Guys a ticking time bomb. He'll have another run in with the law or drug suspension no doubt. When he did actually show up for meetings he reeked of pot. Guy is a loser

Reported by who? Coaches, teammates, or news media?

It was a lot more than being late for meetings. Brian Broaddus has talked extensively about how he repeatedly treated trainers and staff personnel on a daily basis along with the tardiness and conduct in meetings -- the team has simply had enough.

There is perhaps no bigger need on the Cowboys than a pass rush and he's arguably one of the best in the league and is available and we have yet to even make a phone call and this is Jerry we're talking about.

If he couldn't play here with Jerry, Jason, Calvin Hill, the support staff the Cowboys have (see Dez) and team leaders like Romo, Witten and Lee - then he's done.

Pretty sure he isn't. Some team after the injury bug hits during the season will sign him.

There was one report by Nick Eatman claiming the Cowboys considered cutting Hardy during the season. They probably didn't cut him because doing so would have made Jerry look like a fool and that his player program isn't working. Jerry always thinks he can save troubled players who he believes can help his team.

At some point you draw the line. That tells me Jerry would rather save face than do what's right for the team.

Not so fast here. Jerry has always been known to have stood up for his players. He has also always paid the players that produced, not when stretching positional limits, but having produced on the field for the Cowboys. Jerry has never up and left in the cold, a character that at least had potential for forging a constructive character. He didn't give up on a player, if he also had potential to add while on the carpet. That is to the credit of Jerry as well.

No, Jerry doesn't cater to foul players, nor open the door to hooligans. That is an uninformed opinion from the start.

Jerry has set standard for teams and the industry, on team financial rights, team strengthening rules for equal rights and potentials. Both in the gate receipts and in sales around individual team markets.

At the same time, Jerry has brought in team support staffs that lead in what is offered to assist players in a profession that high inordinate public face as well as protected individual rights through court systems and ability to abuse legal rights as well. Simply, Jerry doesn't leave a single player without backing and firm support to overcome his own problems. It is a shame that in today's professional arenas, many players can even be led to water for their own good. But that is a mark upon today's fans and social support that also embraces criminal actions and ethics far below standards of our past.

As to proction of a Cowboys' career, there are no better strength and conditioning structures, facilities of any higher grade, nor supporting medical personnel and equipment to monitor from the point of injury; through rehab; and into developmental conditioning.

No, players are protected in every way possible, and because of the love for his people and sport, by Jerry Jones.

It didn't exactly sound like a folk ballad to me, at least. He was brandishing a lack of commitment in the study and group progression in views of the field. Whether in development of that section or even game day knowledge of specific team characteristics and how those teams had developed up to and into the present. He put himself above knowing his opponent, and team.

Sorry but that is not good enough.

A claim without basis is to be dismissed. That you've been demonstrably wrong on this topic before regarding supposed suspensions just adds fuel to the fire.

And how could we doubt the guy who just posted that Hardy had previous drug suspensions?

Didn't say he had previous suspensions. I said it was a matter of time before he gets in trouble again or suspended for drugs

Didn't want to be that guy, but I have two friends that work for the team. Both of them told me he showed up to meetings smelling of pot. Known them both for over 20 years.

I don't want him back simply because I don't want to have to listen to the broadcasters spending half the dam game talking about what a pathetic and loser franchise this is to sign a woman beater.

Michaels and Collinsworth were the worst, they literally eviscerated the team on those Sunday Night games.
