Greg Hardy wants to play for the Patriots.

Brett Kavanaugh is really inspiring people!

“Bed of guns? It was a drinking game we used to play!”

 

[Deus Irae]

However the other is an aggressive, irrational, violent human being with abuse in his history.

Josh has an addictive substance issue.

One of those flares out much more quietly.

I don't care about their off-the-field problems, beyond how they impact the team. The rest of that crap is none of my business, and none of yours.

Of the two distractions, a worst case scenario would will have more of a locker room impact stemming from Hardy, regardless of suspension implications.

Thug persona snapping for a second time in NE would be a fire fueled by a national media **** storm.

Gordon is an addict, and a smoker, who's now in a state where pot is legal. Hardy is a guy who beats the **** out of his girlfriend. That's obviously a less difficult situation to avoid, and an easier one for teams to deal with. What's more of an issue is that Hardy is known to be an ******* in the locker room, which is why I said that the Patriots probably don't want the added drama with Gordon already there.

sign the beater?

Gordon’s unfortunate circumstance of self destructive harm. A sad ending of a last chance to do right.

Let’s hope he can dial into something bigger than himself and forge a path that sticks.

Ehhh....to a large extent I agree with you, but I think most would draw a line somewhere. You wouldn't?

 

[Rob0729]

Not going to happen. And if Hardy was still a really good player, he would still have a job. Look at Jerry Jones employing him after the trial was over. Someone would pay him if he was good and he isn't.

I don't think Kraft would sign a check to pay him even if he was Khalil Mack good.

 

[Viper652]

I thought he was all in on his boxing career. This is surprising

 

[Jackson 2]

I hope he dies tonight. Or sooner...

 

[Tuck]

Reading through this made me remember a rumor from the 2016 season that placed Hardy in the Gillette offices just before he announced that he was giving MMA a shot. Curious indeed that he says he wants to play here now.

I think this says it best:

 

[Tony2046]

Doubt he possesses Cat like quickness

I think you should worry more about whether he possesses a cat or not.

Oh my!

 

[PatsFan2]

Didn't he tear Nate Solders triceps or biceps with a nice Rip move?? Pats could use a DLineman like that natural pass rusher. After Gordon I think anyone is possible.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Seems like a pretty bad guy. And even if he was remorseful, transformed into a better person i doubt he could still rush the passer.

Committing crimes, or potentially committing crimes, is a public interest. Assaulting a woman is not “none of our business.” It is something that we, as a society, are free to know about, take steps to prevent, and otherwise act on by means of the criminal justice system.

 

[Dagg]

He was really good at beating his man as a push rusher just a shame he was also good at beating his girlfriend...there is just no tolerance for a guy like this in todays climate.

Or by not patronizing his employer, if you don't want some piece of your dollars to go into the pockets of a woman-beater. (Some people will care about that, some won't, and there are decent reasons to take either position, but to say categorically it's none of anyone's business is ridiculous.)
