How much money would it have taken to change your mind about the case?

So, it's being whispered that Hardy made Holder go away by paying her off.  Personally, based on my admittedly low level of knowledge of the case, I think he would have been found innocent anyway.  But that would have meant legal fees at the very least, and at the worst he would have been found guilty and then been exposed to potential civil liability.

 

If I heard that he gave her millions to go away, I would probably change my mind considerably.  Right now I'm betting the number is closer to 50K.

 

What do you guys think?  And what number would change your current thinking to something different?

Dude, you've been around here for a long time and Ive always thought you were a sharp dude.  Don't always agree with you but BFD.

 

You gotta admit that a tweet about something like this that is unsupported and unattributed is little more than rumor.

 

This is something that Person tweeted.  Given that he's covered the team for a while, and that he's attributing this to State officials that he's presumably been in contact with about the case, it's probably a little more than some conspiracy level rumor.  And frankly, it makes a lot of sense for Hardy to pay her to go away, the only question is how much.  And that depends on whether it's nuisance money or something to really help him avoid serious liability.  Basically, it has a ring of truth to it.

 

I also wonder how long it is before the number is leaked, and which side does the leaking...

Look. The amount of money he will likely get on his next contract there is a chance he paid a significant amount just to make it go away instead of relying on a jury.

Jury trial is not a given and anything can happen.

He would make sense to just make it go away and mitigate risk of future earnings.

And none of that is an admission of guilt. Just making sure it gets done in most beneficial way (For Hardy)

My thinking exactly.  That's why I'm thinking in the 50K range too, but if it was in the million dollar area that's real money and he would probably fight it if his attorneys felt he had a strong case.

I think when the District Attorneys office says it in their official statement as to why they were dismissing charges, it's probably a little more than just a rumor via tweet.

 

In a statement explaining the decision to dismiss charges, the district attorney's office said it has "reliable information" that Holder and Hardy have reached a civil settlement and that she has "intentionally made herself unavailable to the State."

Prosecutors have been unable to locate Holder to issue her a subpoena, which would have compelled her to testify in the trial. Holder's civil attorney also has refused to assist prosecutors in locating his client.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
