Hardy Case Dismissed

[SCP]

Joe Person be like "Wait up bro!!"

[Anybodyhome]

Can any of y'all see how bad this organization just got played by Hardy?

 

Yep... an NFL franchise with an ownership group consisting of several successful billionaire business people and filled to the ceiling with lawyers, consultants and other business people got played by a 26-year old NFL football player. 

 

Right. 

[electro's horse]

this is basically an admission of guilt on hardy's part btw

[Kakarot]

I'm still holding hope that we bring him back. I know it's not likely, but I'm hoping we bring him back. I like Hardy.

No its not what kind of crazy logic are you using here?

[electro's horse]

No its not what kind of crazy logic are you using here?

the insane, nuts logic that you don't make a settlement for a case you're going to win.

Right.

Doesn't take a genius to handcuff an organization by its own rules. It wasn't a complicated plan a great proportion! Fairly simple

[tiger7_88]

This organization has screwed the pooch big time! Our season might've turned out differently if he was on the field.

 

 

Please explain, in detail, how any of this was "this organization's" fault.

 

Dis gon' be gud...

So now Hardy can be Signed for League Minimum, play one more year. Then right when the season starts, Goodell will put him on a 6 game Suspension per new League Rules.

Not at all, or at least how I see it.  Then why not just settle, and or plead guilty at the first stage when he went in front of the judge.  It was a misdemeanor, he would have gotten his two game (which then the NFL changed to 6) suspension and moved on.  I guess maybe after all this time he realized he would lose?? but I don't see it.  You don't go this far into the process and start jury selection if you do not feel like you are innocent.

Actually it happens quite a bit.  Sometimes its better to Settle than face a trial, even if you feel you have a good shot at winning. 

[CPcavedweller]

Wow. Can we please bring this guy back. If he didn't play angry before he will be now.

[tiger7_88]

Because we wasted 13 million dollars in cap space last season on a guy who shouldn't have been suspended.  That money could have been used on players that could have helped us go further in the playoffs than we did.  Fans have the right to be pissed the fug off, but ultimately it will not affect us going forward because he will not be a panther next season.

 

So you're saying that Gettleman exercised the franchise option on Hardy knowing he was going to be accused of domestic abuse?

 

Could you explain in detail how Gettleman knew such a thing?  Crystal ball?  Tarot cards?
