News: Breer: The truth about Hardy's latest incident

[DallasInDC]

I sincerely hope Mincey is right in his assessment. Although I've been critical of Hardy, I would be overjoyed if he changed some of his behaviors and started attracting some positive attention.

It won't matter as long as he is a cowboy the media will hold his one transgression as an indictment for the rest of his life. The media loves to talk about redemption stories and players making the most of second chances....unless of course that person plays for the Dallas Cowboys. Dez is the perfect example of this. Outside of the situation with his mother (which only the people present know exactly what happened that day) Dez has been guilty of 1) wearing his pants too low, 2) late payment on some jewelery, and 3) being emotional own and off the field. If you were to go by the media's reporting you would have thought Dez was a maniacal felon that was on the verge of exploding.

Logic has nothing to do with it.
Hardy is a human and we all deal with emotions in different ways. You look down on him like many media members do. You don't know this man and you have not had to walk in his shoes. It's easy to say how someone "should be". We are all experts on how to be perfect.
Yet we all fail at being perfect.

Extremely well said.

It is hard to just take a beating every day and not have the desire to fight back and stand up for yourself.

Of course the moment you do even a little bit, everyone jumps on you and calls you a ticking time bomb.

Just kill the QB every week and make game changing plays and all will be forgotten real soon. That's the way fans are

I don't look down on him. I just think not showing up to à meeting helped his cause.

Won't get any play on pft

Garrett.

Good post...

 

[Risen Star]

So basically he couldn't summon up the courage to face Jeremy Mincey.

 

[Risen Star]

The man is a walking time bomb...

He's bipolar.

I don't know if he's been diagnosed yet but I just did.

Garrett.

And that's part of the issue imo. Garrett addressed it when he should have either supported Hardy or kept it in house.

 

[Nightman]

He's bipolar.

I don't know if he's been diagnosed yet but I just did.

You are like the 5th CZ Keyboard Doctor to make this diagnosis.

I don't see bipolar at all but what do I know, I haven't slept at a Holiday Inn in years.

At least Breer was able to objectively put together a report which didn't paint the guy as some monstrous villan who should be banished from earth. I think the guy cares too much about what people think of him. Just keep your head straight, play football and be a good person and it will all go away.

When Albert Breer was covering the Cowboys, I liked his objectivity, and most of all, his professionalism. Todd Archer is similar in that way.

E I thought he held out at camp and signed an extention

I thought he just got a raise, but no extension.

The Cowboys are one of the few teams that can handle volatile players like Hardy. He's not the first.

Don't forget Dimetrius Underwood, Tank Johnson, Jay Ratliff and Pac Man Jones.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Well, if he didn't want t to face his temmates, and he's embarrassed about messing up again, NOT showing up to meetings is just going to exacerbate the problem. Good thinking, guy.

Do you think anybody has asked any of Adrian Petersons' teammates how they feel playing along side a child abuser?

I still think it's stunning how the guy that admitted to hitting his kid with a stick until there were cuts and scars gets a pass.

 

[DFWJC]

He's bipolar.

I don't know if he's been diagnosed yet but I just did.

I think that's it, RS.
Seems almost textbook.

I'm waiting for ESPN to completely melt down when Peterson uses the word "switch" the way they did when Hardy said "guns blazing" .

Oh wait, Im not.
