incident placed a black-eye on the face of a franchise that previously carried a pristine reputation, particularly when it appeared to the public that there was some form of cover up orchestrated by the organization.
