Hardy Update

[M]

... "No gun was involved," said Hardy. "I don't know where she got that from. That's something that me and my father discussed. The only problem is I feel even if I'm at home and I feel I have to protect myself he actually convinced me to go get one, but there wasn't one at the time there."

Hardy quickly saw the negative perception the incident created about him publicly and it was troublesome to him that he could not rectify that perception."The only thing is I shouldn't have been there," Hardy admitted. "It sort of feels like every time I go home something negative, I'm always on the end of it. Now I'm in Buffalo and this is the best thing to happen to me since the birth of my son and I just want to get on the right track in Buffalo. This is something that will never happen again and nothing will ever be blown out of proportion again because I will never be in this situation." ...

Good to hear! Hopefully this is his last blip as a Bill.

[justasportsfan]

OMG!OMG! he's lying!!!

[ParanoidAndroid]

That is what I was hoping he would do. His first statement wasn't specific enough. :whew:

[justasportsfan]

I think she said Gum. Hardy pointed a gum on his father. What a thug.

[raphael120]

Hey, if he has to learn it the hard way, so be it. At least nothing major came from this, but I think he is starting to realize he grew up around a bunch of a trash and he's got to rise above and start a whole new life in Buffalo and leave the past behind and the bad influences behind.

[patmoran2006]

Have to learn more about it over time, but he certainly knows the right things to say. thats for sure.

[justasportsfan]

and start a whole new life in Buffalo and leave the past behind and the bad influences behind.until his contract runs out and cheap Ralphy doesn't resign him and he ends up signing with the Colts :ill:

We get the point dude, you like to mock the pessismists but damn, it's getting excessive.

[hydro]

he ends up signing with the Colts :ill:

Boy that just came right out of thin air...

[justasportsfan]

na, just the sky is falling over reactive and the Ralph is cheap posters.

[Mitchy moo]

At least he knows better than to head back toward trouble, that in itself means alot. He is happy to be in Buffalo and get working, I love that.

Fingers crossed.

[madness]

Damn nosey neighbor. I have a feeling mybills was involved in this somehow.

[feelthepain]

Yeah I often walk up on an argument between 2 people and just out of the blue imagine there is gun involved. Happens all the time.

[THATHURMANATOR]

We get the point dude, you like to mock the pessismists but damn, it's getting excessive.
Not enough IMO. The pessimists are 100x worse.

You're right. People in this country never get falsely accussed of anything.

[feelthepain]

You're right. People in this country never get falsely accussed of anything.

Yeah and people in this country with money never pay their way out of trouble.

[justasportsfan]

LIAR

[mayotm]

Yeah and people in this country with money never pay their way out of trouble.Agreed. However, since neither of us were there, doesn't it make more sense to not pass judgement?

[Bill Cody]

Does this mean we won't be drafting 4th anymore?:scratch:

[feelthepain]

Agreed. However, since neither of us were there, doesn't it make more sense to not pass judgement?

I'm not passing judgement, I'm simply making a point.

[justasportsfan]

I'm not passing judgement, I'm simply making a point.
Liar. You're implied he lied that he could've lied about having a gun and that the witness was telling the truth and that he could've paid someone.

[feelthepain]

Liar. You're implied he lied that he could've lied about having a gun and that the witness was telling the truth and that he could've paid someone.

You have a real tough time with facts don't you. I never said anybody "did" anything. Simply made the point it "could be" that way. PMSing again princess??

[justasportsfan]

You have a real tough time with facts don't you.
haha! Says the tard who has a hard time accepting the FACT that the bills were a better team the last 2 years and that .....

Dick is 4-0 vs. fins sweep Fact!!!! :snicker:

[TigerJ]

It was bubble blower in the shape of a gun.

Well, whatever happened, I hope it's behind him. I do worry a little about one thing he said. In essence he was talking about how he couldn't trust people around him. He's not going back to Ft. Wayne as much because he couldn't trust people (like maybe his father) and that his circle needs to get smaller. Maybe he's right about his father, but the tenor of the statement isn't very encouraging. He needs to look for some people he can trust. He can't just shut everyone out. That's not a sign of good emotional health IMHO.

"What is THAT?"
"It's a gun."
"It's your finger."
"No it's not, it's a gun!"
"Let me see it then."
"Get out of here, I'm not gonna show you my gun!"

"you said your finger was a gun"

great movie.

You have a hard enough time "seeing" things at your youthful age. Imagine how much harder it will be at 73.

[Tatonka]

i believe him.

[Romes]

good enough for me. now let him play some football.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Let's hope he can do what he says and is able to go out and just concentrate on football from here on out.

Cutting ties with some of the people that they grew up around who can be bad influences is often one of the toughest things that a young guy coming out of tough circumstances into the NFL has to do. The guys who can do it successfully are often the ones who go on to have successful careers on and off the field. The ones who can't often end up repeatedly getting into trouble, like C.Henry, P.Jones, etc.

So, obviously, I'm pulling for Hardy to be able to be successful. And, I agree that it would probably help if he could find some people that he can trust to support him in this, even if those people are his teammates. I hope that some guys on the team like Whitner, etc. can take him under their wing and make him feel like he does have some people around him who he can trust and who will be there for him when he needs them.
