Reports saying Law Enforcement sent Goodell and NFL Rice Video in April

FoxSports.com is now reporting that the NFL and Roger Goodell were sent the Ray Rice video back in April of this year. Although Goodell claimed in an interview this week with CBS that the NFL didn't see the video until this past Monday, new evidence is appearing around the disputing that claim as a lie.

A law enforcement official says he sent a video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive five months ago, while league executives have insisted they didn't see the violent images until this week.

The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: "You're right. It's terrible."

The law enforcement official, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, says he had no further communication with any NFL employee and can't confirm anyone watched the video. The person said they were unauthorized to release the video but shared it unsolicited, because they wanted the NFL to have it before deciding on Rice's punishment.

The NFL has repeatedly said it asked for but could not obtain the video of Rice hitting Janay Palmer -- who is now his wife -- at an Atlantic City casino in February.

The league says it has no record of the video, and no one in the league office had seen it until Monday. When asked about the voicemail on Wednesday, NFL officials repeated their assertion that no league official had seen the video before Monday.
