BREAKING NEWS – Atlantic City, New Jersey – A law enforcement official says he sent a video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive five months ago, while league executives have insisted they didn’t see the violent images until this week. The person played the Associated Press a 12-second voice mail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: “You’re right. It’s terrible.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell now acknowledges that the NFL received the video in April, but he maintains that he did not watch it until this week, because he was waiting for technicians to convert it to HD and put it in surround sound.
