I knew the Greg Hardy incident was bad when it was originally reported. Part of being a journalist and a non-traditional one at that is having the ability to weed out between fact and fiction of stories that have nothing to do with what is happening on the field.
I already knew that Hardy had a volatile relationship with his Ex-girlfriend. I knew there was a lot of evidence against him.
So the photos Deadspin don’t surprise me, they shouldn’t surprise the NFL or Cowboys either. The reason being is they already had access to them.
They already knew what type of person Hardy before the charges was eventually dropped. In the end his punishment was the same length of time as the NFL wanted to give Tom Brady for so footballs.
The Cowboys call him a leader and the type of person they want on their team.
So no need to fake pretend now, because they knew all of this before. If you try to punish Hardy now would be nothing but PR. Nothing more, nothing less.
