NFL Rumors: Ozzie Newsome Testifies Ray Rice Told Roger Goodell About Hitting Fiancee
Pat Lovell-USA TODAY Sports
Ray Rice‘s appeal hearing is now in the books. While we wait for an official ruling on the RB’s future, there’s plenty of speculation to go around. One interesting tidbit emerging from the two-day hearing is that Baltimore Ravens‘ GM Ozzie Newsome allegedly testified that Rice told Roger Goodell the whole truth about the infamous elevator incident. Long story short — according to Newsome, Goodell knew that Rice punched his then fianee in the face the entire time.
“Details of what Rice and his wife testified to Thursday and what Goodell said Wednesday were not released to “Outside the Lines” because of a gag order that Jones imposed. But sources said Newsome backed Rice’s previous accounts of what he told Goodell. Goodell spent the majority of his time testifying under cross-examination by outside union attorney Jeffrey Kessler, sources said.”
Goodell of course has denied knowing exactly what went down in the elevator until he saw the tape months later.
Someone is guilty of not telling the whole truth. Hopefully, that person will finally be exposed in the near future.
