Here's the sound bite in full where the Ravens head coach says he stands behind his running back in light of the two game suspension the NFL gave Ray Rice after his violation of the league conduct policy.
Rice and his then-fiancee/now wife, Janay, were involved in a physical altercation February 15th at an Atlantic City casino. Rice was shown on surveillance tape from inside the casino physically assaulting Janay and dragging her out of an elevator by her hair.
Rice was charged with aggravated felony assault, but avoided jail time by doing a pre-trial diversion program.
They both met NFL commissioner Roger Goodell four months later at the league office in New York City.
Good to know that you can either smoke something or take something illegal and get a longer suspension than smacking your significant other around and having it seen on video tape.
Fantastic standards to work by...

In case you missed it: Brandon Marshall to Chicago but there is a catch
((ht: nypost.com))
On the surface, it was a trade that made us ((well...ok...me)) say "Huh"? The Miami Dolphins trade their best receiver and one of the best in the NFL to the Chicago Bears for a couple of 3rd round picks.
Yes, Marshall has a somewhat "Shady" reputation due to multiple run-ins with the law.
And he has apparently added to that list.
Today's (Wed.) New York Post reports Marshall was involved in an altercation at a Chelsea (New York City) night club early Sunday morning.
The report says he is accused of hitting a woman in the eye.
This is an issue because he is already in trouble with the NFL for past indiscretions, most involving domestic violence with his wife.
The Post's story on the arrest is RIGHT HERE
Now...
Both the Dolphins and Bears claim they were aware of this incident. We and many other outlets don't necessarily believe that.
The incident opens Marshall up to suspension due to the NFL's Player Personal Conduct Policy since he is a repeat offender. That could mean the Bears would be without him for a few games. And if the Dolphins knew and the Bears didn't...well, we find that fairly amusing.
