As Katie Nolan nailed this week, Greg Hardy is a garage human being who can’t even pretend to respect women for 12 minutes – and it’s bringing out the worst in people who are valuing a game over their humanity. Among the more notable comments Hardy made centered on Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen.

“I hope I come out guns blazing”, Hardy said.

Rolando McClain, the other key Dallas defender playing his first game after a four-game ban for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, had the first sack.

Now Dallas gets the defending Super Bowl champs and their six-game winning streak including the playoffs last season. I’m no particular fan of the quarterback or his team, but here he is being rated as a man on his wife’s attractiveness.

Hardy created a stir Tuesday when he met with the media for the first time since signing with the Cowboys last March. He was convicted in a Carolina court of domestic violence in July 2014. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett has been impressed with Hardy’s progress in practice this week, saying that he looked “comfortable”. “It’s four games into the year and you can’t practice everything”.

“It would be a complete guess, but he certainly has the time for the bone to heal”, owner Jerry Jones said.

“I didn’t think he was going to pull the trigger”, said witness Leslie Williams to the Ft. Brandon Weeden and the group of running backs have done a serviceable job, they should be able to move the football against the Patriots defense tonight. No, they said his wife was hot. It’s takes a lot of different things to handle a guy like that.

The Patriots have not played the Cowboys since 2011, and they have never played in Dallas’ new stadium, which opened in 2009. The charges were eventually dropped last February when the alleged victim refused to cooperate with the district attorney’s office after receiving a financial settlement from Hardy.

Hardy was also criticized and admonished for a reference to guns while explaining his approach to Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

“So they’ve got a couple of them back this week”, Brady said.
