Hardy settled. That is what a reasonble person believes. You can claim he didn't. You can claim we didn't land on the moon too.....I can't actually prove it to you either But with Voth reporting Hardy is done. I'll leave the posting in this thread to you

Bills have one of the best fronts in all the NFL...and that was before Rex arrived Hardy would be a poor investment there

They handled Rice wrong and it all snow balled. If the Rice/Peterson things never happened.....they most likely would have let Hardy's case play out and he he plays all season. Rice's case clearly from the start wasn't your standard 2 people making some poor decisions with some light line crossing you often see in domestic disputes But NFL went down the road they went and the media frenzy was what it was.....so now Hardy gets punished. Media and public plays there part in how the NFL acts

Settlements in domestic violence cases aren't uncommon

You do realize civil settlements are legal and routine?

Both are his employers....but I'm not sure why bother answering your questions when you dodge direct ones. and in regards to your Hardy should be shot type response....that is nonsense. Thinking Hardy will get around a 2 game suspension can't be linked to that type stance/bias unless you are just being irrational. I don't think Hardy is worth any risk at this point and I thought he was a risky player before the tag last year. All legit reports are our FO basically has thought similar....

I'm sure Richardson and the other owners will make sure they aren't stuck paying players millions on some obscure list again this offseason..... People are so fixated on the players.....all of who had various degrees of putting themselves in the position to be on it "being punished"....when it was the teams who got screwed. I could easily argue how Rivera was punished more than Hardy. That pick chunk of his cap being removed was a huge handicap for him as a HC.

It is definately a weird thing...not sure dusting that off really did anyone a favor.

But it was all wierd. Court didn't demand immediate something. NFL appealed. I know the list allows certain communication that Peterson and his agent need to have that they couldn't if the appeal places AP in a suspensed status I just haven't read anyone credible report otherwise in regards to consent.

If he wasn't on the list what would his current status be? There are lots of quirky rules.

Why is that your determining factor?

Did you just try to compare...eh...nevermind. Even I won't tangle with that logic

NFL players have to consent and agree to be placed on it. They can resist if they want. Hardy believed that was his best option. I'm just stating fact about the list He likely agreed to it bc it secured him a paid vacation instead of facing you know.....punsihment of losing game day checks.

You have to be able to start with that simple question though to really talk about Hardy at this point. Sure it gets much more complicated than a simple question....but people at this point are acting like the NFL has no right to discipline employees unless they have the backing of a court

NFL can fine or suspend you and your name never even be brought up in a court of law. People seem to try to blur the outcome of a court scenario must some how dictate if he has or hasn't done something that his employer deems punishable. They aren't the same

I'll try this one more time.... Can your employer discipline you....if you have not legally been convicted of something? Or charged with a legal crime? Yes or no. Simple question

A long paid vacation you consent to isn't punishment.... Asinine to think? If it was asinine to think Hardy would have already been reinstated and told to keep kraken

Admission of guilt has nothing to do with what we are talking about.... NFL doesn't need that

So your employer can't discipline you for actions unless you are found guilty in a court of law.....which is essentially your arguement. That is disproven everyday, in every profession

Hardy isn't the same. Ray Rice was punished. NFL tried to do it twice. Hardy never had the initial punishment

Again, the NFL can't just put players on the list. It is a mutual thing. Hardy and his agent agreed to be put on the list. They didn't have to be on it

m Second time of what? A rumor? As far as Hardy....prosecutors in court weren't claiming they "thought" the chick agreed to a settlement. The State had reliable info on it. So let's not act like it is some mystery yet to be solved....and she was uncooperative as she toured the country with her settlement money. But it is bed time for me

NFL never could prove Big Ben paid off those girls....and again he never even saw a charge he had to defend

So you know Big Ben paid off girls....despite never being charged with a crime. But with Hardy it is a great unknown? That is pretty selective.... Riley example was simply illustrating there really is no point being fixated on court rulings and legal matters. NFL Code of conduct is what matters on if a player will be punished

McDonald would have had to agree to be on it. So the degree his team was really behind him isn't really known. Leading up to this year, the universal policy was teams really stayed out of stuff until stuff played out.
