ganesh Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Does anyone know what is the status of Hargrove. When does his suspension end (Before training camp or after the regular season begins ?). Will he be a UFA or last year won't count and will he back with the Bills ? He was a good situational pass rusher who also excited the crowd...He would have helped us last year in Schoebels absence ?
Solomon Grundy Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I heard he was on the "Cannibis tour" with Bill Maher.
papazoid Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 last i heard....his suspension is over......he has been re-instated by the NFL in Feb 2009......he is currently a Free Agent.......and the Rochester, NY police are looking for him for violating conditions of his plea agreement.

I don't think Buffalo wants to sign anyone with a lifetime ban hanging over their heads. JMO
The Dean Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I don't think Buffalo wants to sign anyone with a lifetime ban hanging over their heads. JMO Well, I would agree the Bills may no longer be interested in Hargrove, as he seems to be a screw-up, but he is hardly facing a lifetime ban.
Steely Dan Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Well, I would agree the Bills may no longer be interested in Hargrove, as he seems to be a screw-up, but he is hardly facing a lifetime ban. What comes after a one year ban?
Fewell733 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 What comes after a one year ban? another 1 year ban?
The Dean Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 What comes after a one year ban? Well, the way you worded your post, you suggested Hargrove is facing a lifetime ban. He is not. His suspension if over with. He is facing no ban, as far as I know. I don't believe there is a definitive list of the time of suspension for subsequent actions, but I might be wrong. I believe you are suggesting that Hargrove might be up for a lifetime ban on his next infraction. I believe that would depend on the nature of the infraction. If Michael Vick and Pacman Jones have shown us anything, it is you can do some really bad stuff, and still not be banned for life, in the NFL.

He already has another infraction -- contempt of court -- for not fulfilling his community service obligations as part of the deal the judge gave him after the altercation with the Rochester City Police officer.
Lou Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 He already has another infraction -- contempt of court -- for not fulfilling his community service obligations as part of the deal the judge gave him after the altercation with the Rochester City Police officer. He is still in rehab and he is worried about ever leaving rehab due to his addiction to drugs. That is also why he didn't do his do his community service.
KollegeStudnet Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Its a shame...Hargrove was a great player...to this day I wonder why players always have to have a nightlife filled with breaking some law or laws....ala Marshawn...Pacman...Benson...etc....etc...etc...
The Dean Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Hargrove was a great player? I had the same reaction. Hargrove was far from a great player, in his short stint with the Bills. He was, on occasion, an exciting player and he seemed to have a passion for the game, when he played. There were times he showed a knack for pressuring the QB. I thought he had some potential, had he stayed out of trouble, and worked hard at being a football player.

He didn't have a steady role to prove this, but he stood out to me every time I watched the line.
papazoid Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 he stood out because you were comparing him to Kelsay, Denney and Schoebel......lol
murra Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 he stood out because you were comparing him to Kelsay, Denney and Schoebel......lol In other words, he was (debatable) our best DE, therefore making it legitimate that I think it's a reasonable claim for a poster to "miss" him.
Lofton80 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Hargrove had talent. He was a decently high pick. He played well for the Bills. My hunch is he follows Bill Kollar to the Texans. That is why he came to Buffalo in the first place.
The Dean Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Eh, he was a very talented specimen. He did have a steady role to prove this, but he stood out to me every time I watched the line. i can agree with all of that. Simply saying he had yet to develop into a great player. Might he have? Maybe.
thebandit27 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 In other words, he was (debatable) our best DE, therefore making it legitimate that I think it's a reasonable claim for a poster to "miss" him. So you're telling me that a guy that had 2.5 sacks in 22 games with Buffalo is better than a guy that had 60+ sacks in 5 years and made 2 pro bowls? Beyond ridiculous. Hargrove was an on-field cheerleader, nothing more. His best ever NFL season, he had 5.5 sacks, and 3 came in one game (against SF). Other than that year, he's never eclipsed 3 in one season. Crazy talk I tell you.
