Hardy appeal

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Legality says the nfl over stepped. 1 to 2 games would make everyone look good. 10 games is rediculous. Big ben raped someone and only got 4 games. Hardy only gets 2 games or less or the nfl pa sues. The supposed incident occurred before the nfl decided to get tough on these issues.

That'll depend on Brady's suspension as well. If his 4 games holds up we won't see him, they have a bye week 4.

Never thought of it that way, but it makes sense like you guys are predicting that it comes out late Friday.

 

[fordman84]

The NFL probably does want to send bad news out late Friday. There is a question about doing that in business, do you want to release news after markets close on Friday or not. Some say that means people can think about it all weekend, while others say that it gives people time to digest and not panic sell.

Not anything to sell here, though. I can't think of a big event that could take the heat off of NFL news. The last thing they want is the Hardy appeal to be all the bloggers can write about.

That's what will happen regardless of when the decision is released.

The Friday thing historically is also based on the fact that people may be away or doing other things or just fucking drunk off their asses. So even if there are news reports about something not as many people pay attention...

I don't think the NFL cares if it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, or any other day. The NFL releases story's to get us talking. They'll sit on the story long enough to get us asking when the outcome will be announced, make us a it a day or so talking about the possibilities, then release it so we talk more about it. Won't be surprised if the NFL gives it's ruling after game 3 of the GSW/Cavs series.
What was the last bad story to hurt the NFL brand.

I don't think so with stories like this. the last thing they want is people talking about domestic violence charges against NFL players (or owners sons)

Has the NFL tried to hold the others 100 DV stories for late Friday releases? Maybe they have, I really don't know, I just don't think they think they have too. I've read these decisions take a little less than two weeks if they release today it would actually be ahead of the normal schedule.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy missed the third day of OTAs in Week 1 because he was in Washington D.C. appealing his 10-game suspension.

Hardy went through the process and is now awaiting a decision. So when should we be expecting to hear on that from the NFL?

COO Stephen Jones doesn't know a specific date, but he believes it could be sometime within two weeks after the appeal occurred.

“I think it’s usually two weeks, is the time frame,” Jones said after OTAs on Wednesday. “I don’t think it’s a rule or anything, but that’s usually what you expect. Sometimes it can be sooner.”

Judging by that, we could see a decision in between the end of OTAs on June 11 and before mandatory minicamp on June 16. The NFL hasn't set an exact date, but be on the lookout when this time frame comes around.

There's a possibility that Hardy's suspension could get drastically reduced from 10 to two games. Big news could be on its way for the Cowboys defense.



When the Cowboys expect a decision on Greg Hardy's appeal

If they drop the suspension to 2 games, hope everyone loaded up on the over while it was 9.5.

They have no control over announcing DV stories; they happen when they happen. Simply talking about an appeal here. Not sure why you are so adamant about arguing against this. Someone brought it up. A couple of us agreed it could happen. Don't think anyone was really saying anything with any certainty.

I just don't think the NFL cares what day it is. I don't think they take it into account on when they announce. Just the way I feel, doesn't mean I'm right, and I'm not really trying to argue.

There never was a right or wrong.

"Would not be surprised if" is code for I'm barely committed to this opinion.

Or it means we all have our own opinions, and unless we sit down with Roger and ask him the direct question none of us really know.
Now if we did ask him if it matters to him on announcing this type of info M -Th, he will most likely say no even if it was a very large concern.

I have heard 2 games as well. I have not been excited about a Dallas Cowboys team since I cognizant enough to care about this team as much as I do. The last time Dallas won a super bowl I was barely out of diapers.

I have high hopes for this team.

So I guess we see a decision by this Friday? Was hoping for earlier, just anxious to know the decision. An extra 6-8 games of Hardy would be HUGE for this defense.

No doubt. Also allows Gregory to ease into things instead of getting thrown to the wolves right off the bat.

He should ease his way into it ...otherwise the wolves could get hurt.
