In Arena League play, he is facing opponents just about as tough and strong as the girl he whooped and threw onto a bed covered with guns. Let's take his "destroying" with a few grains of salt. 

He was going to destroy the CFL. He was going to destroy MMA. He was going to destroy the NFC East. He was going to destroy the NFL.

About all he destroyed was his potential and millions of dollars.

Let it and him go. He's just a tiny footnote and a cautionary tale now -- one we've heard ad nauseum.

If Hardy was the player ya'll make him out to be he'd still be in Dallas.

When Pep was Hardy’s age, he was walking into BOA as a Bear to posters which read “Judas Peppers”.

Not sure where you're going here. I'm saying that the Cowboys gave his history a pass and he still couldn't cut it on the field. He's an okay DE and locker room circus, not some elite player that's just been blacklisted like this fanbase seems to believe.

“okay DE”?  Nate Solder is now the highest paid OL in the league, and Hardy did this to him after over a year off

Even Hall of Fame baseball players spend time in the minors after time off before returning to the Show.

This is just one of many reasons why living in Richmond, VA is sad from a sports perspective. We literally have VCU basketball and a bunch of poo like this. Rejoice in the fact that if you live within an hour of Charlotte it’s easy to get to see real professional sports. Here, not so much. 

Yeah, moral of the story is dont live in richmond folks

 

if you live in VA go live in a quiet safe small town

Oh yeah, a few of them do. But Hardy isn't Hall of Fame material. Never was, never will be. Hopefully he has found gainful employment in the Arena League. I don't wish any bad to the guy, but his fall into obscurity was pretty much his own doing.

Uhhhh.....but that's not even remotely normal or part of the plan in the NFL since there is no farm system.

What’s truly not remotely normal is a man being innocent in the eyes of the law but paying infinite-fold for either the sins, political aspirations, or to cover the ass of others, in a league where outlaws (and even murderers) have thrived for decades.

How do you know?  He is our single season sacks leader, not future Hall of Famer Julius Peppers, and tied with HALL OF FAMER Kevin Greene-of whom Hardy is STILL, right now, six years younger than Greene was in 1998.

That "record" he holds depends greatly on a single game where he had four sacks against an Atlanta Falcons tackle of dubious capabilities. in comparison to Peppers and Greene, Hardy isn't worthy of even sniffing their jockstraps. 

Really, why all this love for Hardy? Could you actually be him posting on this site?

He's not innocent in the eyes of the law. You don't pay the victim to disappear and suddenly become innocent. 

You have a very strange obsession.

Yes he is.  You don’t make a call like this, http://m.espn.com/general/play?id=10934434 , have the case ultimately thrown out, and suddenly become guilty.

As do you, by simply being here-on this site, in this thread, etc.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
