And the two option years means NE can score a comp pick when he leaves

HOLY UNBELIEVABLE!!

 

Greg Hardy suspended 10 games without pay, per NFL

 

Long read from Schefter here

I know dallass wrote the contract to protect themselves from this but still....

 

HAHAHAHAHA 

Welp. So much for that idea Jerruh.

From the NFL's own statement.

@adbrandt: "The NFL concluded that Hardy violated the Personal Conduct Policy by using physical force against Nicole Holder in at least four instances"

IMO ten games is a pittance, then. Ban the son of a bitch.

 

EDIT: More info coming out.

@JasonLaCanfora: NFL says  he used physical force against her which caused her to land in a bathtub, threw her on a futon covered w/rifles...

 

@JasonLaCanfora: NFL also says Hardy put his hands on her throat and left visible mark and threw her against a wall. Pretty damning and disgusting stuff...

But Ray Rice can knock his fiance out cold on camera and get reinstated.

Darren Urban‏@Cardschatter<small class="time">1h1 hour ago</small>

GM Steve Keim on weighing off-field issues for prospects: "If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3, we'd probably diagnose it as an eating disorder."

Wonder if AP will get something similar.

Must have been because of the taxes.

@Rand_Getlin: WR Greg Jennings will sign with the #Dolphins, a source said. 

Some of the comments following the story...

Jay Feely: Tim Tebow 'single-worst QB I ever saw,' couldn't beat air

Interesting. Guess they learned a thing or 2 from the Ray Rice fiasco

 

 

NFL filed legal motions to gain access to exhibits in Hardy's case, and were successful. Those photos helped league determine facts.

Ooh. Where's Catts ? 

I wonder if some of these "exhibits" will be leaked before/if Hardy wins his appeal.  

How 'bout them Cowboys.

@MikeGarafolo: From me and @alexmarvez: Greg Hardy involved in verbal altercation with Cowboys teammate Davon Coleman today, per sources.

 

@MikeGarafolo: Sources say the argument between Hardy and Coleman began during conditioning drills. Teammates separated them. Full story coming.

Hardy probably not used to someone who can actually fight back.

During conditioning drills??  So he loses his temper during the heat of stretching? 

First there was yoga.

 

Then Hot Yoga.

 

The newest craze is Anger Yoga.

When I want to make a good first impression with an employer, I ALWAYS lay a couple haymakers on the new accounts receivable guy during the Icebreaker session of Employee Orientation.

Apparently Coleman called Hardy a woman beater and that was that.

 

Good to see Hardy pass this hurdle getting re acclimated into the NFL in what's sure to be the first of many more tests of his new found demeanor. 

 

This isn't ending well. 

Well there ya go. Hardy was just trying prove Coleman wrong, he's not JUST a woman beater, he beats up men as well. Toss this out Rog.

A likeable (maybe even honorable) Cowboy? Who'da thunk it!

Jerry Jones knew the following :

 

The NFL’s investigation concluded that Hardy violated the Personal Conduct Policy by using physical force against Nicole Holder in at least four instances. First, he used physical force against her which caused her to land in a bathtub. Second, he used physical force against her which caused her to land on a futon that was covered with at least four semi-automatic rifles. Third, he used physical force against her by placing his hands around Ms. Holder’s neck and applying enough pressure to leave visible marks. And fourth, he used physical force to shove Ms. Holder against a wall in his apartment’s entry hallway.

“The net effect of these acts was that Ms. Holder was severely traumatized and sustained a range of injuries, including bruises and scratches on her neck, shoulders, upper chest, back, arms and feet,” Commissioner Goodell wrote. “The use of physical force under the circumstances present here, against a woman substantially smaller than you and in the presence of powerful, military-style assault weapons, constitutes a significant act of violence in violation of the Personal Conduct Policy.”

 

...and he still signed Hardy to be a Dallas Cowboy.

 

Nice show of morals Jerry  

 

 

Mark Sanchez was quoted saying the reason Tim Tebow was brought to Philly was to be another camp arm while Sam Bradford is recovering. 

 

I've been trying to come up with an equivant to this. The best I could do:

 

Albert Pujols teaching Lester Hayes to sing with Hellen Keller monitoring the progress. 

Dion Jordan OUT for 2015 season

I never understood giving up those picks to move up for a guy who was awfully light to be a 3-4 OLB and asking him to play with his hand on the ground.

 

To his....."credit"(?), he didn't test positive, but one of his samples was considered "diluted", which is also a strike.

 

As for Sanchez, on the off chance he doesn't trip and fumble, he can at least throw the ball with a little accuracy, unlike Teblow.

Still kicking himself. His sister too.

@caplannfl: Greg Jennings signed a 2-year, $8 M deal with #Dolphins with $3 M fully guaranteed. $4 M in first season.

@RapSheet  ·  36m 36 minutes ago

He was a mid-first and is a part time role player ( albeit a very good one)

Seattle can't afford to tie up a big bag of cash to keep him - so maybe he flies south

4th rounder ?

One of his former DCs will try and bring him in...it's not like Atlanta and Jacksonville couldn't use the help!

Yup....Dan Quinn is in Atlanta now. Would make sense.

Crabtree is retiring.
http://espn.go.com/blog/green-...tom-crabtree-retires

All things considered, that's a lot better than I thought he'd do.

 The fake field goal against the Bears was one of the greatest plays.

@UTKevinAcee: We can officially move on. Philip Rivers has been told by the #Chargers he won't be traded. Extension talks ongoing.

Nice to start extension talks knowing that your club has given up on trying to sell your ass down the river.

James Jones has been released by the Raiders

His career might be done, unless Minnesota has some interest?

 

Hopefully he gets picked up by somebody

I'm surprised by his release.

He played in all 16 games last year with 73 receptions in 111 targets for 666 yards and 6 TD's, not overwelming but still solid production. 

 

The 9.1 yards/catch and 3 fumbles were not pawsative.
