CRIMINAL and CIVIL courts are TWO completely different things. 

Come on now.... 

We have already established the CRIMINAL GRAND JURY declined to INDICT WATSON.  He had 25 sexual assault CIVIL charges against him. 

Rice has EXACTLY ZERO CRIMINAL charges assigned by the District Attorney.  Rice does have CIVIL charges and has a DECEMBER court date. 

 

the legal standard is different for criminal and civil cases as well.

for a criminal case, you are convicted if you are considered 100% without a doubt guilty.   then you go to jail.

in a civil case if the odds are better than 50-50 that you were a victim you likely get a settlement.

This is a $$$ grab - AGAIN.  She's "trying her case" via social media / the public.  Is it any wonder .. 80% of dudes are just avoiding women PERIOD??

its possible.

these things are so hard to determine with the amount of info we have at our fingertips.   we likely have no more than 20% of the info that the authorities have to comb through on the matter.

how much of this is on Rashee I dont know.   

 

in cases like this.....

sometimes its a case where the guy is innocent but keeps putting himself in situations that look bad with a person who is morally questionable. 

sometimes it is a case where he is guilty and tries to make it look that way

its very hard for someone on the sideline like us to make a call on this.  but I'd bet money that someone close to the situation knows.   but they likely are not talking.

Seems this is always the situation.

Also - Why do you capitalize Rashee's name mid-sentence but not capitalize the first worst of every sentence?

Some news on the Rashee Rice front. Sounds like he won't be facing any suspension from the most recent accusations against him...

Guessing the NFL found out the girlfriend lied.

well, they figured she at the very least was not credible as a witness.

if she was drunk or something on the night the alleged incident happened good luck proving anything.

like I said earlier in the thread.  we have so little actual information everything we say is just guesswork.

but the important thing at this point is hes not gonna be suspended unless something really damaging comes out.

but I do think if he has another 'incident' the odds of anything questionable going his way is slim.

Yeah, it's probably more accurate to say that she wasn't a credible witness.  I think you're right on this.

He already was dealing with other legal trouble. She probably was seeking a cash grab type scenario. Hmm, I wonder what fully happened. I am watching a YouTube cops video about a love triangle right now. It is interesting. I wonder if anyone gets arrested.

These situations are always hard to prove.   the majority of domestic violence happens with alcohol and/or drugs involved and when it comes to proving things, the testimony of someone who was snot hanging drunk really doesnt cut the mustard.    that sort of thing is really hard to prove.  and if the couple reconcile afterwards as they often do, then you have an unwilling witness (who in this case could easily have been bought off to say whatever) and suddenly the case goes away.

 

Not saying thats what happened here, but in cases where the perp has money thats often how things end up for purposes of keeping the person out of jail.

but I'd not go so far as to say hes fully innocent as none of the so called evidence is public.   the reality is we dont know and its also possible it is a gold digger situation.

Not saying that possibility is off the table either.   or some combination of the two.

Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is in trouble with the law again.

Rice has been ordered to spend 30 days in jail for violating his probation after he tested positive for THC, according to KSHB 41 in Kansas City.

Dallas County Jail records say Rice was booked this afternoon. If he remains in jail for the next 30 days, he will miss all of the Chiefs’ Organized Team Activities, and their mandatory minicamp.

 

[Ray_T]

interesting...

I thought Cannabis was legal in Kansas city.

so I'm surprised they would make this a condition of his probation.

though I guess they make conditions such as avoiding alcohol a condition of some so I guess this is fair game.

ah, that explains it.

Texas is a totally different story.

they are a lot less THC friendly than other states

Man, imagine if these guys with that rare blend of size, speed, coordination, skill, toughness could match it up with the mentality of a professional.  

There's just this whole swath of potentially amazing players that filter themselves out because they can't act right.

i dont get it either.

if I thought I could make it as a pro player, I wouldnt drink, do drugs.  nothing of that sort.   I'd be focused on winning and making myself better so I can make a living doing something I truly love.

There is nothing better than that.    you can do the partying later.

but some players just dont get that.

That's a tough statement to stand behind, if you where good enough to make it on the nfl, you might not think like you do now, so, I would like to hope that i wouldn't, but I wouldn't be who I am now, so that's impossible to answer with all truth

Rice has to be the dumbest SOB alive

There’s another problem related to his incarceration. Via Adam Schefter of ESPN, Rice underwent knee surgery last week. While behind bars, he’ll be unable to engage in rehab.

Per the report, Rice didn’t know he’d be sentenced for violating probation at the time he had the procedure.

The surgery removed loose debris that was causing inflammation in the knee Rice injured early in the 2024 season. He served a six-game suspension to start the 2025 season, after pleading guilty to charges arising from a March 2024 street-racing incident in Dallas.

 

[Mike FF Today]

Rice also had a clean-up procedure on his knee...

 

[weepaws]

LOL, he's a Chief  

 

[gridiron whirlwinds]

This guy's NFL career is going to be pretty short.

[Maximum Overkill]

He dodged a suspension last time, not this time. 

[TBayXXXVII]

From what I heard on the Fantasy Sports channel this morning, they don't think anything is likely to come of this unless his THC level is beyond the NFL's threshold.  Apparently, that level is exceptionally high and is unlikely that Rice exceeded it.

well, there is no question he is pushing the Envelope.

Pretty sure one more violation and they will throw the book at him.   but we shall see.

from what I can tell with respect to suspensions, hes been pretty lucky so far.   but It wouldnt surprise me if the league looked into what level he tested for on the THC.

though its legal in a lot of jurisdictions now and not performance enhancing.  so the NFL may need to look into their drug policy with respect to THC.

anyhow, that is not our problem per se.

I'm mostly concerned with whether hes playing and what level he will play.   I had him as a possible keeper in one of my leagues, but now debating the merits of keeping him.

Knee procedure that will keep him out a bit, Mahomes possibly missing parts of the early season and wont likely be scrambling his first few games.   so he essentially becomes a drop back passer.   hes capable of playing that way, but wont be putting up those wondrous plays at the end of a scramble because there is no scrambling for him (not this year anyway)

might be a writeoff of a year for KC players but I'll reserve judgement for now.   if any KC homers know something I dont, I'd like to hear what you have to say on this.

[Ray_T]

fyi also did a check.  Rice missed the last 2 games of the season last year with a grade 3 concussion.

Thats pretty bad.

bad enough that I'd add that to the laundry list of concerns surrounding this guy

[weepaws]

He's a player that's tough to rank, with all the off field stuff, next He's going to go A Brown  

[Maximum Overkill]

He's an absolute stud, IF he can get himself right. He'd have to fall a bit for me to take shot. I trust the talent, but I don't trust him even a little.

yep. 

hes the ultimate boom/bust player.

but with Mahomes likely out the first part of the year (or at least playing at less than 100%) he might be a guy to pass on for this year unless you can get him cheap

 

 

[Maximum Overkill]

This Chiefs-Eagles trade for A.J. Brown would let KC finally cut bait with Rashee Rice

Kansas City can move on from its troubled wideout once and for all.

For different reasons, Rice is similar to what I said about Nabers.

He’s not necessarily on my DND list, but I just don’t think he’ll drop far enough for me to consider it.  In 12 team redraft he’s a 2nd round talent, but I wouldn’t take him until the 6th or so.  Someone will take him before that.

Thats the whole thing.

its rare that I'll put a player on my DND list.  but I rank my players based on risk and upside.  and the risk with him is fairly substantial.   

and with Mahomes injury it could mean a significant impact to his numbers even if Mahomes plays.

Between injuries to him and his starting QB and off field issues (he hasnt been on the field nearly enough).   and now it looks like hes gonna be in jail 30 days and now has decided to have a procedure done for medical reasons.   not sure why he didnt do this at the start of the offseason.    maybe the thought was that they could rehab it without a surgery.

Either way,

lots of risk here.   

I actually have the option to keep him in my keeper league and I think there is a fair chance I'll let him go even though I do really like his talent

[Maximum Overkill]

His price is going to plummet in dynasty leagues. Will the Chiefs even resign him? He's in the final year of a deal. Is he getting suspended, is he healthy, will he be traded, etc?

I don't love the long term outlook for Rice. If I was a Dynasty Manager I'd be looking for any way out of that mess. 

His current Dynasty value in non Superflex is an early 2027 2nd round pick up to a late first which I find absurd. There's just too many concerns IMO. 

[makindollaz]

He’s not quite there yet, but almost entering Josh Gordon territory.  Insanely talented, but enough reasons to stay away.

That's actually a great comp. He could be well on his way.
