Ray Rice. What a mess all around. But football goes on, and thank G-d for that. Won both of my Week 1 match-ups in fantasy. Hoping for similar results in Week 2. I also would not mind a similar performance out of my Miami Dolphins and new running back Knowshon Moreno. This week on FORBES: (1) Armonty Bryant Sustains Two Losses: To Pittsburgh Steelers And Former Agent; (2) Will The NFL’s Indefinite Suspension Of Ray Rice Survive Scrutiny?; (3) Legalized Online Gambling Stays On Hold In California; (4) Terry Pegula Should Have To Sell Sports Agency To Buy The Bills; (5) RantSports Releases Fan Stats Social Mobile Sports App; (6) Ray Rice Discipline Brings To Light Poorly Drafted NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement.
