Gin and Juice

You are free to not suffer the penalty of a crime you did not commit! Your wife goes bat crap crazy, you do nothing and cops arrest you on her false statements and it makes the news. You are charged but in a trial, jurors discover she is bat crap crazy and find you not guilty. You employer fires you stating that because you had a negative press incident....how long before you are rich? Now, you blab all over tv cameras that twinkies was the cause of the negative incident and you work at hostess, then yes, they got grounds to fire you based on defamation

The NFL is not above the law! Now, if you do something that can be proven and tarnishes the NFL brand, they can take action whether illegal or legal

That then becomes discrimination

That then becomes discrimination

No they can't! You can make a physical part of employment, a background check, or drug test. If nothing comes up on background check then they can't ask you about it. If physical misses a problem, then they can't ask you about it. If you pass the drug test, they can't demand you confess to being dirty, even if you are

Not allowing him to play while having fulfilled his obligation on conduct would be discrimination. NFL trying to pry out info that is a sealed judicial document is a violation of rights

The settlement can not be viewed by the NFL unless Hardy and Holder agree to share. Settlements are sealed if formal! Other than that, she may have just not shown up and it's common sense that something happened to settle the case, which we and the NFL will never know about

Franchise tag only benefits the team! It's a players worst nightmare

Hmmm.....no conviction, unknown civil settlement that could have been as simple as "I'm sorry." Nor does the NFL have the right to know. With no conviction, we have no crime! Other than public awareness of the case....it's really like it never happened. Nothing to investigate. Franchised player that committed no crime was placed on the exempt list for 15 games and the NFL still wants to review this, WHY?

Think about as if you were in Hardy's shoes? You spent 4 years watching others make big, guaranteed money and now it's your turn! Your team only guarantees you 13mil and you know you could be signing for 50mil guaranteed. You get hurt(god forbid a career ended) or hold out and your value plummets. Essentially, you and your hard work is now being held hostage! Are you not going to try and evacuate that situation? There is no honor among a sport that uses you up physically....you get every gawd dam dime you possibly can! Use your unbiased mind. You will get it!

But then odds would be he would have to play under the tag! And worse, it was supposedly admitted "rental"

I saw this playing out about 15min after guilty verdict of first hearing! The one where Nicole showed up 2 hrs late! Wait till the pics! Wait till Greg quits giving Nicole money! Truth will come out

Live by the sword, die by the sword! No suitable long term deal offered after June 15th. Drew and Hardy were looking for an out.

Grievance for what? We paid 13mil for 1 sack

Sadly, the only victim here is the Panthers organization

And are you starting to see how Hardy and Drew laughed at the Franchise tag all the way to the bank?

Worst part, his agent helped negotiate his way onto the exempt list

She will be found and soon! It's as obvious as Greg winning the appeal

And assets protected

He just seized an opportunity of benefit! If he couldn't get a long term deal and his franchise tag was an admitted "rental" then he has to try something to protect is assets, which is his ability to play football at a high level at a position of incredible demand

Oddly, I can't disagree! However, after a journalist finds her and photos of her and Hardy together are released......I want mad pie. It's coming! Phase 3 is on the horizon

No, that would be what Holder thinks she is

She was paid off after the first trial! She had fulfilled her first obligation and will get the remaining amount after photos and press conference the week before FA opens

As is the blind fan boy

She will show up in due time and most likely in a photo with Hardy to get a better sale in FA. "It was just a rough lovers quarrel"!, she will say. The will kiss and NFL GMs will throw their money at him
