From some of the responses here, it seems that most of you are reading the "headlines" and then forming some opinion from there, instead of reading the actual details of the case. If you read the details Hardy was the actual victim of a scam. He purposely brought up guns and Gisele because it's his way of expressing his disgust or giving the long finger to the media and the public who were quick to convict him of a crime, he more than likely, did not commit. I take Hardy's comments no more seriously than I would take Sherman, Suggs or any scrub with the Jets who like to trash talk. It's just friendly competition banter, nice discussion for fans, nothing that Brady is probably remotely even thinking about.
1) Don't talk about another player's wife or girlfriend
2) Especially if you've got a long history of domestic violence and violence toward women in your past.
You say "opportunist", I say "she was paid off, and didn't testify at the second hearing, which is why the charges were dropped." The same thing that happened with Terrell Suggs, btw.
"Some people" should stop blaming the damned victim, and call these scumbags out for the abusers that they are.
1. If Jason Witten made a similar comment, this isn't a big deal. Brady isn't just married to any woman, he's married to Gisele, a public figure, who poses in underwear all the time. It's no surprise that player would mention her, surprised it took this long.
2. Long history of domestic violence and violence against women? - Where is this coming from? One case, a dropped one at that, is not a long history of anything. Stop it, already.
So if your girlfriend is Ronda Rousey and she beat you up and traumatized you as bad as Greg Hardy supposedly did to that money-seeker, you would just take the money and run? You wouldn't try to throw her in jail and then collect some cash from a civil suit, especially after another judge (a woman, might I add) just found him guilty? If the evidence is so much, as some of you are claiming, she would've won the appeal easily, right?
If you are a victim, money is the last thing on your mind. That girl is not a victim, she wanted money and she got it. That's why Hardy doesn't give a crap about domestic abuse because he just got railroaded by some lying opportunist. I can't say I blame him either.
This was a girl in a relationship with Hardy. Just because there's no video evidence doesnt mean its not true. Hardy is a nut job. Why do you think he fell so far down the draft? A guy that was projected to be a top 5 pick getting drafted in the 6th rd??? Something not right.
So every girlfriend of a player, screams "HE HIT ME" was abused without question? I can't believe some of the response here. Hardy fell in the draft because of injuries and stuff related to lack of production on the field, not because he beat up some chick in college as you trying to make people believe. Read up on the case.
So YOU have the lowdown on the whole thing, huh?
I guess the District Judge who heard the case and all the evidence and then convicted him should be ignored for YOUR and BlueberrySodaCoffee's expert analyses.
God Bless the internet.
At least I followed and read about the case. You are just up here making some blind assumptions because he is (1) not a Patriot, so you don't care as much (2) because he complimented Brady's wife.
God bless the internet is right.
Brilliant.
"Just an overreaction from the media and fans ........"
Oh, and a Judge who heard all the evidence from the police and both attorneys and convicted him.
But don't let FACTS get in the way of your internet tough guy rant from 1,500 miles away.
Tough guy rant? lol, same could be said for you. What FACTS, are you referring to? A judge's conviction? I'm laughing my tail off. My post is only a defense for a man who seems innocent of any domestic abuse. It's the same defense I had for Brady deflating balls. I can't say whether they did it or not, but looking at both cases it appears that they are innocent.
FACTS? The judge was a woman, who convicted him because she was likely biased against men/athletes beating up chicks and getting away with it. There are NO FACTS to support the fact that he supposedly beat up that chick. If there are some that you found, please be more than happy to share them with me.
There was the 911 call and witness accounts conflicting with that girl's story. Read up on the case, perhaps, you would understand my stance on it. You sound like most of the nation that tried to convict Brady of deflating balls without knowing all the FACTS.
In the one trial Hardy had (the bench trial), he was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
He appealed the verdict, as is his right to do, and charges were dropped when the victim suddenly became completely unavailable (but was also seen on various shopping sprees, which I am sure is just a coincidence).
If a man beat my tail, I wouldn't be on shopping sprees blowing up all that cash he transferred into my bank account. I would be in court making sure he never plays another down in the NFL and then I would've filed a civil suit against him. She found herself a moron and shook him for that cash. Anybody actually following the case can see that.
What makes you think she didn't have any significant injuries? There are pictures of her injuries, which the prosecutor refuses to release to the public. The NFL requested access to those pictures and was able to view them (but not, like, make any copies or anything).
I think both Hardy and the NFL want those pictures kept under lock and key for good. I also think those pictures were the determining factor in the bench trial.
If there were significant injuries, we would've heard details about how they found her, in the police report and during the testimony.
