Better taking a guy in a deep draft for WR than paying a guy like Crabtree (been mediocre) that kind of money.

I thought you were talking about the fat chick in the pool wearing jeans and a long sleve shirt

Not what anyone is saying. GJ made his point 52 posts ago. He is now being an utter douche.

I understand what you are saying. But, he made his point with the 53 previous quotes that he posted. He had a point at first...now he is just coming across as a douche.

We are still not sure where you stand on this signing. Please post another quote so we can really be sure. We get it...you do not like it. Move on dude. There is nothing in the OT FA market this year. So the choice what a vet OT was Bell or someone like Oher. I will take Oher. I still see OT early in the draft.

Not sure....but we all can agree that you should stop calling him Cpat

Collins scares me....too many comparisons to Barron. And Barron has been a big disappointment

I pay more to have my yard work done than you will ever make in a year....BOY. My 10 yo neighbor running a lemonade stand in his driveway has more business acumen and intelligence than those two lonely little synapses you have firing in that gourd sitting on your shoulders.

What the holy hell are you talking about? You are actually comparing Hardy being paid to sit out and get paid $13M (while traveling, working on his rap album, etc) to someone who is not able to see their wife and kids for a year? Talk about playing WAY out in left field....you are not even in the stadium.

I understand what you are saying and do agree with you to an extent. But, when the punishment would normally be 4-6 games without pay and he got 13 games WITH pay. It is still not much of a punishment at all. Not to mention that he was already playing under the Franchise Tag....which players hate. Always a risk for injury. 13 games off with pay (no risk of injury) is much better than 6 games suspended without pay and then 7 games playing under a 1 year deal. And it is "since"....not "sense".

But you (and others) are refusing to grasp that there was enough evidence for a judge to find him guilty. Even though she did have a conflict of interest and should have recused herself from the trial, the fact that evidence was presented and a judge said guilt IS MORE THAN ENOUGH eveidence for the NFL to take a close look into what was presented.....even though the guilty verdict is superceded by a trial by jury. Is Hardy guilty of everything that Holder accused him of? Probably not. Is Hardy completely innocent and did nothign wrong that night? Probably not. Will he be punished by the league? Very likely....but I am willing to bet it is not 6 games. More likely 2-3.

A year off WITH pay is NOT really a punishment. They told him to either go on the Commissioners List with pay.....or be suspended. Hardy chose the CL.

Exactly..... Post ANYTHING that is remotely embarassing for your employer and your are GONE from you job.

You are dillusional if you think that getting paid $13M to sit at home, travel, and work on your rap album is a "punishment" to Hardy. Get over it.

Panthers were definitely punished......Hardy, not so much.

I am not arguing that she should not have recused herself from the trial....hell, I even made the arguement that she should have when her verdict came down. I am not arguing that her verdict was correct. I am not arguing that Hardy is guilty. I am commenting that based on the vagueness of the "conduct detrimental" wording, the NFL's past history on suspensions without legal charges, the high profile nature of this, and then the fact that a monetary settlement was reached and the witness decided to disappear and not proceed; there is LIKELY enough for the NFL to suspend him under the CBA. How much that suspension will be? I doubt it will be 6 games (as that will likely be challeneged and be a mess). More than likely I think it will be 2-4 games.

you are looking at it from the "facts" standpoint? Son, none of us even know what the facts are. Geesh

In a court of law yes.....but, it is very likely that enough is there for a conduct detrimental suspension by the NFL. Remember....beign found guilty of a crime is NOT required for a suspension as defined under the NFL CBA.

Yet a judge found that there was enough evidence to find him guilty. I am not arguing that he is guilty under the law. Only that based on there being enough there for a judge to find him guilty there would LIKELY be more than enough evidence for Goodell to support a conduct detrimental claim .

You are completely missing the fact that he was PAID for all 13 games that he did not play last year. So NO....he really has NOT been disciplined yet. The NFL needs to get moving and suspend Greg for anywhere from 2-6 games and get this resolved.

DLo is backtracking so quickly it looks like he is moonwalking.

You are 100% correct and I have to believe that this whole thing (interview, comments, etc) was a VERY calculated move by Dlo and his agent. After the bad press on the Smitty release, they took this as a chance to try and make it look like the evil Panthers mistreating another player....as opposed to the release of a 31 yo RB who is injury prone and whose productivity had fallen off big time. Nothing more than this to see here.

Agree 100% with Jeremy...very shocking from JR. I can understand why DWill feels slighted....and I am disappointed in JR and the org (it takes very little to reach out to someone hurting and let them know you care). I am disappointed that JR did not reach out to him directly and I am disappointed that the FO did not attend her funeral. I always reach out to co-workers whom I have known well when something bad happens....it is just common courtesy. And, I have attended many funerals for family members of co-workers who have passed away as a statement to them that we do care. However, DWill dealing with this the way he is doing IS definitely petty. At the end of the day, they are your employer (and it is a business)....they are NOT your family.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Same here. But how sweet would it be if the news were true
