Rumor: Dez Bryant "Ray Rice-style" video coming out

If we're giving up picks for a guy who got acquitted then the Panthers and Pats may want to close up shop after the Rae Carruth/Aaron Hernandez situations.

Er, OJ is in prison as we speak.

Minor detail but OJ's thing happened more than a decade after he retired FROM THE 49ers! Or does NFL stand for 'Nanny for Life'?

Of course he is in prison for a different, even later offense.

But this does bring up a point: hypothetically, if OJ had been accused during his career, how does the league handle it? It is not due process to consider him guilty until proven so, there is no tape of him doing anything and he was ultimately acquitted (no comment on the merits of that). Frankly, a suspension based on merely being arrested appears to be a denial of due process. This really creates some heavy questions for the NFL in these cases. So what standard should be applied? It will be interesting to watch.

He beat women up & loaded up with Cocaine when he played, everybody did it & it was a different time.

A half-hour primer in a meeting room at the beginning of training camp every season with a PSA film on domestic violence and a list of private counselors available if they feel the need handed out to all of the players and every team in the league has their ass covered.

Yea but not for what everybody thinks of.

[Night Train]

Well...where is it ?

With Fez getting tagged today, and still no video, I'd say this is a non-story.

Some one who read it all the way. I agree its not so bad like that, but what "properly addressed is" needs to be clearly defined.

I also agree with the other posters this is more of a PR move though.

So do the Cowboys have to add the money they paid to keep the video out of sight to the cap or nah?
