Commissioner Roger Goodell handed down the ban based on "new video evidence that became available today." In other words, the NFL is insisting that they never saw the elevator video until it went viral Monday morning. Rice's career was already on thin ice as it's unlikely any team would take the PR hit that comes with signing him, and now he'll have to apply for reinstatement even if a team does want him. The smart money is on Rice never playing another snap in the NFL.
I'd be willing to bet the NFL had seen the video before. TMZ said they'd prove it.
