Training camp for the Dallas Cowboys is inching closer and there's still yet to be a ruling on the 10-game suspension for defensive end Greg Hardy.

And with Tom Brady's own appeal drawing out, who knows when a verdict will be handed down.

Until then, here's some analysis from our SportsDay staff and background information surrounding Hardy.

- This lengthy delay from the NFL is happening for a reason, writes Insider David Moore.

- Columnist Tim Cowlishaw has a theory as to why the NFL won't shorten Hardy's 10-game suspension.

- Then again, Cowlishaw also writes that a delay of Hardy's appeal should encourage Cowboys' fans. Here's why.

- With the waiting game dragging on, Hardy is reportedly losing the will to fight the NFL over his suspension.

Just a summary but its all in one place.

 

[DogFace]

Seems like everyone knows exactly as much as us.

Just speculation as you can't predict the outcome of matters like this. Just a summary as I said.

 

[Enlightened32]

Should be 2 games. Period. No reason to drag it out.

 

[CCBoy]

For fresh scent, I'd just as soon rely upon a good pair of coon dogs.

All speculation at this point and I think the "loss of his will" to fight his suspension is just a made up story since there is no new news.

They are bored at this point and just want the pads on just like us. Let's get this season going!

Who doesn't? To say the least, it's been an endless offseason of many more questions than answers.

So, like they used to say on the opening of night football "Are you ready for some football ?"

Hah -- suffice it to say, training camp can't come soon enough. It's been an unbearable exercise that'd surely test the patience of the Biblical Job. I'd even venture to say it's the Cowboys fan's version of Purgatory -- lol.

bullcrap.

accusations alone should not warrant a suspension. if that is now the case, all you have to do is cry foul on someone and they're penalized.

Apparently, the NFL has photos which indicate abuse. I don't know if they do or not. But I doubt very seriously the suspension is based simply on accusations and simply on the dismissal of the charges. Any lawyer can see that would be a losing proposition. The league must have something to base its decision - something legitimate and legal.

We'll see.

so they have photos that at this late in the game, may or may not exist. so you're saying, as i read it, you have no problem handing a man a 10 game penalty cause photos "may exist" but have yet to be shown?

so this whole the NFL has evidence they've yet to show...

100% sheer and utter bullcrap. if this is what you're holding onto, dude, i suppose any port in a storm regardless of how stupid the port is. THE PORT here, not you. i just won't condem a man over evidence that has yet to be seen.

It'll never happen but I wish all the photos were leaked to the public. People could then formulate an opinion of their own about whether the visual evidence constitutes abuse.
