For a corporation that has rolled back their sleeves and work diligently to clean up their public perception over the years, the NFL just can't seem to catch a break.

What I will say about Rice is this, he has served his time. Not in the jail cell based on the charges being dropped but his life has changed dramatically since 2014 and it may never be the same
