They're not facts, they're allegations. No one has seen these extensive bruises her lawyer alleges, the incident report references minor injury in the form of bruises/scratches. It's fishy as hell that she refused treatment at the scene, but then shows up to the courthouse with her arm in a sling. She wasn't in court mind you, just outside where the cameras could see her. Now she's saying he paraded her in front of a bed full of firearms and told her he'd kill her if she went to the press about the 'abuse.' All this after she supposedly called his friend repeatedly to try to get in touch with him, and confronted him at his condo. If those details are factual, that doesn't sound like a woman fearing for her safety. She's shared this guy's bed since September and she didn't know he was supposedly stockpiling weapons? And she would have known that he had them when she went to confront him? Come on, man! I don't give a poo if Greg Hardy ever plays another snap in the NFL, but if you think this sounds like an open and shut domestic abuse case, you're delusional.

I'm thinking the friend was a 'she' and that's what started all of this. Sounds like angry, drunk girlfriend found him with someone else and went off. The fact that she's already lawyered up doesn't pass the smell test. I think she's trying to take him for a ride, Panther Greg style.

LOL! None of these guys are my heroes. They are extremely well paid entertainers, many of whom have a tendency to attract hangers on and people looking for a pay day. I just find it funny when so many are so quick to assume the worst about a person without considering the alternative. It's not like both scenarios haven't played out many times before. The way I look at it, maybe he was the scumbag, OR maybe she was the scumbag. We obviously have no idea either way at this point.

Do you have some insider information, or are you just assuming the worst?

SUSPICION of domestic violence. We all know how crazy some of these athletes' 'girlfriends' can be, and some of the twisted poo they can pull. If he did it, he should be punished, but I'm going to reserve judgment until they actually say he's guilty of something.

I love both shows. Both of them are real in a way that many other shows are not. I rarely feel like someone is being written out of or into trouble. Story arcs follow the natural outcomes of good or bad choices. I loved The Shield, but in the latter seasons of the series, it became comical how Kurt Sutter and Co. would write characters into and out of trouble. Now he's done even worse on Sons of Anarchy. What they do on The Wire and Breaking Bad is much more subtle and believable. The difference for me between the Wire and Breaking Bad is that I always felt that while The Wire's ensemble cast was fantastic, it was just an ensemble cast. No one actor was the standout throughout the series as Bryan Cranston has been on Breaking Bad. To me, that's what makes Breaking Bad special, similar to Tony Soprano on the Sopranos. I still think The Sopranos is probably the best show ever, with Tony Soprano the best character ever. That said, Bryan Cranston and Michael Chiklis are probably my two favorite television actors. I didn't know enough of James Gandolfini to have any problems believing he could be a mob boss, but I would never have believed that Hal Wilkerson and the Commish could become Walter White and Vic Mackey. For all of the crap music that's coming out right now, we're really lucky to be enjoying the current age of television. I can't remember when there have ever been this many great shows on at one time. It's impossible to keep follow all of them at the same time. Thank God for Netflix! Speaking of Netflix, Orange is the New Black is a great show if you haven't started watching it yet.

Township Grille was the best! Sad to hear they're out of business. Now my favorite place on my side of town is Moosehead. I never eat in the restaurant because I don't like needing a spatula to pry myself off of their sticky bench seats when it's time to leave. Their service is meh as well, but they do cut a vent in the Styrofoam to keep the wings from getting too soggy on the drive home which I think is a nice touch. DD Peckers is good, a hole in the wall, but slightly cleaner and much brighter than Moosehead. Wing King is good, used to play pool there after work once in a while. Wouldn't drive across town for them though. Used to love the chargrilled wings at Cheese Moz, Dan Morgan's pizza place.
