NFL: Greg Hardy won't be reinstated because he hasn't been disciplined yet

[Jeremy Igo]

Double fuggin jeopardy. Jesus Christ it baffles me how they can't just dock Hardy money for games and be done with it.. The max punishment is 6 games, he sat out 13. What am I missing here people?!?

So a person shopslifts, spends two years in jail awaiting trial, the max punishment is one year, so the judge sentences him to one year and uses the excuse "yea but the two years you spent in prison was because you were awaiting trial." WTF kinda bs is the NFL doing?

HE WAS PAID FOR THE REGULAR SEASON AND POSTSEASON. THAT IS WHAT THE NFL CARES ABOUT. PUNISHMENT IS MONEY, NOT PAID TIME OFF.

sorry for shouting.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but they withdrew request for evidence and hopefully will wrap it up soon. Regardless what they may think about his actions it is not fair to leave this over his head going into free agency

[Captain Obvious]

NFL "HEY LET"S MAKE poo UP AS WE GO ALONG" >>>  sorry for shouting.

That's what is the most frustrating. Hardy didn't get punished, his teammates and the fans did. Same poo with the ncaa banning teams from postseason who had nothing to do with the problem. It makes no sense.

[JJman Returns]

How'd he steal it. "Go on the list or we will suspend you and you can fight it if you like". Not really good choice. It was his dumb choice to stick his dick in crazy though. But those are the best lays.

You have to remember you're quoting Chuck here. He's made like 17 accounts in the past 2 months. Jeremy could get free meals at Hardy's for a week if he wanted too because of him.

I love Paid Time Off.... I used it today because of the snow...

 

except... they kind of forced me to use it... or I would get in trouble

 

wait... did I just get screwed out of vacation time?

I agree. The Panthers were punished, not Hardy.

Best case scenario now for the Panthers is for Hardy to avoid suspension, cash in on a bug time contract elsewhere, and give the Panthers a 3rd round 2016 pick.

[Montsta]

I understand a 17 game paid suspension doesn't count as punishment in the NFL world. But this exempt list is the fuging Guantanamo Bay of the NFL. No resolution to any problems just keep the poo quiet. They need to reinstate this man so they can dish out a punishment so any team bidding on his services knows what they are getting.

Also Igo called this 6 months ago.

[Riverboat Ron]

So Junior Gallette and several Saints teammates will be suspended 6 games right...? Right?

Yeah that's better than him coming back here on a vet minimum. We will be the team that condones wife beaters. Protests and riots will insue. Nfl will force the sale of the team and make them move. When he signs elsewhere "everyone deserves a second chance"

I know you've shut it down a million times, but the best case scenario would be for us to keep Hardy for a year on a contract way below his market value, then let him walk and get a 3rd round 2017 pick.

Too bad the public is ignorant as fug and doesn't understand Hardy's situation whatsoever. If they knew he was getting fuged over and is likely innocent (instead of them just blindly thinking he's a "wife beater" like Rice), then there'd be a fuss about how the league is screwing him over. And realize this... If he gets a 2 game suspension, the league is saying being accused of something but never proven is the exact same as being guilty of a crime with video evidence. If he gets more than 2 games, then being accuses of something that is never proven, is actually WORSE than being guilty with video evidence. The league will fight their hardest to keep Hardy off the field for as long as they can, but they won't win the fight. And this bullshit may eventually cost Goodell his job.

how is he likely innocent?

 

He got a guilty verdict...he appealed...then he paid her off....then chargers were dismissed.

 

IMO, the safest bet if you had to guess what happened....both he and she were probably both guilty that night. 

 

 

 

I think he likely gets 1-2 games for conduct detrimental.

No they should be put on the exempt list until they are found innocent and then remain on the list, just because.

I was wondering if Doty would give any clarification on this. He didn't so you are right.

Not surprising since it wasn't one of the formal complaints, but it was mentioned at hearing and I hoped there would have been more about it
