NFL is weighing a suspension of New England quarterback Tom Brady that could span up to one season.
While I recognize that a lot of that may be wishful thinking division rival, that's a stunner right there.

I would think that a woman would be more sensitive to Domestic Violence and may be more aggressive in prosecuting than an old man might be

THANK YOU!

Why would you think that??
NorthHawk wrote:Because they seem to be more sensitive and in tune about DV than us often callous males.
The difference is women often take these things personally.
No matter how PC we are, us men for the most part are more used to dealing with physical threats and don't see things in the same light.

I find it interesting that she's changes her story enough to get back into the news once it's clear she's been cycled out of it. If he really threatened to "hit her like he did his girlfriend" why didn't she lead with that version?

Also, she still did not see what happened during the altercation so I don't see how this changes much. Based on what I have heard this week I am going to side with the Hawks, Clark, and the DA who handled the case. The DA's story basically backs up what the Hawks have been saying all along, DV did not occur. Clearly the DA's conversation with Hurt led her to conclude that what the initial police report said is not what actually transpired. Hurt still has a voice and she has had ample opportunity to come out and tell the world what actually happened in the hotel room that night and she has said nothing. I understand that she doesn't have to but short of that happening there isn't much that these other 'witnesses' can come up with that would cause me to further question what happened.

Am I correct that there were no charges pressed, and no charges pending??

If the Hawks were limiting their questioning only to those interviewed in the criminal investigation, then why didn't they question the investigator herself (the DA)?
This looks to me like the Hawks went into this "investigation" of theirs with an agenda: To find a reason to justify drafting Clark. They talked to a couple of counselors, the ones that they knew in advance that had recommended reducing the charges, what they thought, heard what they wanted to hear and figured that they had sufficient cover to fend off any criticism, and called it good. I do not see this exhaustive investigation into the incident that Schneider was eluding to when he was first asked.
mykc14 wrote:I have no idea who the Hawks talked to, how much effort they put into the investigation, what protocol they usually do in situations like these, or if they were just looking for the 'right' answers. To me not too much of that matters. For all I know they have a specific protocol for situations like this and they talked to who they would normally talk to in situations like this and got answers that allowed them to draft him. If their normal protocol led them to answers they didn't like maybe they would have asked others or taken him off their board. Or they could have known exactly who would tell them what they wanted, talked to those people only and heard what they wanted to hear to fend off any criticism. The truth is we will never know for sure. Here's what I know. Pete and John decided (at least publicly) that he didn't commit DV. The DA covering the case decided that he didn't commit DV. Clark himself has said he didn't commit DV. The victim has not come out publicly and said he hit her. At the same time she has not said that he didn't hit her either, not that she has to do either of those but if she did publicly come out and say he did I would at least be willing to re-evaluate my view. This wasn't some circumstance where they 'settled out of court' in order for him to avoid charges. This was the DA, after talking to all parties involved, deciding to come out and say he didn't hit her. For all we know Hurt told the DA "I was lying. He didn't hit me. I was out of control and he was trying to hold me down..." If that were the case it is no wonder she didn't talk to the witnesses she didn't need to. Nothing they could have told her would have shed any light on what actually happened in that hotel room.

Absolutely there are, but I would be pretty hard pressed to say Hurt was one, as at this point, 2nd round NFL rookies aren' flush with tons of money, and those would be some pretty ling odds to make a lot of money ( maybe four years down the road) and I doubt the MOTHER, and the DA, as well as school officials, coaches and remaining student body would also go along with it. Usually when an athlete, especially a star athlete gets caught up in something like this they are nit just jettisoned from the team, but the school as well, not only was Clark allowed to continue his schooling, but worked out for scouts at Michigan's pro day.... Lot of thing don't add up across the board on this thing, and I doubt ANY of us will ever get the "truth" out if ANY of the parties involved.

I have gone from the belief a man is a just a piece of manure to hit a woman, to some woman just ask for it;
