Which is effectively saying she doesn't want it to go to court because she can't prove it beyond a resonable doubt. 

I don't want him as a GM but that's a different story and independent of this 

Yeah, but it still doesn't retract the accusation, just how she wants to handle it.  Whether or not you believe the accusation, the NFL has to take it seriously.  So, barring a full recanting of the accusation by the ex-wife, the NFL will have to do a legitimate investigation to determine the actual facts.  And that will take time, likely effecting Hurney's employment chances...fair or not.

Maybe but look how long it took to investigate Ezekiel Elliott. The investigator (a woman, no less) said that he shouldn't be punished and he still was. We can't wait around for that. 

And if this was an attempt at a money grab, she's ignorant and likely, defeated her own purpose. 

Yeah but if he’s innocent that’s going to cost him an big opportunity, if he’s guilty he’s out, but shouldn’t be automatically thrown off the list due to accusations that can be false.....can ruin someone’s career with something like this

So you're not exciting about the man losing his job but "you can live with it". 

Lol....yep, I'm the asshole. 

Went back looking hard for something you could use to justify your accusations, eh?  Ah well, beats apologizing, right?

Yes, if he continued to get paid despite not actually having to work, I could live with that.  You'll notice nothing about that has him living in disgrace.  Just the opposite.  As I've said before, it allows him to be out of the spotlight while everyone forgets about him so he can live in peace while simultaneously allowing the Panthers to move on.

Gee, what a horrible thing that would be :eyeroll:

Conveniently she created it after trying to get more alimony. The judge said there wasn't evidence of it, then marty tattled right after it happened. The team told the NFL and Marty was put on leave. Then she withdrew the claim and her lawyer says there's nothing to see here. This wreaks of showmanship and greed. 

I completely agree.  This stinks to high heaven.

Are you suggesting these are the same things? 

Don't have all the info yet. But I'll error on the side of defending the woman first. That video should remind you how abused women often react once post accusation. Hurney goes nowhere near BofA until the NFL has finished it's investigation.

I've seen it before and even showed my GF at the time when I found it. lol

I'm curious about this, but my instincts tell me "don't do it".

Correct.

The NFL has taken a lot of PR hits for how they've handled past incidents.  The smart thing for them to do now is to take everything seriously so they don't wind up getting burned again.  It might not be fair, but you can't blame them under the circumstances.

I didn't have to look hard - it was right in front of me. 

You can't be serious with this. You think an innocent Hurney would appreciate "living in peace" and being out of the spotlight because the people who only read headlines would think he's guilty because of perception? And you somehow think this is a resonable suggestion?

poo man....I gotta go to bed this is just ridiculous now

This isn't the same thing at all. You need to read more into this story before alluding they are at all similar. Seriously terrible choice

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
