Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, despite being an NFL player, has never attended an NFL game in his life; the irony in this is that according to the Associated Press, Rice will get his first-ever start at RB for the Ravens when they face the New England Patriots Thursday night. Rice was drafted by the Ravens from Rutgers, where he rushed for a school-record 4,926 yards in 3 seasons with the Scarlet Knights. Rice got the start due to a knee injury to incumbent Willis McGahee.
