More food for thought. Adam Schefter's opinion after speaking with Greg Hardy:
That's Schefter saying he found Hardy very believable, but isn't sure if he believes him or not and he's too chicken (and with good reason) to say so more directly.
It's pretty consistent with what Charles Haley had to say about Hardy last season on Talking Cowboys (I believe this was just prior to the 2nd PHI game). Reading between the lines, Charles suggested Hardy was struggling with the false perception that he'd hit the girl and that he was being advised to keep his mouth shut about it under the circumstances. (And, yes, this is just my interpretation of Haley's comments).
I've thought all along that there was a lot going on with Hardy's side of this story that's not getting fairly played, and I still think so. You'll remember, stash, that I was on the Hardy-to-Dallas train back when most posters thought it was a pipedream. That's back before the debates about what really happened in the DV accusation incident. I didn't have a problem with him coming in on a try-it deal, and I'm glad we did it. I think it was a smart risk.
At this point, whatever happened, and we obviously don't have any idea what happened, I'm not in favor of bringing him back. Whatever he did to ruin his welcome in Dallas, it's pretty obvious that he definitely wore it out somehow in less than a full season. Jerry intimating anything to the contrary is just doing a favor for Hardy's agent in terms of public PR. We've moved on, and if we've moved on this obviously, there has to be a reason for it.
Which also means, I hope, that me saying there's something to Hardy's position about the incident with Holder is not a 'homer' talking. I thought the same thing when he was a Panther, I thought it when he was here, and I think it now that he's in the rear view window.
