Jason La Canfora ?@JasonLaCanfora 37s NFLPA makes formal announcement that it has filed an appeal in the Ray Rice case

A hearing date on Rice's appeal - based on evidence being long available and no dual punishment for 1 incident - must be set within 10 days


Does he have a case?

Seems any arbitrator worth a frick wouldn't allow a person of power to punish someone twice for the same offense

I don't know if he has a "case" but they certainly have a point.

Possibly but the NFLPA has to do this just from the harshness of the penalty

He absolutely has a case. Goodell screwed the pooch on this when he initially tried to cover it up.

He will likely win, as I bet he can prove Goodell was well aware of what happened and him changing his punishment in the middle of his sentence violates something within the bargaining agreement.

Yes. If he can prove the NFL had substantial knowledge of what happened in the elevator he will win. NFL will likely try to settle with him for 8 games to avoid losing the appeal.

NFL can reinstate. Does not matter. There is not a team that will sign him. So he will not have a job.

Question would be how it may affect what Baltimore May or May not owe him under his contract when they cut him.

I was wondering when they were finally going to do this.

And I was wondering if crazy people were going to get mad at the NFLPA for doing their job.

Why did NFL suspend Rice indefinitely? Couldn't Ravens cutting him and Rice then ending up on the black list have averted this PR nightmare?

All it did was add fuel to the fire in my estimate.
