Over the past year and a half, Ray Rice has had to deal with the consequences of his domestic altercation with his then fiancee, Janay. The couple, now married, have a daughter and while on Thursday’s episode of “The Dan Patrick Show,” the former Baltimore Ravens running back talked about his family life since the incident, including the inevitable conversation he’ll need to have with his daughter.
“I have a daughter, and I couldn’t imagine that happening to my daughter. And that’s my lifelong journey for her to raise her the right way, to make her understand that daddy made the worst decision of my life, and to protect her from that.
“The moment is going to have to come when I have to speak to her… she still asks about football, and I still have to craft enough responses to help her understand why I’m not playing. I’m not ready to have that talk with her yet, but when she gets old enough…
“She knows how to use the iPad and the tablet, and I would hate for her to learn how to type in my name and the first thing that comes up is the video without having me to explain it to her…”
Ray Rice is also holding on to dreams of returning to the NFL soon. “I do want to play football again and I’m not ready to give up,” said Rice. Rice said he told his agent to call him only when an offer is real. He said he had hoped to get a chance some time ago. “I thought early in the year,” Rice said. “I would have loved to be in a training camp, learn an offense and things like that.”
