NFL Files Suit for Hardy File 2 hours after signing

[Bungarian]

This would have happened no matter which team he wound up signing with. It's part of the reason there were so few takers for an elite pass rusher.

Why not do it months ago?

legally entitled to these documents on what grounds?

 

[Crown Royal]

Why, exactly, is the NFL entitled to such documents? I mean, what is their argument?

 

[AbeBeta]

I don't see the point. They needed to wait for him to have a contract with any team to take action. Just my opinion

The point is that everyone in the league office is against the Cowboys. At least that's what the CBZ Tin Foil Hat Brigade will have us believe

legally entitled to these documents on what grounds?

Probably based on the CBA and his contractual relationship with the NFL, I would assume.

highly questionable actually. Since the only transcript of that so called trial was paid for by Hardy's lawyers.

The case wasn't dismissed until Feb. of this year. The story implies that the league only filed the suit because their requests to get a copy of the court file have met with nothing but silence.

Well Hardy actually.

 

[unionjack8]

2 games, appealed to 1 is my guess

 

[Lodeus]

Wow. Great timing.

 

[Nightman]

Well Hardy actually.

Lawyers don't foot for spit

 

[mahoneybill]

Un-freakin-believable.

Agree. NFL has itself caught in a situation where the legal system, or the individuals , have reached a settlement and now they want to render their form of " social justice"

Mine buys me drinks every now and then, usually after I pay him to look some thing over though.

Probably about right. Likely a 6 game check fine though. He served a psuedo suspension last year but was paid throughout

Sad part is from all that *IS* known, Hardy was the one under attack.

Just because he paid the victim off doesn't mean the act should go unpunished. That's a horrible precedent

 

[Kaiser]

Even if they try to issue a suspension Hardy will appeal. If you remember the Detroit playoff game were Suh appealed and then got to play, it would be a complete joke if Suh wasn't suspended by the NFL but Hardy was.

Oh, wait... what am I saying?

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

The NFL goes too far with this stuff. The guy was exonerated so buzz off,,,, no suspension either.

Exactly

Correction:

1. Paralegal looked something over for 30 minutes.
2. Paralegal wrote quick brief, signed by lawyer, 20 minutes.
3. Lawyer charged @Dave_in-NC 2.5 hours
4. Lawyer bought two drinks for 10 minutes of billings

ERGO

@Dave_in-NC bought @Dave_in-NC and Lawyer Drinks

There is a precedent. If there is absolutely zero credible evidence, you aren't guilty.
