I am a tremendous sports fan. This is why I started this site. Of course I am also a human being. I love the NFL. I look forward every year for the start of a new season. And as I type this blog we are headed for the start of another NFL season.

And here in Seattle our Seahawks are favorite to return to the Super Bowl. I watch the NFL Network all year long just like I watch NBA TV. I like baseball but am unhappy with the lack of African Americans on the field and off. But readers I have a question. Should former running back Ray Rice be given a second chance to play in the NFL?

Of course Rice was seen on tape in a argument with his wife Renee and he strikes her and dragged her out a elevator. The video was shocking of course and still is truth be told. And after all the talk on social media and on news and sports programs about why Renee is staying with Rice.

Is it because of his money and fame? She has said she stayed with Ray because he loves him. She has said she doesn’t need Rice but she truly loves Rice. They have a child together. Here is another question ladies and gentlemen.

Should a NFL team give Ray Rice another chance to play football in the NFL? Former NFL QB Boomer Esiason says Rice should be given a second chance to play running back again. I was shocked that Boomer said what he said concerning Rice playing again but he did say it. And I am happy Boomer said it.

Because I also feel Ray Rice should play again for a NFL team. But what team will take a chance on Rice. First of all the team that picks up Rice they will have to deal with the negative feedback from folks who do not want to give Rice another chance. Also if you check Ray Rice stats as a running back right before his problems his stats was heading downhill.

But let’s keep it real readers. Ray Rice could possibly help a team in the NFL. He is a vet who knows how to run the ball. He once was one the best backs in the NFL. His last team was the Baltimore Ravens.

So again sports fans I agree with former star NFL QB and now sports radio host on NY’s WFAN Boomer Esiason that Ray Rice should be given another chance to play in the NFL. He has served his dues. America is or should be a country of second chances. What team will give Rice a chance to play again? We will see.
