Hardy being advised to sit out season

[Chaos]

I trust Bleacher Report as much as I trust my dentist to give me a prostate exam.

Wait, they don't do those??

[*FreeFua*]

Unless his case is resolved in November we won't be seeing Hardy in a Panthers uni again.

I so hope I'm wrong about this. Would love to have him back.

[blackcat]

Not just his choice.

IF he's not back for the Seahawks game (6 games, which is the NEW policy for a GUILTY man made AFTER his incident, which he is still likely to be INNOCENT (IMO)) I'm gonna fugging RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's still over half the season he gets to play. IF guilty (unlikely IMHO) he pays the money back for the 6 games. Appeases the wussies and we can still make a run.

 

Hardy's not coming back this year, so prepare to rage.  His trial date of mid November is tenuous and will more than likely be next year.  That being said, Hardy's not playing until after his trial.  sorry.

Well, not while you're awake.

Hardy should be back by the Seattle game. Anything later then that is asinine. Especially if his trial gets pushed back to 2015. I'm not saying what he did wasn't wrong because it definitely was. But come on, it's

not like the guy committed murder or facing felony charges. Honestly he should still be playing right now but the media made us their bi***.... and the team FO folded under pressure.

Why are we paying him 13 million to do nothing?  He should only get paid if he is playing.

The media has already forgotten.  McDonald hasn't been mentioned at all in the last week.  

 

Josh Brent killed someone, suspended 10 games.  NFL is allowing him back to practice and be with team this week.  It's not even news.

 

We fuged it up big time by not sticking to our guns.

 

Hardy also fuged us big time by being in this situation to begin with. Likely cost him millions on his next contract too.

Unfortunately we have no recourse with the exempt list.

[Mr. Scot]

This is what happens when money is more important than the game.

Hardy is free to set whatever priorities he wishes for his life, of course.

Let's say Hardy's trial begins in November. When does it end? Let's say some time has passed and it's ended, and he's found innocent. Are we now in December? Never mind. He still hasn't been punished. The exempt list with pay is not his punishment. Although not guilty of a crime, his conduct embarrassed the league.

 

"While criminal activity is clearly outside the scope of permissible conduct, and persons who engage in criminal activity will be subject to discipline, the standard of conduct for persons employed in the NFL is considerably higher. It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. Instead, as an employee of the NFL or a member club, you are held to a higher standard and expected to conduct yourself in a way that is responsible, promotes the values upon which the League is based, and is lawful."

 

In my opinion Hardy will be suspended even if he is found guilty. I can't imagine anyone truly believes that Hardy will play this season. And just imagine if he's found guilty.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Meh. It's not like if he did come back late in the season he'd contribute right away. He'd have to knock the rust off.

 

Let who we have no gel and compete. Let's be done with Hardy. 

[Cary Kollins]

what the hell even is this?

We love you, Greg. Come back.

His stock is doing nothing but going up.. Went from the number two defense to a mess
