Rice’s decision could come to haunt him
In the world of the National Football League trash talking is everywhere. However, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has taken it too far.
Rice’s college teammate was Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall. The two engaged in a little trash talk, as Mendenhall stated in a text message that he was going to have a big game against the Ravens defense in week four’s Monday Night Football game.
For a former teammate, and most likely now former friend, to turn around, and blab to everyone else is simply just plain bull. Mendenhall most likely would have never sent the message if he knew Rice was going to share it with everyone.
In football there is a thing called trust. It is not given at will it is simply earned. For Rice to turn around and stab a so called friend in the back should even wave red flags to teammates.
What do you think is going to happen if another Raven, and Rice, got into trouble? Rice would go stool pigeon, and rat out the player.
The fact is that there are things that you do not go blabbing around. One of them is something a friend says directly to you.
If Mendenhall wanted the whole Raven squad to know what he said he would of said it in a interview with the media.
Mark my words this will come to bite Rice in the ass some day. Most likely not this week, but sometime down the line.
