No Greg Hardy ruling yet, too many days later

[Floatyworm]

If I am Hardy I only accept a two game suspension. Anymore than that and I take it to court.

I wouldn't accept anything.........they guy was never convicted. Why should he serve time for something he was never convicted of?

Grow a pair and make a stand

Really hoping you would catch the Pulp Fiction reference. Still, good catch by you.

I missed it. I am ashamed.

Hoof, say "what" again.

 

[Nightman]

They shouldn't because the numbers they come up with are wrong.

How could it be wrong? I just made it up because two guys were arguing about who is more liked around here, statistically.

Gonna throw a wrench in here................

How do you account for the score for those posts before "likes" came in?

 

[rpntex]

Waiting on a decision for arbitration is the wrong answer here.

The real date to be considered with is August 13th, but even that is just a deadline. Everything should be wrapped up before then.

Why August 13th? Even if the suspension is upheld, it doesn't go into effect until the Monday before the season opener. He's allowed to practice through camp and play in all preseason games. if it s upheld - regardless of the date - Hardy and his legal team will file for an injunction to allow him to play while the case is being litigated. If it is resolved agreeably - regardless of the date - he's still going to practice through the final day of camp.


So, I ask again...what's the significance of that date in August?

I was just using the easy accessible numbers listed right under every poster's picture. Nothing scientifical.

You get a 386

Something to do with AP's case or some Doty decision that will effect the upcoming Hardy case I think. Not sure why, lost interest of trying to understand this process.

That is when the contempt of court hearing will be heard against the NFL.

The NFLPA filed it since they feel the League has ignored Judge Doty's ruling on the Peterson appeal.

It would also apply to the Hardy case and help move things along more quickly.

August 13th in the contempt hearing date that will likely address all of this. It is also probably going to be a humiliating date for the NFL, and in many cases people resolve their issues before going into a contempt hearing they know they are going to lose. That makes August 13th effectively a deadline date for the NFL to do the right thing.

I really don't understand why he's being suspended at all, he already missed 15 games. I'd have the same opinion if he played for the Eagles, it just doesn't seem right.

i guess that's me. yes i'm a cowboys fan. no i didn't want hardy. no i had no idea about the "history" i just didn't want to pay the man so to speak. once we signed him i did look into it and tried to be as unbiased as i could be. he made a crap call on his girlfriend, but if that were something to go to jail over, how many of us would be in there.

to me i found more than enough reasonable doubt to the "woman abuser" claim. all the OH MY GOD BUT HE HAD AUTOMATIC WEAPONS crap is just crap. not automatic and no weapon was illegal. zero to do with the story but so many people WILL let that sink in for personal reasons.

in any event, i'd be bull headed and fight to the end. they penalized brady and the pats then ran around for weeks apologizing for it and trying to "make it better".

screw the NFL management. they've about killed the fun of the game to me.

To quote Hoof "A number of posters have posting histories that predate the like system by a decade."

Hardy impressive, but suspension looms​

​

It’s uncertain when Greg Hardy will be allowed to play. The NFLPA’s appeal of his 10-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the league is currently being reviewed. But the defensive end is already making a major contribution to the Cowboys by bringing a heightened level of intensity to organized team activities that is noticeable.


“I like his work ethic,” defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said. “It’s every second, every down. The guy never takes a relaxed step the whole day. He is a grinder. He really loves football.”


Hardy, who has lined up on the edge and inside, hasn’t played in a game since September 2014 and appears to be making up for lost time by going through his repetitions with vigor.


Overheard last week in the locker room was a conversation between a pair of his teammates who were marveling at the fact that Hardy’s effort far exceeded the norm in that kind of practice — maybe to the point that he overstepped what was acceptable.


“I can’t say enough positive things about how he’s approached it day-in and day-out, how he has worked, how he talks, how he communicates,” tight end Jason Witten said. “I don’t think he feels like he has to prove something to us. I just think he does it because that’s what he does.”


What to expect in minicamp: More of the same. Hardy was the talk of the organized team activities because of his assiduous approach to practice. Per the guidelines of his suspension, Hardy is allowed to participate in the veteran minicamp, and he should leave his mark during the three-day event.


“Greg Hardy is doing amazing,” defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford said.

Looks like yet another day with no decision.

 

[erod]

20 days and counting.....

 

[31smackdown]

I was hoping the NFL would use the NHL and NBA Finals to divert attention away from reducing the time, but I guess not.

 

[AzorAhai]

This is beyond ridiculous.

 

[Tabascocat]

Goodell is going to do his best to see that Hardy plays in as few games as possible. Drag this on as long as he can then hope the courts take forever.

Even if Hardy signed with NE, GB or whoever......the results would still be the same.

 

[Oh_Canada]

If I am Hardy I only accept a two game suspension. Anymore than that and I take it to court.

Exactly how I feel. Personally I think he should get nothing because that was a very shaky case to begin with and in the end the case was dismissed. Fine him and be done with it.

The NFL would makes things much easier for themselves if they would just tie the punishment to the results from the legal system. They could have a predefined punishment for each level of legal system violation from misdemeanor through to felonies.

The current system requires the NFL to do their own investigation which, IMO, is silly. We have a vast and complex legal system in this country. There is no reason for the NFL to try and duplicate that with it's own system.

IMO, the NFL should test for performance enhancing drugs and just use the results of the legal system to determine other punishments.

I agree. It appears the NFL deferred to the legal system for the criminal case but decided to treat their internal investigation as a civil case. The problem is the NFL is not remotely equipped (or competent) for this role. However, the courts are to blame. In the Ray Rice case the NFL was criticized for "too much deference to the judicial outcome". Well, the NFL responded in kind. Catch-22.
