  - That's a nice song, too. -- nm - David Nov 6, 10:19
- now you are just trolling. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:10 10
  - Live and Let Die > Obladi or Hey Jude - David Nov 6, 10:18 8

      - Come on, I was being serious. -- nm - David Nov 6, 10:32 2
        
        Just when we think we've plumbed the final depths of DLC, you go and pull something like this. -- nm - TWuG Nov 6, 10:35 1
        
        By praising Live and Let Die, generally regarded as the best Bond theme song? - David Nov 6, 10:41

- wait--the NFL had this info and the pictures? - ML Nov 6, 10:13 11
  - Rog never looked at them, though. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 10:44
  - Even with that, unless you have pictures of it happening, when the 'victim' accepts money and refuses to talk, there isn't much anyone else can do. - GregW Nov 6, 10:20 8
    - this is true for a court of law, but not necessarily for the NFL. -- nm - gravy Nov 6, 10:24 2
      - That is why he got the 4-game suspension. -- nm - GregW Nov 6, 10:28 1
        
        yes, but originally Rice only got 2 games and the backlash from the video ended up getting him fully suspended. - gravy Nov 6, 10:40
    - I want to say something about the victims taking money but I don't know what to say - Pippy Nov 6, 10:24 1
      - Yeah, I am in the same spot. She still chose to take the money knowing what would happen (nothing) afterward. -- nm - GregW Nov 6, 10:26
    - the NFL doesn't need that. Ray Rice's wife wasn't testifying against him but he got a year thanks to the video -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 10:22 2
      - Exactly. There is no video in this case. Pictures of bruises mean nothing without a story to explain them. -- nm - GregW Nov 6, 10:25 1
        
        but they had all her statements too where she said repeatedly "he was going to kill me" -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 10:27
