There are myriad talking points connected with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Rashee Rice and a looming suspension. The potential length of the suspension, the timing of when it's handed out, the insane mechanics behind how and when the NFL decides such things—it all makes for interesting discussion.
But therein lies the thing that perhaps matters most: That the NFL is intent on fueling such discussion.
Other spaces have been reserved for debating various aspects of Rice's punishment, but this is not it. Instead, it's important for someone to note how much the league thrives off of the cloud of confusion that comes with the outcome for any player who gets in trouble—including the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver.
