But all of Hardy’s problems don’t seem to bother the Cowboys. Knowing what we do about Hardy, it was terrifying to watch.

For the third time in five months, Garrett acknowledged having to address a misstep by Hardy, who just played his second game after a four-game suspension for his role in a domestic violence case. Everything was caught on video, so there is nothing about this that can be disputed.
While the Cowboys are just going to keep defending Hardy and cover themselves up by calling him “one of the real leaders of this team” – according to Jerry Jones – the Cowboys organization needs to suck it up and realize they made a mistake in signing Hardy and let him go, even if it hurts the team.
“Anybody who has played athletics long enough has been around individuals who have played with passion, and the thing about those types of individuals and those types of personalities is being able to put boundaries around them to get great play out of them on the field but to set the expectations that you are a professional and act professional”, Hennings said at an event at AT&T Stadium meant to raise awareness and prevent domestic violence.
“It was surprising he was in there”.
“We have guys who are well intended on this team”.
Hardy issued a half-dozen “no comments” to questions in the locker room, then turned his back to the reporters.
“That was just a situation that often happens on a sideline where guys are trying to encourage and inspire other guys on their team”.
“I would say they said that when I signed [Hardy], so you begin right there”, Jones said Tuesday.
“He earns it with the respect from all of his teammates”.
“I don’t have any issue with him being involved in motivating or pushing any part of the football team”. Instead, he makes sexist remarks about Tom Brady’s wife before the ‘Boys played the Patriots and then claimed he planned to come out with “guns blazing” before his first game, which under the circumstances, was an inappropriate choice of words. As a veteran player who’s been around, been to Pro Bowls in this league, if then you want to get up in their faces and challenge their lack of effort on the kickoff coverage of Dwayne Harris, that is fine with me.
With Bisaccia getting his players ready for the next kickoff, Hardy barged into the huddle and took a swipe at the coach’s clipboard. “It was kind of tough seeing the ball as well, so at that point in time, all I had was one arm to use”, Randle said. This really calls into question the integrity of one of the most famous franchises in the WORLD! Or is everyone overacting about the whole thing?

COACHING: D. The Cowboys continue to be criticized for how they handle volatile defensive end Greg Hardy. He has three sacks with six tackles and has forced a fumble. These kind of lapses in consistency are incongruous with the Way of the Rooster (TM – Dawn Macelli) and, more importantly are totally congruous with an old adage: “good teams find ways to win, bad teams find ways to lose”.
