Yes they can. They just did with Peterson. Are you this slow? Hardy did agree to be put on it but he really had no other choice because if he said no he'd have just been suspended indefinitely.

No. Their new policy says 6 games for first offender. So they were not waiting on it to decide how many games.

Am I bad if I feel jealous?

I don't have a clue what you're talking about, that's just my guess.

He got a job with the Panthers.

It's completely fuged up. Gender bias in the courts is a major issue in the US that isn't getting the attention it should.

We'll see what happens with him. There's 0 chance Hardy ends up with more than 2 games. He shouldn't get any, and it's possible he won't, but we'll see.

No I'm looking at it from a facts standpoint. The NFL has shown that it doesn't use facts as a basis for punishment, and that it makes things up as it goes, so yes there will likely be punishment. I'm saying that it's not right or fair.

Based on how the dozens of lawyers who commented on the case explained how NC law makes a guilty verdict in the bench trial basically guaranteed to happen, I'd say that the outcome of that trial doesn't say anything at all about the evidence. Holder was the only "evidence" in the bench trial. If there was other actual evidence, the prosecution would've continued with the trial without her.

Well, yes and no. It's about getting the most possible positive yards. I've seen both Ginn and this kid numerous times run out of bounds to avoid contact when he could've easily gotten 5 more yards. and maybe even more or broken a tackle and gone all the way. And I can't see Agholor going down the middle and holding onto a catch with a hit coming. He plays kind of scared. Smitty's such a monster because he fight his hardest for every extra inch. Agholor won't get any yards after contact. Smitty made his career on it. I know I shouldn't compare him to Smitty, I'm just saying that's a part of his game that I don't like. Having that aspect of taking hits and getting more out of them is a big part of being a successful WR, in my opinion. That's why I liked Philly this past year, he's a small motherfuger but he fought for those yards. It's not taking away from me wanting us to get him in the 2nd, I just think if he embraced that contact and tried to break tackles and fight for more yards, he'd be more successful.

Hardy was the only one who didn't admit guilt. People believed he'd be guilty because the media reported in every Hardy story that he was found guilty and then appealed. But they never clarify how NC law works to show that the original guilty verdict was a technicality. If Goodell actually thought he would be guilty, then he was way stupider than I thought someone making his kind of money would be.

Resorting to calling me a child, I see. Interesting.

There would need to be some evidence of abuse. There wasn't in Hardy's case, otherwise the cops on the scene would've arrested him.

Yes if a woman who is TRULY BEATEN calls the police, the man should be arrested. But that's not the case. The cops there found nothing to indicate that Hardy hit her, and didn't even arrest him when they arrived. And HARDY HIMSELF called the police, not her. If there's not evidence of a crime being committed, then why in the fuging world should somebody be arrested?

Wow. So doing something that's not criminal at all, means he should've been arrested? Do you also think girls that dress skimpy should get raped and that anyone who thinks they shouldn't get raped is "childish and not facing reality?"

How in the world did you come to that conclusion?

Hanging out with "shady people" is not a crime and it is not something that justifies being suspended by the NFL.

He never should've been arrested in the first place.

I just got around to watching a lot of his film. What stuck out most to me was his field vision. It's absolutely amazing on punt returns and when he has the ball in his hands. If we can't get Ginn or Jones and we end up drafting Agholor, I'd be confident with him back there returning for us. Fielding a punt is a lot different from college to NFL, but seeing the field and using your blockers isn't that much different. He'd be a guy with very good home run ability on returns that would help us immediately. Also he looked very good and balanced running many different routes and has deceiving and sudden acceleration. Could be good YAC, but what bothers me is he is kind of like Ginn in that he always tries to avoid contact. I think he could step in opposite KB and be an immediate contributor. I'm thinking he would be a fantastic 2nd rounder for us if we could get him there,

You keep saying "he was found guilty, then he paid her off" yet you then say you don't know whether he paid her off and that the NC law which was why he was found guilty is irrelevant. Wouldn't expect anything else from you, my friend.

Please, try your hardest to give me a reasonable explanation of why and how he made them look bad. I'm not saying they won't punish him based on that, given how Goodell and his minions have shown how they respond to these types of things. I'm saying any punishment would be outrageously unfair. And people should cry about it, because anybody who believes in fairness and doing the right thing should want Hardy immediately reinstated.

I'm not saying he won't get punishment. You were arguing that he isn't innocent and you used the original guilty verdict as part of your reasoning behind why he isn't innocent. So that NC law means something based on what you said.

Absolutely young for switches. Peterson was 100% wrong. I'm just saying he shouldn't be labeled as a child abuser because intent clearly wasn't to harm the child. In his mind, it was in his kid's best interest long term to be disciplined for doing something wrong. That is how he was brought up. I can't blame him.

I would consider punishment, but here's another argument supporting it not being punishment. Missing last year likely added another year to his career.

I don't know how old you are, but it was common when I was a kid to get whooped with a belt or switch until your ass was red as the fuging devil. Peterson grew up that way and that was how he learned to discipline his kids. Once again I'm not saying it's no issue, but to crucify the guy because of him not ever knowing better is pretty ridiculous.
