My point is if they drag out the appeal and then rubber stamp it he will file a Federal lawsuit. The judge will issue a stay and he can play until the trial and judgement which may take a while.

He has already missed 15 games. All they need to do is back date the fines.

That is what they doing with Peterson.

Doesn't need to file a lawsuit. Hearing (not trial) is already happening in August.

Not exactly.

Peterson's situation is different than Hardy's in that he requested reinstatement last year, was suspended last year, and missed those games. Hardy hasn't missed any games due to suspension yet.

They can do whatever they want to end it. The Commissioner's Exempt list was never used before and if players are smart it won't be used again.

They won't do it though because it makes too much sense and makes them look 'soft' on DV.

the nfl is going to delay and delay some more in this case until they get the 10 games I hope it don't work though.

I would bet he sues the league and gets an injunction to play until a ruling is made. Then watch the league get into high gear....

That is what I said but Beast says a hearing is already scheduled?
