Pictures of Cowboys' Greg Hardy's assault on girlfriend, Stephen A Smith to host SportsCenter by himself after publicly supporting Hardy
- Page 1 of 1
Barefoot and frightened, Nicole Holder walked as fast as she could through the darkness, and the moment she saw the cops she ran. She headed west on Fifth Street toward North Church, away from the Charlotte., N.C., apartment of Greg Hardy, a star defensive end then with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. Minutes earlier he had, she said, thrown her against a tile bathtub wall, tossed her on a futon covered in assault rifles, and choked her until she told him to “kill me so I don’t have to.”
Officer Jeffrey Kendrick ran after her, ordering her to stop. Holder turned and walked toward him, and Kendrick asked her why she was crying.
“It doesn’t matter,” she told him. “Nothing is going to happen to him anyways.”
A year and a half after Hardy was arrested and charged with attacking Holder, it’s clear that she was mostly right. Last year, Hardy was convicted of assault in a bench trial, but the charges were dismissed on appeal and, it was reported yesterday, expunged. He missed more than a season of football, but went on to sign with the Dallas Cowboys, for whom he’s become a bigger star than ever despite (or perhaps because of) a series of incidents ranging from making sexist comments in a press conference to going after a coach on the sidelines. Jerry Jones, the Cowboys’ billionaire owner, calls him a “real leader” who has the respect of all his teammates and inspires America’s Team.
And, crucially, no photos or videos ever came out. Police and prosecutorial records that detail what happened that night have largely been kept from the public—though not from the NFL.Some really bad pics in the article, so you've been warned:

Fuck the ESPN and the NFL.
Everyone involved siding with Hardy is a piece of shit but these are organizations who've kept rapists and child beaters in the league/spotlight so what do you expect.
You forgot to say fuck the cops/prosecutors too

There an online petition or anything similar to ask that SAS be kicked off the air. This isn't the first time I've been absolutely disgusted by his bullshit.
i'm not sure that the NFL can actually do anything to him if he's found innocent in the court of law
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti'm not sure that the NFL can actually do anything to him if he's found innocent in the court of lawUhm, the Cowboys can outright cut him. If the commissioner felt so compelled to suspend Brady over a complete lack of evidence during the deflation bullshit, then I am sure he has grounds to suspend him based on a morality clause. They are outright choosing not to do anything.
I need to make a stat chart you see for athletes but instead for all the bullshit I've seen SAS say on air or in writing. Anyone got some real gems they want to add?
No why would they? They actually lessened the suspension.
Plus Jerry thinks "he's a real leader." So there you go.

By K@do Go To Postlost all respect for stephen A. Smith.
are the cowboys doing anything about this pos?
no cause he's good as fuck.
By domino Go To Postno cause he's good as fuck.So, Ray Lewis status? Wonderful.
Got all serious with a little OTL piece on Hardy at the beginning, somber SAS. Now its Wilbon and SAS chuckling about the Warriors and Cavs.
By domino Go To Postno cause he's good as fuck.Awesome. Lets see how far nfl players can get away with.
By Fenderputty Go To PostFTFYYup, there is a reason Ray Rice isn't in the NFL right now and Greg Hardy is.
I mean if Ray Lewis can straight kill a man.......
The ironic thing is that people seem to care more about Vick who did his time for his crimes than this..

Is anyone surprised by Stephen A Smith's stance on domestic violence when he bent over backwards to carry water for Floyd Mayweather?
Remember how Keith Law got suspended for making a sarcastic comment about evolution but Curt Schilling stays on after the garbage he spews about Muslims?
ESPN knows where its bread is buttered, and it's conservatives who care way too much about the SEC and the NFL

Adrian Peterson is a far better analog.
Ya'll know SAS is going to be apologizing in about a week and ESPN will get its ratings from this episode of Sportcenter and SAS will get a little unpaid vacation that he'll be reimbursed for in his next bonus.......
This shit is a science at this point
He's a piece of shit as is ESPN but their exploiting this story for ratings.

As an executive it's irresponsible at this point to not have some blowhard that will say outlandish shit and take an oppositional standpoint on everything in mainstream media. They're cyborgs and social media is their fuel.
The money must feel so good though. Like stealing good but when someone just gives it up because they don't have a choice or self control not to.

By Fenderputty Go To PostStories like this make me glad I'm not really an NFL fan.I used to be. It's bullshit like this, amongst so many other utterly ridiculous happenings, that made me pretty much give up on giving a shit. I'll watch a game here and there with friends but beyond that... Fuck the NFL and everything it stands for.
Hardy should be out of the league. NFL continues to have this issue. Players should have due process, but certain evidence is overbearing even if the victim decides to not press charges.
And Deadspin continues to make investigative journalism feel slimy. Posting those images was going quite far. There's plenty of evidence against Hardy without exploiting the girl for clicks.

They brought this up in the article too
Ray Rice has been public speaking about DV recently...

I hope Ray Rice is sincere. I really do. It's not gonna get him his job back, but it'll make him a better person at least.

He is a person who made a mistake and paid for it. It could be PR and it might be real. I am choosing to believe him... mostly because he is making an effort in high schools.
Innocent until proven guilty-lack of knowledge & information is just ignorance-the injust/prejudicial treatment of [different] categories of people is discrimination

Hardy and his ilk annoy the ever living fuck out of me. You know who else continually tries to paint himself a victim? War Machine.
As far as we know Ray Rice hit his girlfriend once, and has at least been saying and doing the right things since. Same with his girlfriend. The only reason he's not playing anymore is because his talent doesn't warrant taking the plunge.
what Greg Hardy did to that poor girl sounds like some shit out of a mob movie. Ripped off her necklace, threw it in the toilet, slammed the lid on her hands and arms when she goes to fish it out, drags her from room to room by her hair, tosses her on bed of guns, and then puts his hands around her neck.
I am a dallas cowboys fan, and im not going to quit being a fan because of Hardy, but if Hardy were to break both his legs and never play football again I wouldn't shed a tear.
Also wtf at the comment about conservatives and the NFL? Get out of here with that shit.

I"m trying to think of one thing that girl could have done to warrant the pictures deadspin leaked, and I can't think of one. Like what piece of information does Hardy think could shed light on the situation and make everyone go, "oohhh yeah I would have beat the shit out of her too"
Rice is definitely out there trying to make amends too. Something Hardy is doing the opposite of. True piece of shit.
