Janay Palmer's Dad?

The other man in Ray Rice's interview with Matt Lauer today, seemed a man in real pain, suffering
real grief. Maybe he felt an pang of the destruction he could suffer if this Ray Rice turns out to be an
O.J. Simpson.
During Ray Rice's speeches, the man looked up in the air, rolled his eyes, maybe looked at Mtt Lauer, or fixed his gaze onto Janay's face. I didn't see him look at Mr.Rice even once. I didn't see
Janay return her dad's fixed stare, even briefly.
When Matt Lauer indicated there might not be a possibility that years from now Mr. and Mrs. Rice's
daughter would Google her dad to have his on the field stats be the first thing to po up- finally dad spoke.
He said, "Not at all!" quite audibly on camera.
To me what that father is thinking to present in that way is this: 'All the football in the world can't make you a man.'
Janay's mom: kept very still...kept her face off camera.
Janay seemed compliant, disappointedly compliant.
