I just saw this post in the review thread, really sucks for the people at Bungie. I am surprised any devs would still be willing to tie their bonuses to metacritic scores.

Because it wasn't on tape and didn't embarrass the league/team. #NFLCARES
NFL should suspend players (with pay) that arrested or facing charges in any violent crime/DUI/intent to deal crime until the legal process is played out. No matter how long it takes.
Players get their pay and the league keeps its image and passes the problems to the court system.

The way it should be
For Bob Kraft I will cover up anything. For anyone else no.
Holy crap really? I'm assuming he never served jail time, what happened?

Because we're America's team.
This was explained a while back. The way the NC legal system works is most cases are bench trials first where there is no jury, only a judge who rules on the case (this is a cost/resource saving measure by the state). He was found guilty of misdemeanor charges by the judge. He appealed and will now have a jury trial. For all intents and purposes, in the NC legal system, the judge's "verdict" is thrown out and Hardy reverts to innocent until proven guilty (by a jury of his peers).

harbaugh rehabilitated him. he now only beats members of his own team after getting drunk
So he was found guilty of beating up his ex girlfriend and threatening to kill her is what you are telling us.
Harbs also never said anything about Bengals players.
Technically speaking that trial never occurred.
Well, until Goodell decides he wants to suspend him, as long as he's available to the staff he'll play.
It's much easier to direct one's anger at a corporation than to actually try to affect real change.

This 8 game suspension thing is crap. #FreeGordon
The Bengals, at the nadir of their "we employ all scumbags" actually found him reprehensible enough to cut him.
Jimbo Hardon and all his "we'd never employ a woman beater" theatrics...no problem with the thug.

Gordon is going to get reinstated and then immediately suspended for a year for the DUI.
ALLEGED woman beater. Alleged.

I don't see any way the Chiefs can keep it within 3 TDs, unless somehow an atomic bomb goes off midgame, destroying 2 of the 3 teams I hate the most.
Pretty sure he plead that down didn't he? So no need for the alleged.
A Redsox broadcasters son was a meat head roid rager with a track record of countless violent offenses and the court system did nothing until it resulted in him murdering his girlfriend.

I read about that guy. Man he was so fucked up.
I don't actually remember, but I think he accepted mediation. I could be wrong.
0-0 tie
Hoping the Rams can pull the upset and bury TB 2 games into the season
The thing with Ben is there were never any charges filed, no legal process to preempt. Hardy and his lawyers have been pretty goddamn adamant from day one he did nothing wrong. So if the Panthers or the NFL suspend him, and he is eventually cleared of all charges by a jury, then it's lawsuit city. He could claim tens of millions in damages considering this is a contract year for him.
Dudes rap sheet was literally a book..

Then give him a paid suspension until the charges are cleared.
He gets a paid vacation until his affairs are in order.
Redskins?
Is this the same team named after the color of shit?

A paid suspension just hurts the team.
When this all started, before even the bench trial, the general consensus among fans and people who follow the team was that guilty or not, Hardy was finished in Carolina. Richardson doesn't have the patience for this kind of thing, especially when Cam and Keek have big contracts coming up.

You're a supporter of stupidity going by every post you make so it's not a big stretch.
So what.
Next man up. These players are pros and most people would face the same issues with their employment.
Isn't that the point? If you're a star and you fuck up, you hurt your team and yourself, not the fans.
I think they should suspend, and donate the gameday check to a charity.
