Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens Quarterback

"You know, obviously it doesn't paint a good picture of who Ray (Rice) is as a person. But I've played with Ray (Rice) this will be, this would have been the seventh year and sometimes good people make bad decisions and put themselves in a bad light. And really my heart just goes out to him and his family and I hope they get through this as best as they can."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Steve Smith, Sr., Baltimore Ravens Wide Receiver

"Well honestly, what's happened over the last several days has, is happening all across the country. And so yes, my foundation, we deal with domestic violence and my mom is a survivor of domestic violence. And so I'll say this and this will be my only statement about it, is I don't condone what someone has done but also I'm not going to be the judge and the jury. That's my my role. That's not my place. God is the only person that is going to deal with that and I'm not going to do that. Unfortunately we live in a glass bowl and that's where it is and at times it's unfair. And it puts us in awkward situations and allows things to go where they went. And like I said, I don't condone it but I'm not going to condemn because that's not my place. And I don't think it's anybody's place and yet people want to do it. So I'm going to take my opinion out of it because it's not up to me and it's not my place to say. And I don't care what stance you're going, there's no justification because at some point we all done things that we hope that does not played out in front of cameras."
