Greg Hardy's trial might not happen until next year

Hope he is investing that 16 mill wisely.

Never think that this is about DV. This is about JR and protecting the shield. That man will throw PSL'ers $$$ away and stomp on the hopes of a fanbase with little care if it means he can make the NFL look better in the process.

Hardy will be punished by the NFL even if he is found innocent imo. If he is found guilty, then I think he will be permanently banned from the NFL. Past player suspensions and rules will not prevent this from happening to Hardy in the new climate. 

 

 

Permanently banned for a misdemeanor conviction?  I doubt that happens. 

 

If he is found guilty, I do think that the Panthers might release him Especially if Ealy or some of the others play well.  It will provide them with a lot of cap space and get them out of the NFL/media spotlight.

I don't understand why after 6 games of sitting and with knowledge Greg's trial isn't until 2015 he wouldn't suit up. I call shenanigans on the media if they lash out, the guy would've served the equivalent of a six game suspension. Guys like Donte Stallworth and Ray Lewis played after killing a person. It feels like the media wants Hardy to never suit up again.

 

Yup Yup

 

The irony is; Hardy was charged with a misdemeanor, not a felony as Ray Rice was charged, and McDonald was arrested on.

 

Nonetheless, the media wanted drop Hardy in the McDonald, Ray Rice basket, and the 49ers stuck to their guns (though he deserved to be thrown in the basket), while the Panthers effectively removed Hardy for a misdemeanor conviction, with a pending appeal. A Friggin Misdemeanor. 

 

Unfortunately, for the Panthers, they went along with the NFL's internal advice of waiting, and never got in front of the story, which eventually bit them in the neck when the media went whole hog against Hardy and the Panthers after the NFL's major flub with Ray Rice.

All Hardy had to do to keep 13 million dollars was stay his happy ass out of trouble

Think about that for just a minute

13 million dollars with a probably 80 million dollar long term deal

Think about too.

Instead he is a dumb poo that put himself in this position. No one but him. He hurt someone much smaller than himself. He hurt his teammates. He hurt the organization that took a chance oh him

If someone is so stupid to not think about those consequences, why would an organization want anything to do with him. He has played his last game in Carolina
