From what I've seen, Hardy doesn't give a crap and I cannot see Pete and John taking this kind of attitude into the family. Hardy is a baller, but he's also a horrible human being that I think will be rejected by the fanbase.
Pass.

I've watched it, and yes I still want him. His "girlfriend" is a shameless and notorious groupie who made a number of baseless claims against Hardy. If Hardy had done the all the things that she alleged, and she legitimately thought that he was going to "kill (her)," she surely would have prosecuted him to the fullest extent of the law (as her attorney also alluded to in that clip). Instead, when Hardy requested a jury trial, she chose not to pursue it and gladly took a nice fat check instead....which tells you all you need to know about her credibility and motives. Hardy has already paid a huge price, both legally and in the court of public opinion, now it's time to move on and get back to football. Bringing him in on a short term (even 1-year) deal where he's motivated to rehab both his football value and public image makes a ton of sense for both sides, and if he screws up again, you just cut him.Hawk-Lock":1c0wvnlo said:http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=11513357
Watch that link and tell me if you still want him. This guy is 100x worst than Ray Rice/Adrian Peterson/Aldon Smith/etc.
This is the truth. Some teams may be in a better position to help someone, too.JSeahawks":pnlr203p said:If he can help us win Super Bowls, sign him up. I'd prefer the team was made up of all good guys, but i know in reality that's not the case.

I think this is what that Panther fan was getting at.
But you know... ESPN and whatnot.
