The Greg Hardy thread....for everything Hardy related

[BIGH2001]

In Peterson's case, I am glad it is getting the media attention. People treat child abuse as if it is a family matter until a child is severely injured or killed. Even the laws permit parents to hit their children--but if Peterson had switched an adult, he would be charged with felony assault that day. The child has no voice in the matter. Imagine a 4-year old boy--about 3 feet tall and weighing about 40 pounds---getting beaten repeatedly by a professional athlete who is twice as tall and weighs five times more. Now imagine a 12 foot tall, 1000 lb. muscular giant beating you 40 times with a branch. Same thing.

Agree with Peterson decision. The mistake is lumping hardy in with peterson. Someone who has decision making power needs to start thinking for themselves. The mob mentality is out in full force.

It sucks but Hardy isn't playing for us again this season. We just have to accept that, time for Ealy, Addison, and Frank Alexander to rise up. 

 

Yea hopefully win one for the Gipper kinda thing and we win a SB as the team comes together and get's tighter.  But if Greg's innocent, I'd argue he should be the Gipper?  It was always win one for JR.  I say this because frankly JR has shown no backbone or sense it would seem in regards to this.  He is either getting bullied by NFL office or is an idiot.  Either way, I don't care anymore.  This team just needs to win one for themselves.

 

I'll just speak as a consumer then and try to use ESPN a lot less.  CBSSports website seems pretty reasonable for MSM sports and I can't believe I'm actually saying that.  And unless it's live sports (Duke basketball, big college FB or MNF) it'll be no more ESPN for me.  I'll stick to Dan Patrick Show, even though he kept piling on the Panthers, just in less quantity.  I hear FS1 is a decent alternative to Sportscenter.  And that's saying something because I personally try to avoid anything Rupert Murdoch (not trying to start a political thing here, just stating my preference).

 

This has really rustled my jimmies.

 

edit - weird, it quoted you twice

He's done here whether it be 6 games or 14 games.You think J.R will pay to resign him with this circus going on.Even if he is ruled not guilty I think they are done....divorce upcoming.

[WUnderhill]

The media will come out looking stupid as usual once hardy is found not guilty by the jury. Meanwhile Ray McDonald is still active. As are the steelers running backs. If we are gonna do this then we need to round up everyone who has been arrested and place them on the exempt list.

 

Unfortunately, if Hardy is found not guilty, nobody will care outside of North Carolina. I'd be surprised if the media even reported it. They will stand by their "HE WAS FOUND GUILTY!!11!!!1" chest thumping. I mean, what do they care? They don't have to give the games back to him. And if Carolina loses along the way, all the better, just supports their narratives even more.

just published by USATODAY:

former Panthers, Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Polian:

"The Hardy issue is very clear cut, (and) the league should act under the personal conduct policy. He's been found guilty"

...

"The fact of the matter is, he's been found guilty.

...

"You can make him inactive with pay for as long as you wish," Polian said (Hardy earned $770,000 for not playing last Sunday) ... Or the league could act under the personal conduct policy, which is the whole point of the conduct policy anyway."

...

"It would seem to me that's the principle course. That's why

that program is there."

The amount of misinformation the media is allowing boggles my mind!!!!!!!! Ugh and people think they can believe what there told by the "news" so they become infuriated by the misinformation they are fed! It's like a idiot loop that can't be broken.

The problem is if he's guilty, he's done here.

 

 

As he SHOULD be....

 

That's the way this poo is suppose to work.

 

Innocent until proven guilty, then reaction to the action committed, i.e. CUT...

He may be done here whether he's guilty or innocent. It's useless conjecture at this point. I say drop the appeal, take the verdict, come back and play your ass off in an effort to entice another team to sign you and your stupidity.

SVP and Russillo talking about the mob mentality right now on their radio show.

Saying how they are scared of where it's starting to go and how everyone is out for blood.

Mentioned what if all the Jameis Winston stuff from last year happened now? He probably wouldn't have played the whole season but was found innocent.

Nice finally hearing someone talk about the other side and the madness of the public. It really has gotten out of control.

Apples and oranges, I agree.

I've listened to their show a few times and they seemed somewhat reasonable and not promoting a mob mentality that I'm aware off however their station in general shoulders a LOT of the blame.

Greg Hardy has left #Panthers facility and is expected to join Adrian Peterson on exempt list.

Marty Hurney on Hardy: dangerous to let public opinion & media tell you what to do. Real issue of DV isn't being addressed.

[Swaggasaurus]

This is a sick scenario. Nothing more barbaric than a lynch mob. What about DUI's, serious note. Driving drunk has more negative consequences than punching your boo in the face

The problem is the NFL doesn't have the balls to stand up and say they will reserve judgement until cases are handled in the courts
