Greg Hardy and the chance in Bengals mentality

The Bengals used to be a laughing stock... for a couple years, it seemed like every other week there was a player getting arrested or in some sort of trouble.  The team changed mentality and seems to value players who have good character as well footballs skills.  They are a very well run franchise and have a great deal of respect.

Not just the wins, but how happy are you with the current "state of the franchise"?  Also, how would you feel as a Bengals fan if Hardy were on the team and those pictures came out?

I wanted him based on his football ability as well as everything is an accusation and still unproven in a court of law and the appeal was won by Hardy is my understanding.

I have not seen the pics, but I am sure they are not pretty. My issue is I am not 100% certain he was guilty and I see too much of rush to guilt versus innocent until proven guilty in the country. The NFLPA  supported him back into the NFL and the NFL complied based on far more facts that we have at our disposal.
