Scoutssay that he had off field issues all the time, but one should look into such things before one regurgitates rhetoric and then labels another person.

Hardy beat me up last month for letting an old lady cut in line at the movie theater. To which he said "Is James Hardy gonna have to choke a bitch?". I don't remember what happened after that because the guy knocked me out cold. If that isn't an off field problem then I don't know what is.

James Hardy released from jail after alleged domestic incident

However, back to reality. Hardy was charged of domestic assault against his girlfriend. Ironically this was the first time I looked into what happened to Hardy, and quite frankly its enough to make me stay away from him. I don't care if he's 6'6. Violence against a women is unacceptable, especially against someone that has trusted you enough to stay by your side for 7 years.

And the thing is, he's not even our best option at Reciever. If we take a Reciever at 21 then we'd be better off with Thomas, Kelly, or Sweed. Hardy, with character issues aside, is the fourth best reciever on our hit list. And thats assuming that the front office doesn't rank your boy Jordy ahead of him.

I don't care so much if a guy has off the field issues. Everyone has problems and sometimes athletes get exposed due to the fact that they're high profile guys. However sometimes the off field issues go beyond the scope of what is acceptable from a decent human being and in my opinion Hardy falls beyond that scope.

Besides, if his lying ability is any indication of how he'll perform as a pro then I don't see how anyone could stand to draft him. If anything the following examples indicate a lack of awareness.

"According to the police report, Hardy then told the officers that Nolan had gotten "into his face" and that he "pushed her away with his hand into her neck and that is where the red mark came from." He also admitted that he attempted to disconnect the phone, on speaker phone mode at the time, but that he didn't know who Nolan was trying to call, the report said."

"At the scene police also saw a telephone broken into four pieces with the cord unplugged from its outlet, the report said. Hardy said that his infant son had probably broken the phone when he was playing with it."
