Does talent trump trouble?

I am all for giving a person a second chance if he does his part to reform.This off season has been a circus between S.S.F.A and now this mess.I do believe G.H has a substance abuse problem( and yes,alcohol is what I mean). Definitly A..A is in order and counseling also.If he can change the course of his life then a contract offer with provisions of conduct would be reasonable.All the posts of booze on Twitter shows what he does in his down time.Stay out of the bars,get help for the addiction problem and grow up.He is on the cusp of flushing his career down the toilet.Hopefully there is no conviction and he gets it together.The guy has talent but is a problem child. What do you all think???? A second chance if he proves he is serious about football and a contract offer protecting the club or just cut ties regardless?

I really don't know what to make of this situation. I'm tired of being "guilty by media" so I will wait until some facts come out. All we know is Greg is arrested and don't know the feel story. Some of the post I have stayed away from because we are so quick to judge without knowing the truth. I'm not sure really why he has to go to AA. It could have been because when cops arrived both Greg and the woman were intoxicated which I don't think warrants meetings but what do I know. There may be more instants not reported. I would hope that he is innocent and he gets to clear his name without a shadow of the doubt so we can move on from this. There isn't anything wrong with going to bars and posting drinks on twitter. Now if an individual has a true issue with letting go alcohol then yes they should get some help. There is this fellow in my city that was known to have a problem with alcohol. He was a great guy and I chatted with him a few times. Well, recently he passed and they believe it was from his alcohol issue. Just my two cents

I wish some of you people would come off your high horses.  OMG Greg Hardy went to a club and was drinking.    You expect him to sit at home and fuging knit some sweaters?  There is nothing wrong with an athlete or celebrity doing the same legal things we all do.  You may need to do some research on what an addiction to alcohol really is.  Drinking when your out having a good time is not an addiction.  Alcoholics normally dont advertise they they are alcoholics.  Hes just young and showing off, impressing his internet friends on instagram etc.  Unless you know him personally and see his actions on a daily basis dont assume someone has a fuging alcohol addiction.

I couldn't have said it better myself. People are acting like he has a problem because he is going out on a tuesday night. Well, guess what, this is the off season and if I didn't have to work the next day and I was invited to a party, I am there lol. Even then, after work on a weekday *gasp*, I may grab a couple cold ones and relax.  Good post though man

Look, everyone has issues. Everyone. When these issues start to interfere with your daily life (relationships, career, etc) then it becomes a problem. It may just be he has extremely poor decision making skills that lead him to surround himself with crazy people. Either way, it needs to be addressed. He is a hugely talented guy, quirky to say the least, but hopefully it will all work out. Jerry just doesn't play when it comes to this stuff.

The guy has a problem with alcohol.  Anyone who denies this fact may have as well.

 

you are making judgements and assumptions based purely on what you have seen portrayed by the media.  you dont know Hardy.  Saying poo like that is ignorant.  Not sure if you actually listened to the 911 call but Hardy didnt exactly sound drunk.  actually he was quite clear spoken and coherent.  Drunk people with an addiction to alcohol dont normally do those things.  You think hardy would be able to hide an alcohol addiction from the panthers then your fuging bat poo crazy.  If they thought at all he had an addiction to alcohol, they would have never tagged him.

If a judge sentences you to AA 3 times per week, it's more than "he was hanging out with friends and is fine".

Since Hardy was intoxicated when this happened(they both were), that's a pretty standard court order. That doesn't mean he's an alcoholic.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
