The NFL Shield At Midfield Grand Master

The NFL Shield At Midfield

We're back here again ... talking about Greg Hardy

For a minute, lets take a look at another organization from one of the other "big four" American sports. (NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB)

The New York Mets ... the Mets are a young talented team, they were in the World Series last year.

Well its July 7th 2016 and the New York Mets are 3.5 games behind the Nationals. They are gaining ground on Washington quickly as they have been on a hot streak ... why have they been on a hot streak, and what does any of this have to do with Greg Hardy ?

On Halloween last year, 2015, Jose Reyes was arrested for domestic violence. He put his hand around his wives neck and pinned her against a wall. Reyes is a good player, or has been in the past for the Mets, and though he is 33 years old the Mets signed him.

Wilmer Flores, a New York Met, who hadn't done poo all year long, started to get hot at the plate when the Reyes signing was announced. Flores is young, the signing of Reyes meant he might not get as much playing time when it was time for Reyes to play with the Mets after Reyes' minor league stint to get acclimated to playing again.

It lit a fire under Flores' ass, he has started to produce at an outstanding clip, including a 6-6 day at the plate against the NL best Chicago Cubs last weekend, and two home runs today. He's hit as many home runs in the last week as he had all season. The Mets swept the Cubs in a four game series last weekend. They signed Reyes because they had been struggling though ..

You bring in as many great players as you can. Reyes hit two doubles today. The nice family guy, qouir boy, good team mate on the Mets, Asdrubal Cabrera now looks like the odd man out of the lineup for the Mets now, because Flores and Reyes are the players hot. But Asdrubal Cabrera plays good defense, has hit well this season, and doesn't have domestic violence on his record ... too bad

Nobody in New York thinks what Reyes did is good. David Wright, Mets franchise player and main figure within the Mets organization, and their manager Terry Collins among others in the organization have said they hate what he did. It is despicable what he did, they don't condone it at all and think it is sick that he put his hands on a female. Collins, the Mets manager however says everybody deserves a second chance. 

If 33 (thirty three) year old Jose Reyes can choke his wife, grab his wife by the throat, and get a second chance in NEW YORK with the Mets of all places where the media is grueling and the most critical of all US cities, why can't 27 year old, elite pass rusher Greg Hardy get a second chance in Carolina ?

But he got a second chance in Dallas and fuged it up ...

He didn't get another domestic violence charge did he ? Alright then ... bringing Greg Hardy in is good for him and good for us. We've got a strong locker room, the strongest in the league. 

If we're about winning we'll bring him in. The Mets are about winning so much that they brought in a 33 year old, who most thought to be washed up Reyes, in to try to boost the team and it worked. It made other players perform better and increased competition.

I'm not asking the Panthers to bring in a washed up 33 year old defensive end in ... try a 27 year old defensive end who in the right city can flourish. Bring Hardy home. The Mets brought Domestic Violence abuser Reyes home and hes 33, and the Mets were in the championship last year, like the Panthers ... you exhaust all avenues when you are about winning and if the Mets can do it in the New York media spotlight, why can't the Carolina Panthers ?

If the Mets can bring home wife beat Jose Reyes, home as in the franchise started career with, why cant Greg Hardy come home ?

And trust me, the Mets fans, they just cheer because Reyes did something good on the field. You should have seen the crowds that came to see wife beater Jose Reyes on his rehab stints in the minors. Loads of people that don't normally go to minor league baseball games came to see wife beater Jose Reyes.

The New York Mets slapped the notoriously harsh New York media upside its bitch head with the Reyes signing, and that guy is almost washed up at 33, but it has paid dividends in the standings and locker room! Other players feel a fire under their ass for playing time, that would be a good problem to have with all of our defensive ends. 

Clearly the Panthers are going to sign Greg Hardy and have the nastiest defense in the league

So all this political correctness and wanting to look good in the media and poo, fug it, fans just want to see the opposing QB get sacked. Fans cheer when wife beater Jose Reyes hits a double or steals a base, fans will cheer when Greg Hardy sacks the QB

If the Mets can do it, we can do it, if the Mets can sign a wife beater in the name of winning so can't we, and a much better player at that we'd be signing .. or will be signing.

I can't wait to buy a Greg Hardy jersey and have him sign it at Wofford.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
