No Greg Hardy ruling yet, too many days later

[dallasdave]

You just made his point. Outside our own base, most fans hate the Cowboys. Imagine that?

I'm trying but just can't imagine anyone hating the Cowboys.

Huh?

Peterson's appeal was heard in December of last year and within two weeks, Henderson denied his appeal and that's how it ended up in Judge Doty's lap.

That's the comparison here to Hardy. Rice and Peterson both got responses to their league appeals in less time than Hardy has taken.

Talking with him is very difficult sometimes. He will argue with you and then put up a quote that supports your position.

You are right about Peterson. Henderson heard his appeal and ruled within 2 weeks(it was heard Dec 2-4 and the ruling came Dec 14). THEN Peterson took his case to Federal Court and got Judge Doty.

AGAIN, Doty sent the decision back to Henderson for arbitration, and he has not ruled again.

This stuff isn't very difficult.

We are talking about Henderson and his NFL appeal, not Doty or Federal Court.

Try to keep up.

I think there's a good chance the suspension is 2 games or zero. Dragging this out makes them look like they really looked at it closely. Which maybe they did and possibly found out he wasn't as guilty or guilty at all.

The only evidence I've really heard is the 911 call and the woman didn't come off well. IMO.

Again, I wish I could say this slowly for you.

Doty sent the issue BACK to Henderson for FURTHER arbitration...

To which he has NOT arbitrated.

Which hasn't happened. The actual initial appeal ruling took 10 days for Peterson. His meeting in February was a reinstatement meeting. There has been no further appeal/arbitration hearing. Its not the same thing at all that you're trying to compare. Hardy actually HAD this appeal hearing and hasn't had it ruled on. Peterson had ONE so far to which it was ruled on in 10 days.

 

[Tabascocat]

Yea seems like they try to throw news in on Friday that's controversial so it dies some over the weekend so hopefully this is the case

I said that last week and the week before

Have a feeling nothing happens until Aug -13th....give or take a few days.

It's pretty safe to say that the NFL is, at this point, in breach of the CBA, which requires that the ruling is made "as soon as practicable". No lawyer is going to say they've met that time frame. And if the NFL plans to string this out into July, we might see a situation in which the NFLPA sues the NFL based on that alone. The NFL would lose, without question.

 

[Alexander]

All I have to say is that if Brady gets his "sentence" announced first, I call BS on this whole "process".

 

[Bungarian]

The NFL makes things up as they go. That is why they keep losing in court.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

You know, incase anyone hasn't realized it yet....Henderson is a ****

Thank you.

It takes a village to keep up with GB.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

what guy?

lol, nice

The point is, Henderson and the appeal still hasn't been settled. It was sent back to him a long time ago, and he still hasn't made a new (court mandated) ruling on that suspension appeal. This delay has compelled the NFLPA to file a claim of contempt by the NFL. GB is arguing that this case will have a significant impact on the outcome of Hardy's case.

I'm not sure what you guys would be confused about. He's been quite clear, at least in this instance.

Doty sent Peterson's appeal back to arbitration MONTHS ago.

Peterson has been waiting much longer than Hardy.

The idea that Henderson would be in any hurry to rule on Hardy is a mistaken one.

You sir, can have my kingdom.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The only excuse that I can possibly think of is that they are trying to contact Holder. This length of time is absurd even in that case.

That phrase, as soon as practicable, has a specific meaning. If he is missing any piece of evidence that he feels might need to be considered (like the disappearing girlfriend), he can delay it indefinitely.

 

[speedkilz88]

The investigative process was already finished. Henderson is strictly an arbitrator. He isn't part of the investigative process.
