Former Baltimore Raven star Ray Rice was recently kicked off of his team and suspended from the NFL due to footage surfacing of him knocking out his wife, Janay Palmer, in an Atlantic City elevator. While the court of public opinion is tearing down the athlete, Rice has made a statement about that night, claiming that alcohol fueled his rage. Rice admitted that when he drinks hard liquor he becomes "a different person" and has since cleaned up his act, giving up the hard stuff in exchange for wine.
He and wife Janay have also reportedly gotten deep into religion since the February incident, with both of them being baptized in March and becoming born-again Christians. The pair has also reportedly been attending Christian based couples counseling along with some fellow NFL players and their wives.
