Just smh... This story just won't die

I understand he feels the need to defend himself, but he really really needs to shut up right about now.

That said, him changing his Twitter bio line is hardly "insisting innocence" to the point it requires a bunch of more commentary from the media that is so desperate to cling the story.

this is a huge distraction they should of never signed him the return on the investment is just not very good.

The investment is just fine IMO. He has tangibly produced on the field. You could say he has had one mediocre game and that was Sunday night and he still was making an impact in the game at times. If we can't handle the "distraction" because the rest of the team is a dumpster fire that can't even win one game out of the games he has played in, that is their problem.

A distraction how? Is it keeping us from winning games?

Could Hardy sue any of these media outlets for libel for stating as a fact that he paid someone off when there has been absolutely no evidence of such a thing?

0-6 is a huge distraction.

Agreed, even if you grant his premise, it shows a lack of awareness of the situation and lack of self-control. It's difficult to sympathize with that when it occurs repeatedly.

He is doing his job. If other players on the roster were doing their's, we might have a win since he was activated.

Just when the mods move yet another Hardy thread to the rant zone, another one pops up. We don't die. We multiply.

The investment has been more than worth it, so much worth it an extension is critical for the defense

That's what I don't understand... the guy just doesn't know how to shut his mouth. He's either too proud to admit he made a mistake, or too stupid to stop adding fuel to the fire.

He can't win at this point-- even if he somehow didn't miraculously do anything wrong (which I don't believe)-- the media and the court of public opinion has decided. The best thing he can do right now, is make the next right decision-- apologize, learn from the mistake, and then shut his mouth, play well, and start to do some good work in the community.

I hope LP Ladouceur gets a DUI or something so we have something else to talk about.

 

[DogFace]

Since he was there maybe he knows more than everyone assumes.

It is possible.

There is a lesson in there.

You can always sue. But he would lose.

Hardy is a public figure and the story is newsworthy. So he would have to prove that the statements are false, and if they are false that the publisher either knew it was false or was reckless with regard to whether it was false.

Its a tough case to win.

EXACTLY!

If the meditos dont really do enough research to become aware of all the details its no wonder a bunch of fans do the same and post about it forming opinions and making moral decrees based on soundbites.

smh...

You did see the pictures right? Of Nicole Holder? Bruises all over her body?

C'mon man...even if she instigated the fight-- a man who is 280lbs has no business throwing around a woman. Ever. I swear-- if Hardy was signed by the NYG or Philly this offseason most of his "defenders" would be standing up and moralizing about how bad those front offices are for signing a creep.

He needs to **** unless it's a football question
