Why the Hell is No One Knocking on Nelly's Door?

Here it is.  You have this grease ball swoop in and get with Hardy's ex why she's on the rebound.  The MOST disrespectful thing you can do to another man.  Then this scumbag has the balls to host the Hornet's party?  MJ needs to put a muzzle on that quick.  I'll never stop being a Hornets fan but this is a bad move that we'll make many Panther/ Hornet fans not even want to be at Buzz Fest.  I know I have 0 interest in supporting that party if they're going to use Nelly as their primary sales engine.

I think, like many on here, you are overreacting to the situation. No need to read too much into stuff and make it more than what it already is.

 

You might be right. 

 

I just don't think it's right for this guy to experience 0 negative back draft for doing one of the worst things you can do to another person.

 

And no I don't think MJ is trying to create a rivalry.  I just think that it's going to limit the support.

This is the first time I've seen anyone connect Buzzfest with Greg Hardy. Talk about a reach...I completely forgot Nelly was even involved in that case.

Jeebus. We are such a young, innocent fanbase. We beg for media attention then when we get it and it's not positive we cry foul and start making threads like this (nothing against you because this is not the only overreaction thread on here.)

And ONCE AGAIN, it's just another "we need to blame someone other than Greg Hardy" thread. The sooner we start pointing the finger at the right person for putting himself in this situation, the sooner we can all enjoy this pretty darn good football season that we have going right now.

I don't think Greg by any stretch is innocent and he should face the consequences for the actions he brought upon himself. 

 

I just don't think that Holder or Nelly is innocent either. 

 

Would you be pissed if Nelly swooped in and slept with your girlfriend while you were "broken up" for less then a week?

 

I can understand why Hardy was pissed off.  Nelly was WRONG for what he did too.  Hardy DID let his emotions get the best of him, but I completely understand why he was pissed.

 

It absolutely DOES make me lose respect for Nelly and it was a distasteful choice by the Hornets to utilize Nelly at buzz fest in simultaneous conjunction with the Hardy media uproar.

You are the only one making that connection and blaming Nelly for doing something that sounds like it's out of the plot line of a teenage ABC Family drama.

Even if that mattered, Buzzfest is at the end of October. Even The Golden Calf of Bristol and the Bounty gate stories burned out eventually. The longer Rice and Hardy stay away from the field, the less you'll hear about them to the point where Hardys appeal will probably barely register.

Well it's honestly the first thing I thought about when I visited the Hornets page and saw it.  I might be the first to post it on the huddle, but if I saw that connection chances are others will to.

I am not going to let Nelly be a buzzkill (PUN!) for what will become the big story in the Charlotte area (opening night) because of Greg Hardy.

It doesn't diminish my excitement for the Hornets at all.  I know I'm gonna try to be there on opening night. 

 

I just don't get the Nelly promotion at this time.  If it's in November they should have waited to drop his name until after this Hardy thing as blown over.  I don't want to even think about Nelly being a buzzkill, and that's my point.  Thought should have never been planted.

Nelly is a superstar and he's a minority owner why wouldn't they want him hosting. They don't need to be thinking about Greg. I doubt Nelly & Hardy are even the slightest friends so I don't see where the foul play is dude. Girls like her obviously throw themselves at athletes and entertainers. He had some cooch thrown and he snatched it. He probably didn't have to initiate it or work for it at all. This ain't on him. I'll admit you do have a beautiful mind though. I hope you use it to your advantage in life but this in my opinion is reading way too much into it.

Appreciate the compliment?

 

It's just weird out of everyone you can use for Buzzfest you choose the one guy tied to the Hardy case.

 

Truth is stranger then fiction.

It's purely coincidental. Buzzfest was announced the day the name changed. As lindsey said, this is about the Hornets, not Nelly.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
