Any NFL player who commits an act of domestic violence in the future could be looking at an automatic four to six game suspension. According to the Washington Post, the NFL is considering implementing a new policy that would dole out tougher penalties for domestic violence offenders.

Under the potential new policy, a player would be suspended between four and six weeks for a first time offense. If a player commits a second offense, he would be suspended for an entire year.

Granted, his re-trial will probably start after the season is over, but I wonder if Gettle will see this as an opportunity to get a bargain deal or be done with him after this season.

They were completely different situations.  Hardy is in a he-said she-said debate over a few scratches and minor bruises with a police report siding him.

 

Rice punched out his fiance.  Then dragged her limp body out to the curb. on camera.  Then to make matters worse, she still married him.

 

That last part really infuriates people that are into Women's Rights.

UGHHHHH that woman. The court system is doing a lot of work for this nonsense, and she might be screwing up my football enjoyment this season. Great. Half joking. Half.

 

So hey, you're a dope for saying that. Just thought I would stop in and let you know you said something really dumb. You should try not to do that in the future because then people will think you're dumb.

 

I say the more you can hurt a player for smacking women around, do it. Maybe, just maybe, a player will think twice about that before going all Scarface on his significant other. I don't care if it hurts Greg Hardy. Because the two words already hurt Greg Hardy in the court of public opinion and the real court of law: FOUND GUILTY

 

If the only way you can reach these idiots is by taking game checks and playing time then by all means use that method. This is more cowardly than using PEDs and more intolerable than recreational drugs. It should be reflected in the league's reaction.

 

You got any women in your life you care about? Put her into this situation hypothetically and read your own post again.

Would it be retro active if he should lose? Better make sure he gets the best lawyers he can afford and win this case if he is indeed innocent. A 4 to 6 game suspension would definitely effect his leverage with a new contract.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
