Report: Ray Rice Tape Sent to NFL Security Chief

HeadlineSep 26, 2014

The Associated Press has named the National Football League official who was sent a video back in April that showed Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice punching his then-fiancée in a casino elevator. An unnamed law enforcement official said the tape was sent to NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller, and that he received a voicemail confirming its receipt. Miller, however, claims he never received the tape. The NFL has repeatedly said it did not see the video until it was released publicly by TMZ this month, at which point Rice was indefinitely suspended. Meanwhile, ESPN writer Bill Simmons has been suspended for three weeks after accusing NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell of lying about his knowledge of what was on the tape.
