New revelations from the Associated Press that indicate that the NFL was provided a copy of the infamous "knockout" video showing Ray Rice inside an elevator assaulting his then-fiance last spring point to a coverup on some level. It's not surprising, given the League's knee-jerk reaction to any scandal: circle the wagons and try to protect the League's image at all costs. Watching the initial video from outside the elevator, where Rice drags the unconscious woman out, and drops her, tells you that she didn't just bump her nose on the elevator buttons. That should have been the only "smoking gun" necessary for the Ravens and the NFL to fire and suspend him, respectively.
BONUS: Still-clueless, shameful dolt and ESPN commentator Stephen A. "The A Is For Asshole" Smith had this comment, referring to the president of the National Organization for Women calling for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's resignation (via Early Lead):
"I'm sorry, I think this woman is off her rocker. I think she's lost her mind."
You may recall The A Is For Asshole had a neanderthal take on the initial news of the Ray Rice assault. Time for him to go where he'd be appreciated: Fox "News."
