One of the top defensive ends in the world, former Panther, destroying Arena League in real time

[Khyber53]

In Arena League play, he is facing opponents just about as tough and strong as the girl he whooped and threw onto a bed covered with guns. Let's take his "destroying" with a few grains of salt. 

He was going to destroy the CFL. He was going to destroy MMA. He was going to destroy the NFC East. He was going to destroy the NFL.

About all he destroyed was his potential and millions of dollars.

Let it and him go. He's just a tiny footnote and a cautionary tale now -- one we've heard ad nauseum.

If Hardy was the player ya'll make him out to be he'd still be in Dallas.

When Pep was Hardy’s age, he was walking into BOA as a Bear to posters which read “Judas Peppers”.

Not sure where you're going here. I'm saying that the Cowboys gave his history a pass and he still couldn't cut it on the field. He's an okay DE and locker room circus, not some elite player that's just been blacklisted like this fanbase seems to believe.

“okay DE”?  Nate Solder is now the highest paid OL in the league, and Hardy did this to him after over a year off

Even Hall of Fame baseball players spend time in the minors after time off before returning to the Show.

This is just one of many reasons why living in Richmond, VA is sad from a sports perspective. We literally have VCU basketball and a bunch of poo like this. Rejoice in the fact that if you live within an hour of Charlotte it’s easy to get to see real professional sports. Here, not so much. 

Yeah, moral of the story is dont live in richmond folks

 

if you live in VA go live in a quiet safe small town

Oh yeah, a few of them do. But Hardy isn't Hall of Fame material. Never was, never will be. Hopefully he has found gainful employment in the Arena League. I don't wish any bad to the guy, but his fall into obscurity was pretty much his own doing.

Uhhhh.....but that's not even remotely normal or part of the plan in the NFL since there is no farm system.

What’s truly not remotely normal is a man being innocent in the eyes of the law but paying infinite-fold for either the sins, political aspirations, or to cover the ass of others, in a league where outlaws (and even murderers) have thrived for decades.

How do you know?  He is our single season sacks leader, not future Hall of Famer Julius Peppers, and tied with HALL OF FAMER Kevin Greene-of whom Hardy is STILL, right now, six years younger than Greene was in 1998.

That "record" he holds depends greatly on a single game where he had four sacks against an Atlanta Falcons tackle of dubious capabilities. in comparison to Peppers and Greene, Hardy isn't worthy of even sniffing their jockstraps. 

Really, why all this love for Hardy? Could you actually be him posting on this site?

He's not innocent in the eyes of the law. You don't pay the victim to disappear and suddenly become innocent. 

You have a very strange obsession.

Yes he is.  You don’t make a call like this, http://m.espn.com/general/play?id=10934434 , have the case ultimately thrown out, and suddenly become guilty.

As do you, by simply being here-on this site, in this thread, etc.
