Gin & Juice (Why Roger Goodell & John Harbaugh both need to jump in the ride with Ray Rice)

"C'mon dawg jump in! I'm goin' your way."

Benjamin Carson, the well-known neurosurgeon, once said, “Kids have what I call a built-in hypocrisy antenna that comes up and blocks out what you’re saying when you’re being a hypocrite.” Tennessee Williams, the outstanding playwright, gave it to us like this, “The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!” Then Cristiano Renaldo, the famous Portuguese soccer player, was a G when he said, “Why lie? I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say the opposite of what I think, like some others do.”

So with that bein’ said playboy, I’m gonna put it where the goats can get it. On Monday TMZ dropped the bomb on boyz by releasin’ the Ray Rice video of him knockin’ out his then girlfriend now wife back in February. The joint went viral and everybody and their momma has gone nuts after seein’ it.

Now on some real talk, I was blown away because I thought that because ole girl had been arrested on assault charges after gettin’ knocked out that there had to be a straight up squab on that elevator. My experience of growin' up in the hood told me that if she was charged with assault ole boy must have been defendin' himself but that simply wasn't the case. And I don't wanna hear cats say that it shouldn't EVER matter because Tiger Woods would have had every right to defend himself when his wife came at him with the golf club if he had been strapped in a confined space like a closet or elevator.

So I tried to at least give ole boy the benefit of the doubt but after seein' the video he did in fact turn out to be “Ike freakin' Turner." So now I'm like Snoop Dogg on some Gin and Juice with him, “I had to back up off of him and sit my cup down” playa. The fellas in the barber were willin' to hold him up if he were simply tryin' to defend himself and just caught her with a loose one but after seein' what really happened they're like, “You on your own now pimpin'. Can’t help you with that one! Holla At Ya Boy!”

Like I said a week ago on the Kent Sterling Show on CBS Sports Radio 1430AM, any cat that is “Ike Turner” shouldn’t be in the league at all. As a matter of fact, there’s no place in society for a boy that will walk up on a woman and fire on her. That’s nuts! But what I’m trippin’ on are all the duns out here showin’ out right now includin’ the NFL, John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! This incident happened in February bruh. That was seven months ago! The NFL and the Ravens saw this cat draggin’ his girl out of the elevator unconscious. They talked to the police and don’t tell me that they didn’t see the freakin’ tape either. If the police saw it, then ole Roger and the Ravens saw it too playboy. The NFL is a $9 billion corporation with it's own security force and private investigators and you’re tryin’ to tell me that lil’ ole TMZ got a hold of the joint before they did. In my Ochocinco voice, “Child Please!”

If the NFL is conductin’ an investigation to determine how they're goin’ to discipline a player then they had to have seen the tape. If these cats can find out who potential draft picks are sleepin’ with or whose momma did what when a boy was growin’ up then they saw the tape.

Now these duns wanna show out because the public outcry is deafenin’! The same Ravens that were ridin’ with him after the two game suspension was handed out they cut him and the NFL has suspended him indefinitely. John Harbaugh, the same cat that got on national TV weeks ago with a completely nonchalant attitude about the whole incident is now tellin' boyz that seein' the tape changed things for him. What changed about what Ray told you what he did bruh? I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I grew up in the hood around aggressive people both male and female and I know it ain't always what it seems. But Ray did tell his employer what he did bruh. So he never lied to boyz. So what changed?

Hold on a second dawg! Did the facts of the case change after you viewed the tape? Didn’t ole boy tell you that he fired on her and knocked her out? And when he told you that he did in fact do that you were cool enough with him to support him when the league handed him only a two game suspension right? In no way shape or form am I condonin' Ray's actions playboy. I'm just checkin' the clowns that are actin' like they actually care about domstic violence now that the tape has surfaced and the fans are lookin' at the NFL with the stink eye right now.

After you completely dropped the ball on the initial punishment of this cat you decided to run out and put together a domestic violence policy on the hustle because you got caught with your pants down in the middle of the street. You had a menu of suspensions on everything but that. You could tell a boy how many games he’d get for smokin’ weed, gettin' a DUI, taken Molly’s or PED’s but no domestic violence. Wheredeydodatat? So you told the world that now a boy gets an automatic six game joint at the very least on the first rip and then they’re banned for life on the second.

However, when TMZ rocked you’re boat you freaked out and pulled a double jeopardy on Ray Rice that had already been disciplined by the league, albeit it wasn’t enough, but he had already been punished. So are you gonna go back and punish cats twice for the same crime every time you get the tape of the incident in question? So if you give Ray McDonald of the 49er's who just violated the domestic violence policy three days after the joint was handed out a six game suspension. Then all of a sudden if seven months later the tape of the incident comes out are you gonna suspend him indefinitely or cut him because it just looks worse on tape than it sounded? Just askin' playa?

So when the tape surfaces of Wes Welker actually poppin' the Molly's are you gonna go back and increase his suspension from four games to eight games because it looks worse than it sounds? Help me understand? That's like a boy confessin' to the murder and gettin' 25 years but when the tape actually comes out they re-sentence him to 75 to life. Wheredeydodatat?

Now I would have had more respect for these cats if they had implemented the new domestic violence policy in this case to keep from lookin' completely stupid. However, the Ravens just dove off of the roof butt naked into a bucket of sand and cut him. So are you cuttin’ him because he lied to you about what he did or are you cuttin’ him because TMZ made you look bad? I’m just askin’ again bruh?

Hey Roger? Did you suspend Ray indefinitely because he lied to you or did TMZ pull your hold card and now you’re lookin’ incompetent? In no way am I defendin’ Ray Rice's behavior playboy. I’m just makin’ sure that Ray ain’t the only one out here lookin’ like a sucka and if he needs to be fired then Roger Goodell and John Harbaugh needs to get in the ride with him too so they can all ride off into the sunset together.  And donzmt think for one minute that the NFLPA is gonna sit in the cut and watch y'all double jeoardy a boy. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
